Hundreds of people turned out this morning to pay their last respects to Keahihoku Lum, the 17-year-old Farrington High senior who died Oct. 4 when he was struck by a boat while free-diving in Maunalua Bay.

By 10:30, a long line snaked out of the New Hope Christian Fellowship chapel on Sand Island Access Road.
Organizers of the service and celebration of life said they printed 750 programs but were printing more.
The entrance to the chapel was decorated with colorful photos and photo collages of Lum.
Each showed his warm, engaging smile.
The photo on the cover of program was typical — Lum smiling and flashing a shaka sign, clad in his new Hope Oahu Safety Team uniform.
“You couldn’t really ask for much more than Keahi,” said Safety Team captain Niall Silva. “He was very good. He was always kind to everyone. He did volunteering with other ministries. He was heavily involved. He touches everyone he encounters, a little rascal at times.”
Micah Rabanal, a Farrington classmate of Lum, called him “the most generous guy.
“He was a really well-balanced person. He knew the time to party. He knew the time to work. He knew the time to relax.”
Another classmate, Halen Yacapin, said Lum was “a cool-run guy ... when I heard he died, I just cried.”
As part of the celebration, a group of about two dozen Farrington students performed a song on stage.
Its chorus went:
“Keahi, you’re gone and I knew it was wrong deep in my heart.
“Now I’m wondering why you had to leave us from the start.”
