The late Alvin Godfrey Castro Jr. was a beloved resident of Kamuela, Hawaii. His family and the community are mourning his passing while preparing for his Celebration of Life on August 17, 2024, at Mana Christian Ohana. Alvin’s wife, Kristen Castro, is organizing the event and has expressed her deep gratitude for the support she has received during this difficult time.
Alvin Jr.’s life was tragically cut short on April 21, 2024, due to two cardiac arrests at Queens Punchbowl in O’ahu. His sudden passing has left his family, including his children, struggling to find a new normal. Kristen Castro shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, inviting those who knew Alvin to join the Celebration of Life, ensuring that he receives the beautiful remembrance he deserves.
The tragedy deepened when, on June 28, 2024, Kristen received a devastating phone call informing her of another accident. Her son, Alvin Godfrey Castro III, known as "Kolu Boy," was involved in a fatal car accident while on his way to work at a golf course near Puaanahulu. The collision occurred when another driver attempted an unsafe turn, resulting in a head-on crash. Despite efforts to save him, Kolu Boy was pronounced dead at Queens ER in Waimea.
Kolu Boy was a vibrant young man, full of life and love. He was eagerly anticipating the birth of his first child in October, a daughter who will now grow up without her father’s physical presence. Kristen, heartbroken, expressed her sorrow and pride in her son, who had a remarkable ability to make others feel comfortable and loved.
The family has faced overwhelming grief, compounded by financial strain. Kristen Castro has set up a GoFundMe campaign titled "A LIFE TAKEN TOO SOON, OUR KOLU BOY" to raise $10,000 for the Celebration of Life and to support her family, including her unborn granddaughter. The community’s response has been a testament to the impact Alvin Jr. and Kolu Boy had on those around them.
Kristen’s heartfelt words on the GoFundMe page reflect her profound loss and enduring love for her son and husband. She wrote, "I’ll love you forever, my beautiful baby boy. You will always be missed, my son. Give Dad all our love and tell him we miss him so very much."
The Celebration of Life for Alvin Godfrey Castro Jr. and his son Kolu Boy will be a poignant event, honoring the memories of two cherished individuals whose lives were intertwined by love and fate.
