Clayton Hung Tuck Yoshiwo Sui

Clayton Hung Tuck Yoshiwo Sui of Lihue passed away on December 19, 2023 at the age of 63. He was born in Honolulu on May 6, 1960 and raised there, never expecting to live on Kauai, an island he grew to love. Clayton served as a chaplain for 26 years at Kauai Community Correctional Center.

He is preceded in passing by his parents Thomas and Edna Sui; and his siblings, Leroy Sui and Glenice Yoneda.

Clayton is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Michelle Sui; his devoted children Zachary Sui and Rachel (Joshua) Sui; brother Colburn (Chong Ha) Sui, sister Valvia (Bill) McCormack.

Clayton put his heart and soul into his ministry at KCCC. He was a wise, thoughtful, and dedicated servant of Christ. He succeeded in turning around for the good the lives of many inmates.

Clayton released prisoners from the darkness, and in serving the least and the outcast at KCCC did it all for Jesus [Isaiah 61:1-3, Matthew 25:40]. At the front of his Bible Clayton placed Hebrews 13:3 [Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison]. Clayton and Shelly viewed all they ministered to as their own children.

Clayton fed his blue-ribbon chili to multitudes across Kauai and around the world.

A celebration of life will held at 11:00 AM, on Saturday, January 20th, 2024 at Kalaheo Missionary Church, 4480 Hokua Road, Kalaheo, HI. The family requests that all attending wear Dallas Cowboy grey and blue colors.
