Gregory Tavares Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Homelani Memorial Park on Jan. 3, 2026.
Gregory S. Tavares, 59, of Hilo, Hawai i, passed away on December 22, 2025.

Gregory was a skilled roofer who took pride in his work. He found joy in the simple things-spending time fishing, crabbing, prawning, and collecting small trinkets that caught his eye and told a story, much like he did.

He is survived by his daughter, Jadelyn (Megan) Naeole; his son, Renden Tavares; granddaughter, Huaka i Naeole; and grandson, Kamana o i o Tavares. He is also survived by his brothers, Gary (Laurie) Tavares of Hilo, HI, and Leroy (Malia) Tavares of Portland, OR; and his sisters, Donnalyn (Abraham) Medeiros of Papaikou, HI and Juliann (Michael Jr.) Figueroa of Pepe ekeo, HI.

A private service will be held.
