In Loving Memory of Olson Keliiwaiwaiole
Olson K. Keliiwaiwaiole passed away peacefully at his home on June 28, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 52 years, Paulette; his son, Olson (Chelsie) Jr.; his daughters, Shandell (Stacy) Wong; Vonnette Keliiwaiwaiole; Brandie (James) Keliiwaiwaiole- Herndon; his brother, King Keliiwaiwaiole (Lynette); and his sisters, Dolores “Angel” Camacho (Vann) and Jeanette Keo.
Olson grew up chasing the sun — from racing cars and paddling canoe, to excelling in every hobby or job he took on. He found joy in craftsmanship, especially in making ukuleles by hand, and shared his heart through cooking and especially music, which became a few of his deepest love languages.
He is also lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and countless friends whose lives were touched by his kindness, humor, and strength.
As we move forward, we carry with us the memory of our favorite man — the one who made us feel special with just a smile and his love. His legacy of warmth, laughter, and aloha will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
His memorial service will be held on:
Thursday, September 11, 2025 Mililani Memorial Park & Mortuary, Mauka Chapel at 5pm
His burial service will be held on:
Tuesday, September 16, 2025 near the Makai Chapel at 10:30 am (look for the canopy)
