Maurice Keola Ohumukini’s greatest achievement is ohana. His greatest joy is his wife, his keiki (children), and his mo’opuna (grandchildren/great grandchildren). He is a selfless man who loved to share the spirit of aloha. His kindness has touched the lives of many. He lived an amazing life with traveling around the world, enjoying the outdoors, sharing his culture, and spending time with those he loved. He took his final trip on September 13, 2021. His presence was profound, with an energy to light up any room. He made everyone feel special in their own way. We know you are jumping on clouds, reunited with ohana on the other side, and most importantly, watching over all of us.
