Ferdinand Blancaflor's Obituary
With a heavy heart, our beloved father, Ferdinand Andres Blancaflor, passed away on February 26, 2024 at the age of 60 in Honolulu, HI. He was born in Sampaloc, Philippines on February 24, 1964 to Fredesvinda and the late Servillano Blancaflor. Ferdinand dedicated almost 20 years of service to the State of Hawaii, Department of Attorney General-Tax Division. He began his journey in 2001 as a Legal Clerk and was later promoted to a Legal Assistant III in 2017.
His life’s legacy will live on through his mother: Fredesvinda; wife of 22 years: Marites; six loving children: Carm, Dantes, Francis, Angelica, Joseph and Diana; sons in law: Kuaiwa and Nicholas; and three beautiful grandchildren: Kristine Rica, Ku'alena, and Ku'ana; and grandpuppy Coco Bean. He is also survived by his siblings: Estrella (Allen), Gloria (Vergel), Arthur (Bernadeth), Edwin (Alice), Eugene and numerous nieces, nephews, and relatives. Ferdinand was predeceased by father Servillano Blancaflor, brother Kennedy Blancaflor, aunt Emelita Soria, niece Sheryl Wolfe, and our beloved family pet Princess.
He always taught us to treat everyone with love and respect, and supported us all throughout the many accomplishments and difficulties of our lives. When Ferdinand was not working for the State of Hawaii, he could be found cheering on the San Francisco 49ers, playing darts with his brothers, and expressing his talents through watch customizations, karaoke sessions, and once in a blue moon; cooking. He made the best steaks and his specialty dish “salted egg and tomato” that we enjoyed growing up. Besides Ferdinand’s caring and loving nature, he was also known to be a jokester. Whether it would be his actual dad jokes or his infectious laugh, he knew how to put a smile on everyone’s face. His bright and warmhearted personality along with his positive outlook in life will truly be missed.
Please join us in honoring our father, Ferdinand, to celebrate his life with our family. The Celebration of Life Ceremony will be on Tuesday, March 26, 2024 at the Valley of the Temples Mortuary. Visitation is scheduled to begin at 5:00 PM and will be webcasted live for those unable to attend.
