Louis Michael Capecci's Obituary
Louis Michael Capecci, a compassionate healer and devoted family man, passed away on March 11, 2024, at the age of 40. Born in Atlantic City, he left an indelible mark on the island of Oahu as its First Permanent Pediatric Heart Surgeon.
From the tenderest of hearts to the most complex cases, Louis dedicated his life to performing corrective surgeries on infants, children, and adults. His unwavering commitment to saving lives was evident from an early age, as he knew he wanted to be a doctor even as a young child.
Louis and Miriam’s enduring love story began in high school. They recently celebrated their 10-year anniversary, a testament to their enduring bond. Together, they raised two remarkable daughters: Grey and Isla. It’s a beautiful twist of fate that Isla and Louis shared the same birthday, a cosmic alignment that brought joy to their family.
Beyond the operating room, Louis was a beacon of love and kindness. His impact extended far beyond the hospital walls; wherever he went, he left a trail of compassion and healing. Patients and colleagues alike admired his skill, but it was his warmth and empathy that truly set him apart.
Louis’s family was his heart’s sanctuary. His love for Miriam was unwavering, and their happiness radiated like sunlight through their home. He was not just a doctor but also a friend, a father, and a devoted husband. His absence will be felt deeply by everyone who knew him.
As the sun sets over Oahu, we remember Louis Michael Capecci—a brilliant surgeon, a loving father, and a cherished friend. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the hearts he mended, and the love he shared. Rest in peace, dear Louis. You will be missed, but your spirit will forever echo in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know you.
