Kenneth Jinwa Nako

June 1, 1930 – November 26, 2022

Ken was born, raised and later returned to retire in Upcountry, Maui, Hawaii. The last years of his life, he chose to live with his Daughter, Naomi, and her Husband, in Oregon. Ken was in the Marines and a Veteran of the Korean War. Soon after he returned from the War, He & Alice, his High School Sweetheart and Wife, ventured to California to begin their new life. Ken was soon employed in the Airline Industry and later retired from there, all the while, living in California. Ken touched many with his friendly easy-going personality, generosity, and his passion for painting, yet at times, he was also a quiet man. Ken passed away peacefully on the evening of November 26, 2022, at the age of 92, in Oregon. He was predeceased by his Wife, Alice, his Parents and all of his Siblings. He is survived by one Daughter (Daniel), Nephews, Nieces and Friends. He will remain forever in our Hearts and Memories. Ken’s request was that Services be Private. In lieu of flowers, consider a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association or an Organization or Association that holds special meaning for you.
