Jerome Angelito Saniatan, 79 of Waipahu, passed away on March 14, 2022 after battling a variety of Illnesses. He was born in Waipahu and lived there his entire life.

Jerry loved cars and in his teen years enjoyed drag racing in Kahuku, street racing throughout the Island and eventually at Hawaii Raceway Park, which is now considered Kapolei. Jerry loved working on car motors and his brother, Felix aka Boy would take care of all the body work and finishes.
During the Vietnam War, Jerry was called to serve in the Army National Guard until fulfilling his obligation when the war was over.

He would also enter his car after meticulous prepping for Auto shows.
