Gavin Ishii
Gavin Ishii, 39, of Oxnard, CA, was tragically taken too soon doing what he loved the most on Wednesday, May 9, 2017. Rest easy until we see you again.
He was born on March 13, 1979, on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Moving to Oxnard, CA as a teenager, you could take the boy from the island, but never take the island from the boy.
