Ricky Kaleo O Naali'i Manuel

Ricky Kaleo O Naali’i Manuel, also known as Ricky Boy or Chinito gained his heavenly wings on July 23, 2026. He is survived by his mom, Kathleen, and her spouse Victor Ortiz, his father, Franklin Manuel, and spouse Hana. His siblings: Maria Ortiz, Tatiana Ortiz, Katlyn Ortiz, Chayne Manuel, and Namahana Manuel and niece, Victoria.

Ricky was born on November 22,1992 in Honolulu, Hawaii. From the day he was born his mom knew he was going to be a handful. His loud, strong cry in the hospital was enough for her to know the nurses were bringing him back to the room. Hence, his middle name, KaleoO Naali’i which translates to Voice of the King/Chief. During his elementary school years, many were surprised to learn that Ricky was bilingual, very smart at math, and sang older

Latin songs like “Amorcito Corazon.” He participated in bowling but excelled in Taekwondo. His rambunctious spirit and energy kept his family on their toes. Ricky did a lot of different jobs in his life from working at KFC, driving a tow truck, apartment maintenance, reserve fire fighter, and lastly care giver. He always had big

dreams! To those who knew Ricky knew that his heart was always full of love and loyalty.

The quirky joy that he brough could easily make anyone laugh and smile. Most of all, he was a fierce protector of his family and will be dearly missed. Ricky’s favorite bible verse: Philippians 4:6

Focus on your blessings, not your struggles. Let gratitude fill your heard for all that God has done for you.
