Our Ohana

Kainoa. He was a son, a brother, and a friend to so many. He was a caring, generous, funny, unique young man who was quick to bring a smile to anyone who needed a little support. He always rooted for the “underdog.” Kainoa loved the water—lakes, rivers, and especially oceans. He enjoyed hiking to explore unique places. He loved to play football, snowboard, and surf.

He struggled for years with an addiction to opioids. First hidden, then apparent. While in recovery, he struggled to make the next step to progress. Kainoa’s Ohana was formed by his mother, father, and lifelong friends after he lost his life to the battle of addiction while in recovery.

This foundation is established in memory of Kainoa. Through our program, we extend our support and friendship, which is how we raised our son and continue to honor his life.
