The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office has identified a Pearl City couple killed in a house fire as Cheryl Kamihara, 66, and her husband, Gordon Kamihara, 68.

The causes of death for the couple are pending.

Firefighters responded to a three-alarm fire at the single- story home at 2333 Amoomoo St. in Pacific Palisades shortly before 2:40 a.m. Feb. 2.

They brought the fire under control just after 3:15 a.m. and extinguished it at 5:42 a.m. Firefighters found the couple dead inside the home. Damage was estimated at $278,000 to the structure and $139,000 to its contents. Neighboring homes also sustained damage. Honolulu Fire Department spokesman Capt. Scot Seguirant said the fire’s cause has been classified as undetermined.

A GoFundMe account has been created to help with funeral expenses and assist the couple’s adult daughter, who also resided at the home. Those interested in making a donation can visit gofundme.com/kamihara-aloha-fund.
