Honolulu, HI—The community mourns the unexpected passing of Kaleo Ing, a cherished firefighter and master craftsman. Kaleo was deeply admired for his dedication to his work and his commitment to his family. He leaves behind his wife, Claire, and their two young children, who are now facing an incredibly difficult time.
Kaleo was known not only for his exceptional firefighting skills but also for his passion for teaching and mentoring others in the fire service. His colleagues remember him as a patient and passionate instructor, always striving to ensure the safety and well-being of those around him. His impact on the community extended far beyond his work, as he was also a talented woodworker who found joy in creating beautiful pieces from raw materials.
In a heartfelt Facebook post, Kama Ortiz expressed, "Kaleo was an amazing person and firefighter. His Ohana is going through so much right now. Please donate and help give back to those who give. #missyoubrother #prideservicededication #hawaiian."
A fundraiser has been organized by Friends of Kaleo Ing to support his family during this tragic loss. As of now, $800 has been raised towards the $50,000 goal. Donations have been received from William Thornock ($100), Makana Hirayama ($100), Jean-Claude Bisch ($500), and Alika, Paoa, and the Naluai girls ($100). The funds will help cover daily living expenses, funeral costs, and contribute to the education and well-being of his children.
Kaleo’s memory will live on through the love and light he brought into the lives of everyone who knew him. As the community grieves, they are reminded of the importance of coming together to support one another during these difficult times.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Kaleo Ing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this period of sorrow.
