Clarence "Junior" Alexander Kaopuuokalanikuuleialoha Mortensen

Clarence "Junior" Alexander Kaopuuokalanikuuleialoha Mortensen, 48 of Wailuku passed away at home on June 29th after a long battle with cancer. He was born in Honolulu and raised in Kailua, Oahu, before moving to Kailua Kona on the island of Hawaii where he lived and raised his family for many years. He moved to Wailuku, Maui shortly after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. He was told he had 6 months to live, but by God's grace and blessing, he was given the chance to live another 3 years with us, not before losing his youngest brother Clay Mortensen just a month prior to his death. The family would like to acknowledge Hospice Maui for their compassionate care of Clarence "Junior" Mortensen.

He will be missed tremendously and was the kindest person in the world. His famous quote was, "Has anyone told you I love you today? Well I love you".

We know you're at "Home" now, so a hui hou.
