Beth Chapman's Family Will Hold 'Hawaiian Style' Memorial in Waikiki

Beth Chapman‘s family is paying tribute to her with a “true Hawaiian style” service.

Dog the Bounty Hunter‘s late wife – who sadly passed away earlier this week at the age of 51 after battling throat cancer – will be honored with an oceanfront gathering at Fort DeRussy Beach on Saturday (June 29) at 2 p.m. in Waikiki, Hawaii.

Cecily and Lyssa Chapman invite the public to join the Chapman ʻOhana (family) for a gathering to honor Beth Chapmanʻs life,” a rep for the family told People. “Beth had two homes — Hawai’i and Colorado. ‘I love Hawai’i the most,’ she said, so she will be sent off in true Hawaiian style, with aloha.”

Beth Chapman will receive a “Hawaiian ʻOli (chant), prayer, followed by a paddle out with family and friends.”

Guests are “asked to bring ocean-friendly loose flowers, and please no leis (the strings can be harmful to ocean life).”

“Those wishing to post photos and videos are asked to tag with #alohaoemrsdog,” the rep added. “‘Oe means ‘you’ in Hawaiian. It is customary to say, ‘Aloha ‘Oe’ especially when saying farewell. There is a song by the same name, which Hawaiians often sing at the end of a party, funerals, or when people are leaving the islands.”

Dog the Bounty Hunter is also “finalizing plans for a memorial service in Colorado, and details will be announced shortly.”

Dog the Bounty Hunter Tearfully Reveals Wife Beth's Final Words

Dog the Bounty Hunter is opening up about the death of his wife Beth.

Shortly after he announced that Beth had lost her battle with cancer, the 66-year-old reality star – whose real name is Duane Chapman – and two of his daughters spoke with the media waiting outside of his house on Wednesday (June 26) in Honolulu, Hawaii.

“It’s terrible, the most terrible time in someone’s life,” Duane shared with Hawaii News Now. “You kind of try to remember that you’re celebrating life, but right now we’re mourning the death, so it’s not good.”

Duane then opened up about the emotional day – and revealed that Beth‘s final words were about making sure her family would be okay.

“When she had an attack I didn’t know anything to do but to say ‘in Jesus’ name’ and hold her and when I said ‘in Jesus’ name’ she said, ‘Say it again, say it more,’” Duane tearfully shared. “And then she told the girls and everybody, with her mouth — she came out of it a couple times — ‘I love you’ and ‘Are you guys all okay? Don’t worry,’ but she never accepted it.”

Duane continued: “I loved her so much. “As Lazarus lay, Jesus said he’s not dead, he’s sleepeth. My final words are Beth isn’t dead, she’s sleeping.”

Beth was first diagnosed with stage 2 throat cancer in 2017, and was cancer free for months but it returned in November of 2018.

Our thoughts are with the Chapman family during this time.

Beth Chapman's Daughter Mourns Loss of Mom After Cancer Battle

Beth and Duane Chapman‘s daughter, Bonnie, is paying tribute to her mom after her death at the age of 51 on Wednesday (June 26).

The Dog the Bounty Hunter reality star lost her battle with cancer after being placed in a medically induced coma.

“Love you forever mom. You’ve got a halo now,” Bonnie, 20, tweeted after her mom passed. “I’ll never forget you, mama. You were such a strong woman, and you taught me to always be strong. You were strong for everyone, and you taught me it’s okay to let go.”

She also added, “For those talking sh*t about my mother after her death, shame on you. My mother was a person and doesn’t deserve to be degraded because of ANY of her or my father’s past. My mother fought for women’s rights and was the kindest woman.”

“I’d never thought I’d lose my mom at 20. I told her I thought she had a couple years left, but in her eyes she disagreed,” she added in her tribute.
