“The impact we’ve made together in Tre’s memory is a testament to the power of community and the enduring spirit of aloha,” said Chelsie Evans Enos, Tre’s Mom and founder of the Live Like Tre’ Foundation. “We miss him every second. He deserves his story to inspire others to be kinder and to spark small acts of kindness. His legacy lives on in those who honor his memory in these ways.”
The Live Like Tre’ Foundation received a $150,000 donation from the Maui Strong Fund of the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation, and will use the funds to provide grants in the amount of $7,100 each to support Maui firefighters who have been personally affected by the recent wildfires.
The Maui Fire Department joined Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen, members of the Maui Police Department, Kahului Airport Crash Rescue, other responders and fire personnel from around the state and the nation in saying a final farewell in honor of the life and service of fallen firefighter Tre’ Evans-Dumaran. Fire Fighter Evans-Dumaran’s ʻohana has set up a foundation to honor his life and service. They are hosting the first of their “Live like Tre’” days this Sunday, May 14 at the Hannibal Tavares Community Center in Pukalani beginning at 10 a.m.
