My beloved brother-in law Wayne.
Growing up having him as a protector, I will always remember how safe he made me feel as a child. I wasn’t allowed to ride with my daddy in his jeep, (way too fast and scary!), but was always allowed, and proud to ride with Wayne and my big sister in his orange and purple jeep. Rolling through the sand dunes at Kaena point, he never made me feel fearful like my crazy daddy. 🤭🫣🥰
As I grew up, he and my sister Lina would entrust me with not only his beloved jeep, but his beautiful children Eva and Jason. His trust in me made me feel extremely proud to call him my brother in law. I learned many things from Wayne, hard work, a sense of humor, but mostly he showed me how a real father and family man should look like. Always providing for and loving my big sister, and making sure her and the kids had everything they ever needed.
I’m praying for Lina, Eva, Jason, and Vivi, that God will embrace them and comfort them as they go through this difficult journey. I love you all.
Rest in love Wayne.
Wayne was my former brother-in-law. He possessed a jovial personality and a warm smile that made you feel welcomed. I just now found out he passed and my heart is so heavy! To his wife and family, may God ease your pain and Bless your days! I will remember Wayne in my prayers and offer a Mass with him in heart! With Agape Love...Hau'oli Catrett
