Here is Riley's story and survived by
Riley Kaleo Fernandez was born on December 26, 1986 at Castle Hospital in Kailua, HI. On September 8, 2025, he was ushered into heaven with God and his Angels as he was surrounded by his loving parents and 'ohana. He grew up in 'Aina Haina and Kapahulu. He is survived by his parents, Ray and Cyndie Fernandez; his grandfather Robert Wah Shan Pang; his older brother Rory Fernandez; his younger brother Ryan and wife Tomo Fernandez and niece Reina Fernandez. He loved hiking and going to the beach for surfing, body boarding and swimming. He was more the quiet type, yet had a sharp wit with humorous, wry remarks. He endeavored in the performing arts and dabbled in modeling, acting, comedy & improv, singing and hula. Riley acquired his massage therapy license and would do that work on the side. He also worked with his dad at his sound & lighting company, Sound Marketing. Riley was wonderful with his nieces and nephews, playing video games with his nephews and dancing with his nieces. He was a great friend to all those he let into his circle of aloha. He was a strong believer in naturopathic ways for his healing and was living his best life! He was loved by his parents, grandparents, siblings and all his aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends and will be missed tremendously. To our angel - Riley we love you forever and always and thank you for being a shining light in our lives.
