Gilbert Kwock On Au's Obituary
Our beloved father, Gilbert Kwock On Au, passed away peacefully at home at the age of 93 on January 25th, 2025. Born in Hanalei, Kauai, on November 7th, 1931, he was a compassionate, hardworking, and resilient man who touched our lives deeply.
Dad had a passion for cooking, bringing joy to our family through his delicious meals. His love and dedication were evident in every dish he prepared for us.
Dad also had a love for real estate and together with Mom founded and operated a successful real estate investment company.
He is survived by his loving children: Kevin Au (wife Lilian), Brian Au (wife Irene), Cecily Ching (husband Victor), Kimberly Kau (husband Karlton), and David Au; 8 grandchildren Aron, Andrew and Ethan Ching, Brandon and Justin Au, and Kaitlin, Kristina and Kenneth Kau; 2 great-grandchildren Daniel and Caleb Au; and a brother, Dr. Stanford. Dad's unwavering support and affection shaped each of us, and his legacy lives on through the values he instilled.
The family wishes to specially acknowledge Dad's loyal caregivers, Bernie and Milika.
We will gather to honor Gilbert’s life on February 24th, 2025, at Diamond Head Mortuary. Public visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m. and services at 11:00 a.m. We invite all who knew and loved him to join us in celebrating his life. A private burial will follow at Valley of the Temples.
Dad, your memory will forever be our comfort. We miss you dearly and will carry your love in our hearts always.
