He was born on June 8, 1967 in Mpls., MN. to Darren and Phyllis Hauglid. Kai enjoyed selling real estate most of his adult life. He had a passion for many things including, but not limited to: walking, cooking, hunting, shopping, art, music, tennis, exploring new things, new places, and traveling to particular areas he enjoyed. He loved ALL people and touched many lives while he was here. Kai will be missed by most of those that knew and loved him. Early on, he spent 23 years of his life with Theresa (Farinella) Hauglid of Circle Pines, MN.

He is also survived by his loving parents Darren and Phyllis Hauglid, both of Minnesota, two sisters: Kimberly Rose (Robert) of Carroll Plantation, ME, Kea Marie (Christian) Goodman of Floyds Knobs, IN, six nieces, two nephews, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. “Special thanks” to the mgmt. and staff of Dolphin Lake Point Enclave Apartments, hospice staff, and friends, some of which we know and don’t know that extended their love and care to him as he clung to the life he loved in Iowa. Direct cremation was chosen.
