In Loving Memory of Noel Lono
HONOLULU (KHON2) — The Kapolei community is grieving the tragic and heartbreaking loss of Noel Lono, 26, whose life was taken far too soon in a devastating shooting on February 27, 2026. An act of domestic violence has left her family, friends, and neighbors in profound shock, sorrow, and disbelief.
Noel’s passing is not only a tragedy but a painful reminder of how fragile life can be. At just 26 years old, she had so much life ahead of her — dreams still unfolding, goals still within reach, and countless memories yet to be made. Instead, her loved ones are left holding onto the moments they shared, now more precious than ever.
Those who knew Noel describe her as a bright, loving soul whose heart was centered on family. She was someone who gave of herself freely, who stood by those she loved, and who faced life with resilience and compassion. Her courage was evident even in her final moments, as she acted to protect a loved one in the face of danger. That selfless act speaks volumes about the kind of person Noel was — brave, devoted, and deeply caring.
Her family now carries the unimaginable weight of losing a daughter, a sister, and a cherished relative. Friends mourn the loss of someone who brought warmth, laughter, and loyalty into their lives. The Kapolei community, too, feels the impact of her absence, as neighbors come together to offer support, comfort, and solidarity during this painful time.
Domestic violence leaves scars that ripple far beyond a single moment. It shatters families, wounds communities, and steals futures. In remembering Noel, there is also a call to stand together — to support survivors, to advocate for safety, and to ensure that no one faces danger alone. Her life, though tragically cut short, can inspire awareness, compassion, and action.
Noel Lono will not be remembered solely for the violence that took her life, but for the love she gave and the courage she showed. Her spirit lives on in the hearts of those who knew her best, in the stories they share, and in the enduring bond of family that she cherished so deeply.
In loving memory of Noel Lono — may her soul rest in peace. May her family find comfort in the strength of community and in the knowledge that her bravery and love will never be forgotten. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
