Son of famed Kauai gentleman surfer Jimmy Lucas, Keoni was driving home late after work towards his Santa Monica, California home and fell asleep at the steering wheel. He passed away tragically late at night on Saturday, March 29th.
Lucas, a longtime surfer and sailboarder, was often pegged as a friendly, outgoing guy who was well respected throughout the Hawaiian surf community. He moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry and was known to be a hard worker who always had a smile on his face and lived life to the fullest.
He was camera operator for Hell's Kitchen and last night's show was dedicated to him.

R.I.P Keoni Kai Lucas-CHILD OF GOD AND MY FRIEND!! Ihave never met anyone who had the Light of God in them like Keoni. I worked with Keoni and his father Jimmy at Duke's Canoe Club for five years, after moving to Honolulu from Raleigh, NC. When I arrived I was an ignorant redneck (typical stupid "hoele boy") Keoni truly taught me about ALOHA and changed me forever, by infusing my soul with mana. He showed me a better way of living and looking at life. He taught me that it's not about taking yourself to a higher level of wealth or possesions, BUT TAKING ALL THOSE AROUND YOU TO A HIGHER LEVEL WITH FRIENDSHIP, COMPASSION, AND LOVE! ( what the Aloha Spirit is truly about). He never had a bad thing to say about anyone, and always made you happy to be in his presence. He would make you smile and laugh when you were sad, and always knew the right thing to say when you were frustrated or upset.I have never met such an inspirational man-AND I TRULY MEAN THAT. May peace be in your soul and with your family and friends. Heaven is made of souls like Keoni's, and sometimes it is right here on Earth to shine on us for a brief time. You shined on me brother and I will take you with me the rest of my life-God Bless you and thank you. I miss you! your friend Rex
