Friday, March 23, 2018, Wayne Hokanson, my beloved husband and best friend, father of my two daughters, Kati and Karie, passed away from a heart attack, here at our home in San Jose. He is home with the Lord, with his parents, and all our friends and family who have gone before him. Our family is still in shock and we will be grieving this tragic loss for quite some time.

"I remember when I was a child I would ride my bike to see Karen & Wayne and just visit them. Wayne was like a father to me. He made the best chili ever. Wayne will be missed, but never forgotten. Thank you Wayne for your service at church and being a firefighter."
- John Rainville
"We are so sorry for your loss. We will be there for Karen during this difficult time. We will be making a donation to the Lick Observatory in honor of Wayne."
- Kathleen Kelley
“Karen & Family,
It’s been so long but yet the fond memories of Lockheed seem like yesterday. One thing that could always be counted on was Wayne’s smile. We’ll all truly miss him know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Peace in Christ”
