It is with a heavy heart to announce that Jeff Diaz unfortunately passed away on November 22nd at approximately 3:00 PM, drowning while saving 1 of his children from high surf areas in the ocean of Kauai. He was loved and adored by anyone who was lucky enough to cross paths with him.

This GoFundMe was created by one of his sailors, and we are asking for donations to help pay for anything his family may want or need during this extremely difficult time. Let’s join together to show his family how much he was loved and appreciated. 

One message from a friend that couldn’t have been said any better.

“Knowing you and the kind of man you were I’d expect nothing less. To give the ultimate sacrifice, as a father, and as a husband. My heart swells with two sides, one with pride in knowing you, confident that you were right where you were supposed to be. The other sad that we lost a friend, the example, the standard of how a father, husband, and leader should be. Rest easy friend. Fair winds and following seas brother.”
