Ramon Casupang Obituary
Acts 11:24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. Ramon Calderon Casupang left this life to meet his maker on June 8th , 2025. He died in his Moanalua Gardens home he built for his family surrounded by loving family. Born to Pedro Tamondong Casupang and Maria Calderon Casupang on August 31, 1935 in the city of Pahala, Big Island. Ramon is survived by his five children: Edward (Linda) Casupang, Collette (Michael) Anderson, Joseph Casupang, Ramona (Yolanda) Casupang, and Dean (Shelly) Casupang, nine grandchildren Rena (Dennis) Garcia, Rhaeshaud (Kalia) Perryman, Ikaika (Naoko) Casupang, Marissa Torres, Mariah (Abe) Andrews, Christian Torres, Dilan Casupang, and Ryson Casupang, Kawaiola Anderson along with eight great-grandchildren Cade, Chansen, and Chase Garcia, Leotaro Casupang, Sierra, and Josiah Perryman, Hayden and Micah Andrews. He was also survived by his brother Victor Casupang.
Ramon graduated from Farrington High School and immediately joined the United States Marines with his friends Eddie Kalipolu and Cesar. He then went on to have a career with Hawaiian Telephone Co where he supervised the 1st computer run telephone system which is still in operation in Mililani. Ramon married Rosita Sanico, built a home in Moanalua Gardens and raised his family of five. They were married for 65 years. His work took him to Chicago, Saipan, Japan, and Korea, and he retired after 38 years with Hawaiian Tel.
Ramon loved life and was frequently heard saying at the choicest of moments, “Ah, this is the life!”. He loved recording all he found precious, on super 8 film, then on 35mm cameras and finally on digital memory sticks then creating slide shows that will be appreciated for generations to come. Ramon found joy and beauty in so much: blooming water lilies, family, food, culture. He loved fishing and shared this love of the ocean and seafood with his children. His passion for travel took him to five of the seven continents, not once but multiple times. He travelled the world visiting the existing ancient, engineering, and natural wonders of the world.
Ramon was man of integrity, hard work, kindness, and patience. He instilled in his children the love of God and family.
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Funeral service will be held on Friday August 1, 2025 at 9AM, Our Lady of Good Counsel.
Visitation begins at 9:00 am and Mass 10:30 am.
