Honoring the Eleven Lives We Lost
On June 21, 2019, eleven extraordinary lives were tragically lost in the skydiving plane crash at Dillingham Airfield on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. While their time with us ended far too soon, their impact continues through the love they shared, the friendships they built, and the lives they touched.
This page is dedicated to honoring each of these individuals with dignity and gratitude. They were sons, daughters, husbands, wives, family members, friends, mentors, adventurers, and people who inspired those around them. Though they came from different backgrounds and walks of life, they are forever united in our hearts.
As part of the Live It Right mission, we remember not only how these lives ended, but how they were lived. May their memories encourage us to cherish every day, love deeply, serve others, and never take a single moment for granted.
