Kana, Latham services combined

 • Obituaries

Combined funeral services will be held Friday and Saturday for three men killed in a single-vehicle crash last week on Maui.

Tyson Latham, 20, was from Wailuku and brothers Na'ilimakuawai'oleokekulamehamehaokaluna'iu'iukeahua "Na'i" Kana, 20, and Kalamakuokana'auao "Tuku" Kana, 17, were from Waihe'e.

They were traveling north on Kahekili Highway, about a half-mile north of Wilipohaku Street, on Sept. 30 when their car, driven by Na'i Kana, crossed the center line, returned to the north-bound lane, then hit an embankment and overturned.

Na'i Kana died in the accident. Latham was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead the next day.

Tuku Kana, a senior at King Kekaulike High School, was also taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center, where he died on Sunday.

Latham, a Maui County lifeguard, is survived by parents William "Wade" Latham Jr., and Veralyn "Sissy" Frame; sister, Jana Frame; grandparents, Ora Souza Latham, Verlin "Bill" and Kiele Ka'auamo Frame; and two nieces.

The Kana brothers are survived by parents, Jacob Jr. and Leinani; brothers, Kamauliola and Ka'ananalu; sisters, Kanekapolei and Laleinani; grandparents, Daniel and 'Awapuhi Carmichael, and Jacob Sr. and Charlene.

Na'i Kana, an editor with AKAKU Television Network, is also survived by companion, Risa Yarborough and daughter, Kaha- li'a Kana-Yarborough.

Arrangements include visitation from 3 to 9 p.m. and service at 6:30 p.m. Friday at St. Anthony Catholic Church. On Saturday, there will be visitation from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Ke'anae YMCA Gym, followed by burial at St. Gabriel's Church Cemetery.
