Kazuto Okinaga Obituary

We are sad to announce that on June 14, 2025, at the age of 95, Kazuto Okinaga of Hilo, Hawaii, born in Pepeekeo, Hawaii passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let his loved ones carry forward the torch of his memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of his love and the brilliance of his spirit.
