In loving memory of Pono Kaliko

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a beloved son, brother, uncle and friend. My brother Pono Kaliko passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 30 on August 30th, 2023. We take comfort in knowing that he went home to be with the Lord and his memory will forever be etched in our hearts. We are coming together to honor Pono’s beautiful soul.

Pono had the ability to light up any room that he entered. He had a heart that was as big as his smile, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. His kindness and compassion were a testament to the remarkable person he was. While Pono’s time with us was cut short he made a significant difference in the lives of all of us and everyone he knew.

We are all devastated by Pono’s loss and we want to give him the memorial he deserves to honor his memory. Please keep our family in your prayers as we navigate this difficult time.
