Loving Dad, Papa, Son, Brother, Uncle, Friend, and Veteran Alan Emilio Bergado, age 70, passed away on Sept. 19, 2022 at home in Lahaina, HI. He was predeceased by his parents, Emilio Bergado, Priscilla and Sonnie Waiohu; and his sister, Esmenia Lee Ann Bergado.

Alan was born on March 17, 1952 in Wailuku, HI and grew up in Waikapu, HI. When he was young, he enjoyed surfing at Honolua, Olowalu, and Flemings Beach. He graduated from Baldwin High School in 1970 and joined the United States Navy, which he distinguishly served for four years active and two years in the Reserves. He served in the Vietnam War and was wounded in combat. Alan was a natural leader and enjoyed his career as a Journeyman Welder at Pioneer Mill Co. and Maintenance Director at The Valley Isle Resort and Kapalua Resort. He was well-known for his quality work as a welder and acquired several side welding jobs with local Lahaina Businesses. Also, while employed at Pioneer Mill Co., Alan created and mounted the two illuminated stars on top of the smokestack, which was lit every Christmas Season for the community to enjoy.

During his free time, Alan enjoyed fishing, cooking, golfing, listening to oldies or Hawaiian music, and fixing or building anything you can think of from cars to household appliances or furniture. Alan was a car enthusiast and loved spending quality time with his family and friends, especially his daughters, grandchildren, and fur baby Maya Papaya. Alan worked very hard to support his family and many others in times of need. He was known for his ono cooking; fun, loving, and well-rounded personality; and especially taking the shirt off his back for those he loved; which is why he is loved by so many near and far.

To honor Alan’s memory, we are holding a celebration of life on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, at Nakamura’s Mortuary in Wailuku, HI.
