On behalf of the staff at Diamond Head Mortuary we are honored to be serving the Uekawa family but saddened to announce the passing of Mr. Ransen M. Uekawa. Arrangements have been made and will be updated as they are received from Read Obituary
I remember the first time Ransen joined the boys class at Rosalie Woodson's. He was so confident, talented and straight up cool. He was nice to everyone and picked up dance so well. I never forgot about him when he stopped coming. My condolences to his family.

I remember when he wanted me to meet his really good friend Lloyd
That’s when we went to the house on McCully where you guys was living at that time
The other time was at Grandmas house in Aiea when I was training them I showed him wrist lock move and wanted them to get the real feel of doing it
So I volunteered to be his attacker
While trying to make it as real as possible I made a move he reacted and he flew me into the washing machine! He didn’t think he did it for real thinking I exaggerated? Because he was smaller than me?But I always told them in training techniques if you practice timing you’ll throw your opponents easily no matter how big they are! He did it perfectly cause I met the washer !!!
You was always good at what you did!
RIL my dear friend 🙏❤️

I have a good one. Some years back, when Ransen and Don were still in high school, I bought a video camera. I took it to work one day to video a drill we were doing, and I just grabbed one of my tapes on the way out the door. Anyway, after the drill I hooked the camera up to the tv to watch what we just did, and the first images were of Ransen, smiling, making a shaka sign with one hand, and holding a beer with the other, lol. Then don came into the picture with his beer, both of them laughing up a storm, having a good time. Ransen had a pure and kind heart. He will be truly missed and the world isn't the same without him.
