Kernal Rehobson, a transplanted South Pacific islander, found life in Southwest Missouri almost like island living.
The 43-year-old married father of four children told the Globe six years ago that he had found a similar "sense of peace here."
That sense of peace was tragically disrupted Sunday when Rehobson and two other transplanted islanders lost their lives, and four people were wounded, in a shooting rampage inside a church in Neosho. The alleged shooter is a fellow islander.
Kelson Rehobson, a brother of Kernal and a nephew of Intenson Rehobson, another of the shooting victims, said Monday that his family is hurting from the losses. The uncle left behind a wife and two children.
"We're not doing too well," Kelson Rehobson said. "We're going to miss them."
