Story
It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of Dr. Stephen Lopaka Kalaluhi, affectionately known as Paka, on May 24, 2025, at the age of 50. Stephen was a beloved husband to Gina, a devoted father to Gabriel and Caleb, a passionate entrepreneur, and a powerful mentor who touched countless lives with his unwavering support, wisdom, and heart.
Stephen was a man who lit up every room he entered—his smile, charisma, and unmatched sense of style were simply unforgettable. Whether through his coaching, his commitment to personal development, or his love of cigars and bourbon, Stephen poured himself into people. He believed in seeing the gold in everyone and helped so many uncover it.
Tragically, due to unforeseen financial challenges and an outstanding debt that forced him to cancel his life insurance, his family is now left without the safety net he had hoped to provide. With funeral expenses and the ongoing cost of living, this loss has placed an unimaginable burden on Gina and their two sons.
We are reaching out to those who knew, loved, and were impacted by Stephen to consider making a donation—no matter how big or small—to help support his family through this painful time. Your generosity will go toward covering funeral costs, providing stability for his children, and giving his family the time they need to grieve without the added weight of financial hardship.
If Stephen ever made you feel seen, supported, or inspired, we hope you’ll honor his memory by lifting up his family now.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
With love and gratitude,
The Kalaluhi Family
