The family of Kale David Akau is grieving an unimaginable loss after the young father tragically died by suicide following a battle with depression.
Kale had been reported missing for nearly two weeks before he was found and rushed to the hospital. Despite the love, prayers, and tireless efforts of medical professionals, Kale had suffered a devastating anoxic brain injury. His family made the painful decision to compassionately transition him from life support, as his injuries were irreversible.
A Loving Father, A Kind Soul
Kale was more than his struggles — he was a loving father of three beautiful children, a devoted friend, and a kind-hearted soul whose presence touched everyone around him. His children were the center of his world, and those who knew him say he brought laughter, warmth, and love to their lives.
His sudden death has left his family and community reeling, struggling to process the heartbreak of losing him far too soon.
