On Friday the 17th of June 2022, Ruben-James Makana Mai Akua Kaaihue (Born on January 2, 1988) joined his father Glenn G. Kaaihue in heaven.
He is survived by his mother Susan Lee Brown, Sister Mikala K. Laine (Jason), and Brother Weston L. Kaaihue (Kalei).
Ruben is also survived by 3 nephews and 3 nieces. His Aunties, Sally Brown, Doreen Santos (Jules), Marie Augustin (Kenneth), Uncle Thomas Brown (Sari), Randy Boteilho, John-Glenn Boteilho (Malia) and Max Ferris along with many cousins and their children.
Ruben also had many friends that loved him. Ruben was a kind, quiet and gentle soul. His heart and kindness could be felt by everyone that he met. When he got comfortable around you he could tell you stories and make you laugh. He has a strong work ethic and started helping his dad doing landscaping from the time he could hold a rake. He loved to work and was a man of many talents.
He could fish, hunt and cook a pig, build and paint your house, install you AC, clean your yard and fix your car. He was the kind of son, brother, uncle, nephew and friend you would want in your corner. He loved his family so much just as we love him.
He will always be remembered, and loved forever!
Please join us on Sunday July 17th, 2022 from 10am-2pm, remembering him and talking story at Iao Valley.
