Reginald Deroos
“A kind and gentle man who made everyone laugh.”
REGINALD DEAN DEROOS, an avid surfer, fisherman, KUAI DJ/ program director artist, and loving husband to Rebecca Deroos, passed from this life on July 3rd, 2015 at his Kalaheo home.
Born in Ft. Leonardwood, Missouri, having graduated from Hilo High on the Big Island, and moving to Kauai for the big surf, Reggie became known for his winning smile and distinctively clear voice over the radio.
For 3 decades he endeared Kauai Ohana to local events and news. Reg’s art career began in the 70’s with instruction from Kauai Community College’s Mr. Lai and inspiration from the breaks he surfed and the beauty of the coastline he and his wife would kayak when fishing.
Reg was known especially for his paintings of ocean scenes and the favorite, “Koloa TreeTunnel” .
For this man, loved by all, there will be a Celebration of Life, Sunday, Aug.16, 2015 from 2-5 p.m. at Prince Kuhio Park in Poipu near Reg’s favorite surf break, “Acid Drop”.
Light refreshments, pule at 3 p.m., and a paddle out at 4 p.m. All are welcome!
