Ralph Lee Mesick's Obituary
Ralph Lee Mesick, 90, passed away peacefully on April 19, 2026, in Mililani, Hawaii, surrounded by his loving family.
Faith and family were the cornerstones of Ralph's life. He was a proud graduate of St. Louis School, Class of 1954, and was known for his strong work ethic, kindness, and devotion to those he loved.

After their children were grown, Ralph and Rose settled in Kailua-Kona, where they built a fulfilling life together and became part of the community they would call home for more than 40 years. Ralph retired from KTA Super Stores after a long and dedicated career.
Ralph is lovingly remembered by his children, Ralph "Max" Mesick (Erlinda) and Ruth "Cissy" Masuda (Scott Kawahara); his grandchildren, Jennifer Kala (Kapili), Justin Masuda, Lauren Frodente (Brendan), and Kimberly Mesick; and his great-grandchildren, Gemma Frodente and Damian Frodente.
At the time of his passing, Ralph was also survived by his sisters, Ruth Groves and Lysa Palmer. Ruth passed away eight days after Ralph.
