I remember when my Uncle and cousins used to be stationed all over and every time they came back, we always went to visit. Uncle Mike made the bomb pickle mango. My favorite school breaks were spent at their house. KBay, Maili, I loved staying with them. Rest In Love Uncle Mike...to my cousins, stay strong...I love you all!!!

Dearest Daddy,
I sure hope that you enjoyed the service we had in your honor. It was so amazing. You had so many people there to celebrate you and all your accomplishments and you looked so handsome in your dress blues. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you. I am certain that you are in heaven with Mama and Papa. I know how much you've missed them. Even though you are no longer here physically, I feel your presence often. I know that you are watching over us. Just know that Ray misses you terribly. He was counting on you to help him in the yard and to have a beer standing around the island like old times. Just be sure to have a cold one ready for him whenever God needs him back. Please continue to help guide Darian along the right path. He just wants to make you proud! I love you so much. I am so proud to be your daughter. You will always be in my heart. Missing you every minute of every day. Until we meet again...

Mike, thanks for accepting me with open arms and entrusting me with the responsibility of looking after one of your most treasured possessions. Words cannot describe the impact you have had on my life, and how your words of wisdom has continued to inspire me to be a better man.  I know that you're not here physically with us anymore but we feel your presence in everything we do. Continue to watch over us from up high and just know that you are truly missed.  Until we meet again Semper Fi.

Rest in Peace Uncle Mike, thank you for the memories growing up. I will always remember you Uncle. I will miss the smart comments you make lol that crazy Dias sense of humor. I love you Uncle. Kiss Papa, Grandma, Aunty Donna and Kev for me. Fly high with the Angels!!!!!

Dear Papa, 
I'm so thankful for everything you have done for me over the past 23 years. It's kinda still unreal to think that you're gone, when just last year you picked me up at the airport and we began this last ride together. When I first got to the towers you began making arrangements for me off the bat. Grocery shopping and just making sure I had essentials for everyday life. I remember we went to get my license the first time and the tire blew out. But we got it taken care of right away and proceeded to Koolau. We have so many memories. And I will cherish every last one of them. I'm glad I decided to leave Vegas and start my life back home. Now I know what I gotta do to make you proud. If I could just press a rewind button, I would do it all over again. Thank you papa. I love you and miss you. 
Love Darian Anthony Dias.

"Families can be together forever".
-forever in our hearts and memories. Love you uncle mike

Uncle,
I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet you and share some laughs with you! These last few months I was blessed to be able to come and see you in the hospital and pray with you and your family! You're no longer suffering and now you are in heaven partying with our heavenly father and that is amazing. I know your family and friends are sad, but I pray in time their hearts will be healed. You raised an amazing daughter and i'm thankful that she is my friend and I will look out for her for you! Rest in peace!

Rip grandpa even though I didn't know you well you will be missed. I love you.

You were a good men for The time that I did know you and it sad that you are gone but you will never be forgotten rest in Paradise

I just want to send out my blessings to the family  as we treat this matter as a going home celebration

Papa,

How I wish I could wake up and this be a dream, although I know your not in pain anymore, I wish you could  have gotten the chance to meet your great granddaughters. Oh how much you would have loved them. You are in a better place, just know there will never be a day that goes by that I wont think about you. I love you beyond words can explain. Rest easy my beautiful angel.

Mr Dias,
     
     Regrettably I write this to you with never having the luxury of meeting you face to face. It saddens me we never got the opportunity to share our military days with one another or talk about your amazing daughter! As the last 12 years have past I have heard much of you and the type of man you were. You were a man with his faults, but a man of honor over anything else. A big hearted man with lots of love, yet at times reserved. As the last week has passed I have come to hear many of stories of you and the man you were. I have concluded that despite us never meeting, you and I were at times quite alike. I am honored to be thought in such a way to be in a category with you. As for your daughter, Tara...I only hope this letter of promise finds you in your new life. That I will do what ever humanly possible to care, love, appreciate, and enjoy your daughter until I finally meet you.

Your son-in-law,

Monika is a very loving character  I've known her since 7th grade so I felt her pain and frustration when she found out the bad news. I know Anthony lived happy and was proud of his families accomplishments so I know he is looking down from heaven with a smile on his face. Rest  in paradise Anthony Michael Dias gone but never forgotten .

I'm Armon King (J'liyah's bestfriend), I didn't get the chance to meet her grandpa but I  wish I could've. I could tell he was a great man by all the stories her and the rest of the family I have met told about him. He did everything in his power to keep the family happy I know that very much. I love this family like their my own and that won't change. Long Live ANTHONY DIAS. Gone BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PARADISE.

Papa,

You don't know me (I'm your grandson) but thank you for giving me the Best Mom! I love and miss you!

Papa,

I wish I got to meet you before you went to heaven. I'm glad you're not in pain anymore. Please watch over me and help me make good choices in my life. I love and miss you!

Hi I'm Monie friend I dident know him but I heard that he was a really good man!

You are FOREVER in my Heart I Love You Always Papa ❤

Dad,
I was blessed to spend 4 hours with you before you were no longer responsive. I was blessed to hold you as you take your last breath, but I breaks my heart that you, grandma, and papa all passed around my birthday. I wish you were here, I wish I could talk to you, I wish I could hug you or kiss you. I want to see your face again. I love you dad. You were here in Vegas for me when I had no one. Dad I hope you are loving it being in heaven. I'm so happy you are pain-free. Rest in Love dad. You will forever be in my heart.

Sending our sympathy and love to all the family.  Prayers for continued strength in the days ahead.  Thank you for sharing photos to view of such wonderful memories.  During the hard days always remember those moments and know his love is forever in your heart.  God Bless your family.  Gary & Cathy T.  (Tara's mom/dad in laws)

I didn't know him personally, but I know he had to be a great man because he raised and outstanding son! Rest in Heaven.

Dad,

I wish I had a better chance to say goodbye to you. If I knew that would be the last time I would talk to you, I would have talked until the plane pulled away. I know that you tried to hold on. I know that you're watching over me and my kids. Alexus and Lincoln wanted to FaceTime with you when I got to Hawaii. I know that's not how you would have wanted them to see you. Just know that I will not let them forget who you are. Now that you're not longer in pain, Rest In Peace and Know You Will Always Be Loved!! We Love & Miss You Dad!!

Dearest Daddy,
There are no words to express the emptiness that I feel in my heart. There were so many things that we planned to do still! I am so blessed to have been here for you while you fought the cancer. I was so amazed at the progress you were making. I think that's why I found it so hard to say goodbye. You were getting stronger by the day and then you had that major setback. My life will not be the same without you here but I know for a fact that you are still with me in spirit! I love you to the moon and back and can't wait for the day we are all reunited once again! Missing you like crazy!!
