Aloha, I am Keala Mathias, the daughter of Daniel Kaiohema Mathias II

When I was a kid my dad would call me "baby doll". He put me in a baby carrier on his back and that´s where I remained throughout the majority of the day. As I grew older, he taught me how to fish and took me camping. We would ride bikes around the island and laugh over bars of melona and vanilla bon bon's, some of my dad's favorite treats. I will carry these memories forever.
 
He was a proud member of the Army Reserve, specifically Alpha Company, 100th Battalion, 442nd Infantry Regiment. My father definitely embodied the "Go For Broke" mentality.
 
My dad worked at Security Armored Car for 42 years. His charisma and silly demeanor while making his rounds made him well known around the island. Whether it was cracking jokes or sharing pupus and beers with his coworkers, even in the rain, he lived each day with joy.
 
My dad is survived by his sister, Josephine Boykin, his children - myself, John Kam, Jereen Rosa, and Daniel Rosa. I imagine my other brother Peter welcoming dad home with open arms.
 
My hope is that you continue to share memories and stories of him remembering to live with happiness as he did.

Mahalo Dad for treating me like your little princess. I´ll always be your "baby doll". Thank you for the love, laughter, and memories you´ve given us. You live on in the hearts of many. A hui hou.
