Michele and I met Kiki in 2000 on our Honeymoon at Banyan Harbor. We immediately fell in love with her spirit, humor and generosity. She always mentioned her name was Kiki, not Kinky, but it was always a joke we shared.
Will miss her dearly and remember her every time we visit Banyan Harbor.

Dear Kiki´s family. Kiki made me feel so welcome when I first meet her while working at Bali Hai. She was someone who loved much and was loved by many Kiki trusted God with her life, and now I imagine she is "dancing with David on streets of gold". Love you, Kiki!!

With the deepest sympathy and a heart full of gratitude, I want to honor the life and spirit of Kiki Lee, the incredible concierge at Banyan Harbor. Kiki was so much more than her role-she was a warm presence, a gentle soul, and a person who treated me and my family with the utmost respect, kindness, and genuine care.

From the very beginning, Kiki made us feel seen, welcomed, and valued. Her loving nature and compassionate heart left a lasting impression on us all. She had a rare way of making people feel at ease, offering comfort through her words, her smile, and her sincerity. Those moments-small and big-meant more than she could ever have known.

Her kindness touched my entire family, and her absence will be deeply felt. Kiki´s love, grace, and beautiful spirit will forever live on in our memories and in our hearts. She will truly be missed by my whole family and by me, beyond words.

May she rest in peace, wrapped in the same love and warmth that she so freely gave to others.

Her and my brother Kenny danced like rock stars

What a wonderful soul Kiki was. I never had the pleasure of meeting her in person but experienced her passion for the islands, spirituality and all around generosity through our Facebook friendship. She will be missed by everyone and I will miss seeing her smiling face. May you be at peace and free of pain. She will be a beautiful guardian angel to so many.
