Megan May Funderburk Memorial

All of our hearts are broken for the loss of our treasured Megan May Funderburk. Megan was 24 years old, and originally from Southern Oregon, who went missing mid-afternoon, Sunday, February 9th from the Wainaku Scenic Point area, located just north of Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Saturday morning, she was tragically found deceased from an accidental fall close to a hiking trail near the view point .

Her dad left a special message about Megan which read, "Megan will always be in our hearts. Her life was full of love for others and love of life. Anyone close to her had a very special connection with a beautiful person. Her and I were as close as a parent and child could be and I am thankful to have experienced such a deep love. I want all of you to know how much I appreciate you friendship and love in my families life. When Megan visited me last time she told me how blessed I was to have so many true relationships. Thank you and please take this time to cherish and love your close ones. That is what Megan would ask of us. Devon and I are looking forward to seeing you all soon."

Megan's father Dave and her brother Devon traveled to the island to assist in the search, alongside, Chris Berquist, who arrived from Maui to assist with the search. There were a lot of unexpected expenses that accrued in these search efforts. We know that there are a lot of people who are asking how to contribute to helping the family through this hard time and have set up this page in an effort to offset any financial burdens so they can focus on healing and remembering their daughter. We appreciate the outpouring love and support that the family has been shown during this time.
