It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Nicholas Kaleo-O-Alii Liegl on December 10, 2024 at the age of 41.

Nick was born in Eureka on January 4, 1983 to father Dan Liegl and mother Janice Kahoalii Pettit.

Nick leaves a huge hole in the hearts of his friends and family, who were always entertained by his stories and hilarious sense of humor.

Nick graduated from Eureka High school in 2000 and furthered his education attending College of the Redwoods as a Auto Technician. You could always find him working on his cars and making sure his cars are washed, polished and his rims shine.

Nick is preceded in death by his grandparents Joseph and Katherine Kahoalii, and Uncle’s Joe and Jay Kahoalii, who he loved dearly.

Nick is survived by his only son, Joseph Napua Liegl; his brother, Daniel Liegl; sister, Teara Buckmaster; nieces Lalia, Kenya, Neiva, Daniela, Delicia and nephew Daniel (Junior) Liegl. He will truly be missed by his uncles, aunties and cousins, who are too many to mention.

Family is having a celebration of life on January 4, 2025 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Eureka Women’s Club on J Street. We are doing a pot luck for all to enjoy.
