Kainoa, I miss you so much I like many of our family am moved to tears when I think of you. I dream of you often and wake up wishing for just one more minute with you. I will never forget you or our adventures together. You've always been such a strong, caring, and intelligent young man & even though your time was cut short I know one day we'll be seeing each other again.
I love you cousin
Sincerely, Your cousin Donovan

Noah, I think of you all the time. Sweetest boy from the beginning of life. You are a true blessing to all who had the privilege of knowing you.
The best little baby. When I told people we were taking a 6 month old baby to Hawaii, everyone chuckled ,and warned us how terrible it would be. Little did they know what a perfect baby you were.
When I think back to my favorite memory. It's of you riding your bike to my house and having a soda with me on the porch.
You were always a happy little boy, and great to be with. Kainoa, you truly are a blessing to the Brown family in life, and as an angel.
There is no doubt in my mind you are doing wonderful things in heaven, the same as you would have done in life. I hope everyone in heaven enjoys your presence, as we did here.
There isn't many days that go by that you and your family aren't in my thoughts.
My only regret is that I didn't get the opportunity to be close to you as a young adult growing up.
I read your journal at your service, you had a lot of dreams and plans that didn't get to come true. I am so sorry you had to leave so young.
Please rest in peace knowing that all your family and friends are waiting to see you again. Thank you for the time you were here, to bless us with your optimistic personality.
Here's to you little buddy.
Loving you everyday whether you are here, or in heaven. Love you.
Love, Aunt Regina

Kainoa,
It has been eight weeks since you've been gone and I can honestly say that I would do anything to get you back. I have been blessed to know you and to have had the time with you that I did. I remember all those times you stayed over at our house, and all the times you played video games while you were visiting. I remember all the laughs and good times that we shared as a family during birthdays, family gatherings, and KJBA events. I remember how sad we were when you moved away and how we rejoiced in your company when you and your family came to visit here in Reno. And, of course, I remember every painful day since we lost you. Such a devastating loss. I am still moved to tears when I think of you, which is often, and even now as I type this.
I, like everyone in our family (and our very large extended family), will remember you forever.
And as sure as the sun rises and sets, I know that in the future the pain will be less and less difficult to bear and memories will come with more smiles and less tears. I know without a doubt you are looking over us, especially your mom and dad, and your brothers, and I am comforted by this.
While I can't speak for everyone, I can say that I will be the best man that I can be while I am here and I look forward to seeing you again when my time comes.
I love you and miss you with all my heart,
Uncle Lance

I remember so many years ago meeting the cutest little boy wearing a red fireman helmet that swallowed up his head. He sat on the hood of a fire truck with the biggest smile. He brought a smile to my brother Tyler's face who would soon have the honor of being his dad. I know he brought joy to my brother's life and to others who came to know him. He was a great big brother and he always made my daughters laugh.
He will be greatly missed but I know we will meet again. We send our love to my brother Tyler and his wife, Lehua and their sons, Makani and Nikoa. We love you.

I can't say that I knew Kainoa extremely well. But during the couple times we hung out he definitely made an impression. He's someone that you could have a good time with. I wish he wasn't taken so early from us. He was very friendly. I remember when he came to Las Vegas to help us move into our house that him, my sisters and I were playing volleyball outside . I remember that he hit the ball too hard and I ended up having to jump over the fence to get it. Kainoa will always have a place in my heart. He will always be remembered. <3

Uncle Tyler and Aunt Lehua
one of my favorite memories of kainoa was when we went to Grandpa Dennis family camp out thing out in Manhattan and kainoa brought one of his little motor cycles to the camp out and I never knew how to ride one. he asked me if I wanted to learn how to ride his motor cycle. he tought me how to ride a motorcycle and I'll never forget that day. I miss him and think of you guys often.

Lehua and Tyler, Theres not a day that goes by that I don't think of you guys, I hope this provides some comfort:
He had a contagious smile
That could lighten up a room
Put a skateboard at his feet
And he would just go zoom
Sometimes things will happen and we may not understand why
God decides to take an angel without letting us say goodbye
Questions left unanswered and an emptiness left inside
Of why he had to leave us, the moment when he died
My heart is feeling broken and not knowing what to say
My brother and his wife will never forget this day
Two brothers lost a role model and his parents lost their son
Aunts and uncles lost a nephew and cousins a close one
If we could rewind time and change a couple things
Kainoa would still be here and ready for what life brings
Such a sweet spirit, Even in his death he chose to help more
Life will go on in others and a part of him will still soar
Not a day will go by that we don't think of him and smile
Want to pick up the phone and just keep hitting redial
Taking it day by day will definitely
be hard to do
Until we meet again young man
Kainoa we love you!

To the best grandson ever. Rest in peace sweetheart. We will love you forever and miss you dearly.
Lehua, you are a wonderful mother and Tyler, you are a loving father. How much Kainoa will be missed by so many is a testament to how you raised him. He was a fine person who will be a shining example of what a young man should be to family and friends for many years to come.
