HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – What was supposed to be a long-awaited family fishing trip in Alaska ended in tragedy when a charter boat capsized.
Two fishing boats carrying eight family members left on May 28, but only one boat came back.
Among those killed in the capsized vessel were a couple from Waipahu ― Maury Agcaoili and wife Danielle Agcaoili ― and Brandi Tyau, who was born and raised on Oahu and is Danielle’s sister.
Tyau’s husband, Robert Solis, was also on the same boat, but he remains missing along with the captain, Morgan Robidou.
Loved ones are honoring the victims lost and are working to help the children they left behind.
Tyau and Solis were remembered for their kindness and love for family.
“She was known as a wonderful mother and wife devoting her life to those she loved. She had the most beautiful smile and was kind to everyone. A true angel here on earth,” loved ones said about Tyau.
They added that Solis “served honorably in the Navy, where he was a deep-sea diver. He loved playing instruments and writing songs, surfing, diving, fishing and hunting.”
The two have a son, Noah, who just started college at the University of Oregon. Their family set up a GoFundMe to help carry on their dream of continuing to send their son to college as well as to offset memorial and funeral costs.
Solis also has three more sons, Gage, Jake and Cody, who are still reeling from the tragedy and are trying to understand how something like this could happen.
The Agcaoilis have two children, Jarek and Jessika. Those who knew the couple have banded together to help out their family and are hosting a meal rotation.
In a final update, Alaska State Troopers said the sunken charter vessel has been successfully salvaged and returned to Sitka.
An investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard surrounding the sinking of the vessel remains ongoing.

Police on the Hawaiian island of Maui on Thursday said they were investigating the discovery of a dead body in the wheel well of a United Airlines jet that arrived from Chicago.
Flight operator United Airlines said the area of the Boeing 787-10 was only accessible from the outside of the aircraft, adding that it was unclear how the deceased individual had gained access.
What we know so far
The body was found in one of the compartments housing the airplane’s landing gear after United Flight 202 from Chicago O’Hare International Airport landed at Kahului Airport.
“The wheel well was only accessible from outside of the aircraft. At this time, it is not clear how or when the person accessed the wheel well,” the airline said.
The Maui Police Department said it was “actively investigating” the grim discovery, but shared no further information.
Stowaways sometimes hide in the unpressurized wheel-houses of planes, or inside cargo holds, and can face temperatures of between minus 50 degrees and minus 60 degrees Celsius (minus 58 and minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit).
They also face the problem of a lack of oxygen when the plane is at altitude. The fatality rate is high for most of those who hide in wheel wells, but some people survive the journey.
Last year, a stowaway was discovered in the undercarriage bay of an Algerian carrier’s aircraft in Paris.
A person was also discovered alive in the wheel section of a Cargolux freight plane at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, which had traveled from South Africa via Kenya.
