With heavy hearts we share the loss of sweet Kalena who passed away at just 16 years old. Kalena was in a tragic car accident driving on Pali Highway, Oahu on June 18th, 2026.

Kalena was a courageous, strong, creative, and adventurous soul. She was ambitious, driven and determined. She had her future mapped out and was well on her way to executing it. She loved exploring the world and discovering treasures in any second hand stores she could find, and she found joy in serving at the nearby food bank.

Most of all, Kalena was a deeply loved daughter to Rick and Alicia, a cherished sister to Kai and Kekoa, and a beloved granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend. Her kindness, laughter, free spirit, and loving heart will leave a lasting impact on the many lives she touched.

This fundraiser has been created to help support the Abelmann Ohana during this unimaginable time. Donations will go toward funeral and memorial expenses, as well as easing the financial burdens that come with such a sudden and tragic loss.

No contribution is too small, and every act of kindness, whether through a donation, sharing this page, mentioning a good memory of Kalena, or keeping the Abelmann family in your thoughts and prayers, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping us honor Kalena’s beautiful life and for surrounding her family with love and support at this time.
