His family shared the sad news on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with a heavy heart I share that my sweet, generous, talented, funny, brilliant and handsome little brother David H. K. Bell will spend today in the company of our Heavenly Father,\u201d his sister Jalene Kanani Bell posted to\u00a0Facebook June 16<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for the words and mindset to properly express the joy of a human, and Prince of a Man he was, but fate pushed my hand this morning by a pre-scheduled Father\u2019s Day newsletter honoring the men in our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI met my little brother at the age of 18, on my high school graduation day, it was the most amazing surprise which I had been asking for for years, that our mom\u2019s made happen for us, and that gift has lasted a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWhile I didn\u2019t grow up with a Father, David gave me all the unconditional love I could possibly ask for and I believe that all his family and friends received the same from him.\u00a0 He was always so proud of me, his nieces and his grandnephew, constantly engaged and always coming up with fun activities to get-together. We looked forward to going to Tatihi and the Lindsey reunion together to create more family connections.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cDavid loved being an actor, doing voiceovers, spending time with Brutus traveling as an ambassador for Kona Brew. The film industry and entertainment was so exciting to him and I loved that he enjoyed the arts. He went to Punahou and Kalani while our dad spoke Hawaiian so his ability to deliver lines with English understanding, Indigenous knowledge and Pidgen to da Max\u2026made him a diamond in the rough \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
