On the late afternoon of July 11, 2008, we lost a talented photographer, acclaimed filmmaker, dedicated father, outstanding member of our community, and longtime friend.  Sergio Goes was free diving off of Waikiki, a hobby he recently picked-up while working on a photo assignment. With his love of nature, his adventurous spirit and his creative drive, you could often hear him say, “Lucky we live Hawaii.”

The response from friends and the community have been tremendously kind and comforting. Thank you all for your messages of condolence.

A memorial will be held to scatter ashes at Kaimana Beach on Saturday, July 19th at 7:00 AM. Please join us on the beach, paddle or swim out and bid farewell to our friend.

Next month the Goes family from Brazil will be in town for Sergio’s ”Celebration of Life”, which will also be a fundraiser for his son Gabriel. Details to come.

Cards and condolences can be mailed to Andrea Torres, 1260B Saint Louis Drive, Honolulu, HI 96816

Please feel free to pass this information forward to friends of Sergio.

** The family request that television crews please respect the privacy of this memorial. Media filming is NOT welcome.
