Roger Pannier Obituary
With solemn reverence, we commemorate Roger Pannier (Kahului, Hawaii), whose life came to an end on May 17, 2025 at the age of 96, leaving behind cherished memories. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Roger Pannier to show support.
As Roger departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Roger may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Roger leaves behind.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Howard Pannier and Helen Pannier. He is survived by: his wife Tala Vinluan; his children, Steve Pannier and Karen Allen (Glen); and his stepchildren, Glen Kakugawa (Sandy), Liana Kakugawa and Wanda Kakugawa. He is also survived by his many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
