Donicio Lagodlagod's Obituary
With love and gratitude, we celebrate the beautiful life of Donicio “Nish” Lagodlagod, who passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at the age of 86.
Nish was a man of great heart and quiet strength who lived life for his 'ohana, always down to make jokes, and always carried deep aloha. He was a dedicated worker at Unocal for many years, where he poured his pride into every day on the job and always made sure to take care of his family. He loved to fish, talk story, and spend time with his ʻohana—whether at backyard parties, Waialua beach days, or the many unforgettable gatherings at 1570 Murphy Street.
More than anything, Nish loved his family. He is survived by his wife, Fe Lagodlagod. He is also survived by his daughters from a previous marriage, Cheryl Martin and Candis Castro; his grandchildren, Ivy Lagodlagod, Ivonne Lagodlagod, Drake Martin, Driana Lagrimas, Dario Martin, and Diani Martin; and his great-grandchildren, Kaiela Lagrimas and Kinsley Lagrimas.
He now joins his beloved wife Kapili, son Joe, and daughter Kehau, who have gone before him. We believe they're having a great reunion together!
Our dad had deep love and respect for Granny Bea, mom’s siblings, and all the aunties, uncles, and cousins who welcomed him so warmly into the family. He often reflected on his baseball days, Hau'ula memories, and the joy of being surrounded by loved ones.
Please join us in honoring his life:
