HONOLULU — Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke released the following statement on the passing of Danny Kaleikini: 

“I am deeply saddened by the passing of Danny Kaleikini. Danny was a good friend who showed love and aloha to all. With humble beginnings in Papakolea, he went on to become a legendary entertainer and recognizable voice across Hawaiʻi and worldwide. 

Throughout his career, he inspired audiences to ‘make aloha a way of life’ – a legacy that will continue to inspire many.
