When i sit in my grandmother's yard and look up at the Waimanalo Ko'olau Range, it will always remind me of Mahi. I remember in my younger years he took me hiking up the mountain and I was so scared yet I made it. That was the first and last time. Because of you I was able to experience the beauty of Waimanalo from above. 
Love You Mahi ❤️
-Kawena

Recognize this? Moms hybiscus tree. I love you, Mahi. I'll always love you. Always. Forever my brother.

We made Niihau shell earrings with Waiu'i and the Ahana cousins.

Uncle Wildon and Aalii opened coconut so Aunty Giselle and Waiu'i could shred the coconut to make candy.

Peter sent all of us this photo after he flew back to Maui. Beautiful isn't it. I know you would love that.

I love you Mahi! For being funny and making me laugh back in the day, day…..day when you had to dishes elementary days Samlynn (I miss you cousin) yelling “Mahi!!!! Mahi!!!! No get stoopid, Mahi, do da dishes, yeah!” I don’t know why I felt like I was in trouble, too, because I ended up helping him.  And this Mahi out of the blues decides to say “ Oh Deannette you look like one Alyssa Milano you know when you smile” I was like Alyssa Milano??? Do you know what she said about Hawaii girls? Mahi: “no, what” Me: “ yeah she went say Hawaii girls are sluts, I don’t like her ” ( I used to speak pidgin, I forget how) Mahi: “ugh! Now I no like her” I have many more to share not only about Mahi but very fond memories of all the Ahana gang!  I love you Aunty Novie Uncle Bud Pebz  & Sam 

I remember boogie boarding with you, Peter, and Chap at Makapu’u. I took off on a good size one and ended up getting pounded with my legs bending back almost touching my head. You and Chap were on the beach and were yelling “hoooo”! It looked worse than it felt but after rolling up on the beach we all had a good laugh about it.

Growing up, we would always camp at Baby Makapu`u. And uncle Mahi would always tag along. He swam, played, ate with us. He loved his family very much. He would tell us stories in the water of when he was a child and would play and surf. With all the stories he told, uncle Mahi was strong and almost indestructible in my eyes. And mom, aunty pebbles, or tutu always confirmed his stories. 

This is the only photo I have of you at Pomai's graduation.

This is the night Pomai graduated. See that photo of him behind us? Thats the one you took to raise in the air during the ceremony. You left for the bathroom and came back with it. I thought, "Oh how nice! Mahi printed a photo of Pomai for graduation." And then the counselor of the school tapped you on the shoulder and asked you to put the photo back on the stand.

We're all making lei while Waiu'i sings mele for us.

Mikes dad was here at that time as well. He visotes you too.

Rhe last time,Pomai saw you he was with his friend, Theo, and his girlfriend Kristina. They were headed to Sherwoods but stopped by the house. Pomai said you tried to give them money to buy lunch. You were always like that, very generous. He's so glad they stopped by.

One thing I will always remember about my uncle Mahi is that he was the most enthusiastic, passionate story teller. I remember when he used to walk me to elementary school and we would get breakfast in the cafeteria. The cafeteria was more silent than the night before Christmas, that is because uncle Mahi was telling me a story about his dirt bike days and he was so loud the whole cafeteria was watching and listening. He was always like that and no one else tells stories like my uncle Mahi.

Aalii was a nerd for Halloween. His teacher was a human rights proponent who was cancelled  from social media.

Whenever I'd take the kids to visit you at work you would always bring them rootbeer and pupus. I'd order something so it wouldn't look like you were just giving away free stuff.  The kids always loved visiting you at work because you made them laugh and you always made it fun.

Here's Aalii, Kuhilani's 2 daughters, Gabrielle, Desmond and Isaiah in Waikiki for Kamalu's celecration of life.
