 Coby Roy Kahikolu

 Coby is the fifth and last child of the Akana Ohana and #3 son born to awesome parents Paree and Rylen.  He also shares the same birthday with brother Cameron and father Rylen.  When he was born, Rylen told Paree ... "You already gave me one of these for my birthday" (speaking of Cameron), to which Paree replied ... "Well you liked the last one, I'd thought you'd like another one!"

Coby is a 13 and an 8th grader at Odle Middle School.  His passion is football, and especially the Seahawks.  He finished his 3rd year of football, playing quarterback in the Bellevue Bears program.  He looks forward to entering high school next year. He still likes playing musical instruments, and plays the drums and guitar.

 HOKU

February 2, 2000 - March 28, 2014

Hoku lived 14 vibrant years with our ohana.  She was a sweet, docile, friendly dog that was full of life and energy!  Her favorite things to do was dart out the front door when opportunities arose, steal food off the kitchen counter when no one was watching, and just being a friend to us all.  She will be missed dearly, but know she is running like the wind in doggy heaven!
