Stevie Feliciano

Stevie Feliciano was a young Honolulu native whose life touched family, teammates and friends. Known locally as a presence on the high-school football field, he appears on Moanalua High School rosters as a wide receiver, a reminder of his participation in team life and community activities. He was 20 years old at the time of his death on December 25, 2016.

Public records and contemporary news accounts place Stevie among a circle of friends and family in Honolulu; coverage at the time quotes his mother and other relatives, and the community response reflected the shock of losing a young person with ties across the neighborhood. Those reports also note the efforts of friends who tried to help him after he was wounded and the many who mourned in the days and months that followed.

Although there is not a published funeral-home obituary located that matches the exact death date in the public obituary indexes searched, contemporary news coverage and court records confirm his identity and the date of his passing. Beyond the public record of events surrounding his last days, available sources emphasize that Stevie was a young man with friends, family connections and activities that mattered to him and to those close to him.

Stevie’s life — brief as it was — mattered to people who loved him. For a family and for a community, memories of his laughter, friendships and the ordinary moments of growing up in Honolulu remain the heart of how he will be remembered. His passing left a lasting impression on those who knew him, and the compassionate recollection of his life honors the person he was rather than the circumstances of his death.
