David Maki
A gentle soul, David Maki of Kekaha, Kaua‘i, went over the rainbow on April 16, 2025. He lived a fulfilling life. 81 years on Earth, he was a beloved grandson, son, brother, uncle. David was a strong swimmer, surfer, lifeguard, veteran, fireman, world traveler, paddler, beekeeper, nurturer of nature, animal lover and rescuer, a loyal friend and so much more.
David is truly missed but will never be forgotten. His memories live on when we see the glistening waves rolling in, the soothing Waimea river flowing, the healthy trees that he planted and nourished with “Mokihana’s Magic Manure”, the animals that he loved and found peace with.
A hui hou David, until we meet again.
Preceded in death by his father Clarence “Mac” Maki.
He is survived by his mother Edna, brother Russell (Francine), sisters Laura Lynn (Norman) Chong, Rozzie Maki (Steward Reeves), Anne (Craig) Roberts, and nieces and nephews.
