Obituary for Isaac Ikaaka
Ha'o III
Isaac Ikaaka Ha`o, III,
MSW, passed away in the mid-morning hours of December 28, 2015. The son of
father, Isaac Ikaaka Ha`o Jr., and mother, Dorothea Eleanor Toogood, Isaac was
born December 13, 1945 in the US Territory of Hawai’i. Isaac is survived by his
eternal spouse: Kimberly; sons: Brian Lehman, Darren Peter, Kristopher-James
Kalani, Isaac Ikaaka IV, Karl Kepano, Ian Kelekolio, Nicholas Anekelea;
daughters: Keli`ipu`unani Ann, Kehau Elizabeth, along with many grandchildren,
hanai children and hanai grandchildren.
He is also survived by his
sisters: Stephanie, Brenda, Robin, Sharon, and Lori; brothers: Aaron Isaac Ha’o
and Harold Hirakawa, all of Hawaii.
As a youth, Isaac was avid
surfer and loved being in the ocean. When he was 16 and before he became a
member of the LDS church, he, along with his LDS cousins, donated time to work
on the building of the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie. At age 18, Isaac was
drafted to US Army service, serving in the Infantry during the Vietnam
Conflict. Upon returning from service that earned him a Purple Heart, Isaac
became an Officer. Following military service, Isaac worked as an automotive
mechanic, owned his own vehicle servicing business, and earned academic degrees
in information technology, secondary education and graduate social work. Isaac was
a teacher in middle school and maintained a social work practice counseling a
range of people from troubled youth and dysfunctional family units to military
veterans suffering from PTSD. His was a life of service: to God, country and
family.
Isaac suffered for more
than two decades with chronic and debilitating symptoms arising from his
exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam resulting in heart disease, diabetes and
chronic pancreatitis. His passing was peaceful and in his home.
Isaac loved people and
turned strangers to friends with a mere short conversation. His family members
cannot go anywhere without meeting a friend of his.
Viewing to be held from

Monday, January 4, 2016 at LDS Stake Center: 2977 Saddle Rock Road, Eagle
