Martin "Puki" Nai Jr.

God blessed us with Martin "Puki" Lopaka Nai Jr. on August 21, 1997. God embraced this beautiful young man and took him home on September 10, 2018. Puki truly was a special young man full of life. His passion for life and embracing the island culture from mauka to makai throughout his journey, gave him the drive to challenge and be open to experience just about anything. He was good at just about everything! His ultimate favorite was hunting. Puki was one of the most genuine individuals you will ever meet. His love was so pure he made each person feel so blessed to be around him. The loyalty and respect for all who he loved was evident in his eyes. Full of joy and liveliness, he thrived on sharing that with everyone. Whether that meant being the comedian, the entertainer or his favorite "scare the crap out of you", he would do it all!
