Steven Keliiaa

Steven Keliiaa, 53, died on December 23, 2024, in Albuquerque NM. A loyal husband, loving father, and caring grandfather, Steve will always be remembered for his willingness to help others, even complete strangers. Steve had a soft spot in his heart for dogs. 

Born on September 26, 1971, a Native Hawaiian, Steve loved showing his family the islands of Hawaii, particularly Kauai. He would visit the islands often and loved spending time at the ocean, whether it was fishing or boating, Steve had a love of the ocean and the serenity of being away from the city life. 

Steve married the love of his life on June 14, 2007; he was a loyal and devoted husband who was a beacon of light and security for his wife, Roxanne Keliiaa. Steve was not only a loyal husband, but was also an upstanding member of his community, whether it was giving to the homeless or helping his elderly neighbors. He was a family man above all else and would do anything for his family and friends and he will truly be missed by his friends, family, and members of his community.

Steve was survived by his wife Roxanne, his children Richie (Brandi), Joey, Kainoa (Amanda), and Shayenne (Devon), as well as his grandchildren Conner, Julian, Kaylie, Malani, Leialoha, Carly, Kamea, Kehlani. He was also survived by his sister Elizabeth, her three daughters, and his English bulldog Koa that he used as a pillow every evening. He was preceded in death by his father Robert and his mother Patricia.
