John Herbert Nakamura

John will be remembered with deep affection as a beloved presence in the lives of those who knew him—someone whose steady care and considerate nature were felt in quiet, lasting ways. His thoughtfulness showed itself not only in what he said, but in how he made room for others, offering attention, patience, and a sense of calm that will be dearly missed.

John shared his life with his spouse, Irene, and held close the bonds of family, including his sisters Pat, Marie Catherine and Audrey, son In-law Jim and granddaughter Tayer. He was also devoted to his parrot, Honeylani, a cherished companion who brought daily comfort and familiarity to his home.

In his personal time, John found enjoyment in golfing and in watching football—simple pleasures that gave rhythm to his days and moments to look forward to, whether spent in quiet focus or shared with others.

John’s words, “Getting old is a gift. I can, because of you,” reflect a perspective marked by gratitude and recognition of the love that surrounded him—an enduring sentiment that will remain with those who carry his memory forward.
