Today marks two years since the passing of Ikona, A Modern Day Hawaiian Legend. The grief that I felt after Ikona’s passing was like nothing I had experienced before. To this day, the slightest thoughts of this young man sends tears of intense emotion running down my cheeks.

When grieving Ikona’s death, I so often think “why him, such a noble young man?” 

But then I find my breath, and think of what Ikona would want me to feel and how he would like me to experience his death. And then my system begins to feel better, stronger, and even inspired. The answer to my grief begins to resonate within me.

Ikonas death has helped me to become a better man, more aware of so many of his legendary attributes within me. Now when I think of Ikona, I intensely feel his honor, integrity, dedication, commitment, inspiration, leadership and legacy - and I act accordingly. His life and now death has served as a clear message that it is our kuleana, our responsibility to take care of the land and each other. I feel his flame deep inside me, as I imagine many others do that had the great fortune of knowing him. The rippling effect has unquestionably been a positive and inspiring awakening for us all.

For he planted more medicine at Kauai Farmacy than one can even imagine. Thousands of comfrey, lemongrass, sissoo spinach, self-heal and laukahi ground covers, banana circles with compost centers, full-fledge medicinal food forests, as well as hundreds of māmaki, ‘awa (kava), kō (sugar cane), ‘olena (turmeric), ‘uala (sweet potato), cacao, kukui, noni, kalo, and papaya plants, just to name a few. The guild planting systems that he designed and built with the collective are brilliant pieces of regenerative and functional art for the permaculture farming students around the world to study and replicate again and again.

So much love and prayer to his ohana. Thank you Ikona. You are forever are leader as your energy resides all around us in these gardens. Your way will forever inspire our mission. It is our honor to uphold your legacy.
