"The loss is immeasurable. But also immeasurable is the love left behind" - Felicia Moran
Warren “Butch” Ah Loo passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully, on March 10, 2015 in Mililani, Hawaii. He would have been 68 on March 26.
Warren was born to Arthur and Helen Ah Loo on March 26th, 1947 in Honolulu, HI. In his earlier years, he attended high school at the Kamehameha Schools, after which point he left the Islands and furthered his education, graduating from Iowa State University in 1969 with a degree in Industrial Engineering, and later receiving an MBA at University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1972. He married Connie Lee Rhodes, whom he met at a work Christmas party in 1971. While relocating between Hawaii and Virginia before finally settling back to his home on Oahu, Warren worked for the Navy as an industrial engineer, spanning a highly accomplished career of 35 years. Over the course of nine years, the couple welcomed three children into their home and Warren set about teaching them the true value of hard work, discipline, and perhaps most importantly, never sweating the small (or large) stuff. His children remember him as an unconditionally kind father and member of the community who aspire them by his example, always striving for integrity and excellence in all they do.
Warren was accomplished at business and as an entrepreneur. After retiring from the Navy, he started his own company, Na Ali’i Consulting, which is now one of the leaders in Federal environmental remediation and information technology facilitation innovation. He was a individual with quiet strength, love and resolve, who cherished the Native Hawaiian community and who was passionate about improving and elevating its people and legacy. He was an active and dedicated member of the Mormon Church and often volunteered at numerous community events, taking time out of his consistently busy life and work schedule offering help wherever he could.
Warren is survived by his wife, Connie; daughters, Cariann and Lindsay (Aulani); son, Austin; brothers, Howard, Sam, Pat, and Henry; and sisters, Joy, Faith and Hope. He is preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Helen; and brothers, Arthur Jr., and Dexter, who died in infancy.
A memorial service is scheduled for March 26th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in Mililani, with a life celebration reception to follow. Bishop Nau will officiate the ceremony.

In a lucky life you have great family, a few close friends, and maybe a mentor or two who helped shepherd you into the adult world. I lost that mentor, and friend, Warren, unexpectedly on March 10. He was my boss for the 8 years I lived in Hawaii, and a friend ever since. I was one of many, many folks Warren mentored over the years, and one of his many, many friends. I find some joy that in a long phone call the Friday before Warren passed, we spoke more of kids and family than business. Rest in Peace, Warren.

It has been an absolute honor to call Warren Ah Loo my friend. I first met Warren while serving my church mission in Hawaii between June 2002-2004. The day I met Warren my missionary companion and I were out knocking on doors in Mililani. We had been out all morning and were about to turn back and go to our apartment off of Meheula and Kamehameha Highway for lunch. However, something told us to keep going (which I feel was the Holy Spirit). As we did, we knocked on Warren and Connie’s door. Warren answered the door and was very kind to us. We told him that we were missionaries of the church and wanted to share a message of Jesus Christ and his plan for us. He was doing some yard work at the time, but invited us to come back later which we did. Over the course of a few months Warren listened to us as we shared messages about the restored church of Jesus Christ. As an analytical man being an engineer, he had several questions for us which we tried our best to answer. What impressed me most about Warren in regard to investigating the church was how much he was willing to read the scriptures and other gospel material we gave him. He also attended his church meetings where he was able to become acquainted with his fellow neighbors in the Mililani area. In doing so, he was able to come to a greater knowledge of the Savior and had the desire to be baptized and become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was called by the Lord to serve in many different capacities in the church and did it faithfully.
Meeting Warren was one of the greatest moments of my mission. Shortly after I completed my mission he asked me to be his escort as he entered the Holy temple for the first time. I cherish that day and remember it like it was yesterday. Warren attended the temple regularly and from what I was told was on his way to the temple before he passed away.
Warren Ah Loo will be remembered by me as a man of God who loved his family dearly. He was always in the service of others. I know his spirit continues to live on and will always be blessing the lives of others. My wife and I visited Oahu about two years ago. It was so fun to be able to go to church with him and all the other wonderful brothers and sisters in the Mililani area. The night before we left to go back home, Warren invited us to attend dinner with he and Connie at Assagio’s. This was the last time I was able to see him. As we ate dinner and got to know each other even more, what stood out to me was his love for Connie and his kids. They were his pride and joy.
Thank you Warren for your friendship and example. See you on the other side of the veil my good friend!!
Much Aloha,
Corey Baird
