KEITH KAMANA'O Obituary

KEITH NOHEA KAMANA'O Keith Nohea Kamana'o was born on April 1, 1959, raised in Kaimuki, Hawai'i, and peacefully passed away at home on October 26, 2023. He is a proud graduate of Kalani High School, class of 1977; and of Honolulu Community College where he received an associate degree in Diesel Mechanic in 2002. He is survived by his wife, Deborah Louise Lauriano Kamana'o; brothers Roland Tung Sing Kamana'o (Debra), Dal Kauionalani Kamana'o (Marsha), and Andrew Kamana'o Sr.; and sisters Valerie Noenoe Martinez, Laurine Kehaulani Dellera, Hazel Pagan, and Angeline "Momi" Julian. Keith, also known as "Kitty Boy," retired from Oahu Transit Services The Bus in 2014. Shortly thereafter, he worked as a driver at Holiday Hawaii Kai Retirement Community (now named The Ivy at Hawaii Kai) through 2023. He loved music and could play just about any instrument. In his free time, he loved hanging out with his wife, friends, and family; having a few cocktails; listening to and playing music; singing karaoke; shooting pool, telling jokes; doing magic tricks; and of course, going to Vegas. He was known for his long ponytail. He had a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh and would make friends with whomever he came across. He was a light that shined no matter where he was. He was "Mr. Aloha" to many and will forever be in our hearts. Malama Pono. A Hui Hou. Services will be held on Saturday, November 25, 2023, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Kahala ward).
