Great loss

This is to inform you that we have lost a great and dear friend. Kahu Leon Sterhng Jr. died

Apiil 4 in Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i. Leon has, was and shall always be a part of Hawai'i's leaders. His services were held April 8, at Healani Church in Kahalu'u Mauka, Kona, on Māmalahoa Highway. Please pray for his wife, Leilani Sterling, to give her the strength as he takes his journey into his new role as a Hawaiian leader. I returned to Kona from San Diego to pay respects to a great man.
