I´m heartbroken! I got to meet this precious man and I enjoyed our time together singing and dancing at a little outdoor cafe in Hawaii! He was definitely a delight to be around and was THE SAME person as he was in the Hawaii Five-0 shows. I am thankful I had the honor to have met him. Sad to hear about his death for I didn´t know until tonight. I will see him again one day in Gods land. For now, rest easy friend!

I did not know Taylor personally, but he was a friend and classmate to my brother. When I let him know of my brother's passing, he was kind enough to send a sweet message for me and my family. He never forgot who he was or where he came from. A true Red Raider!! My heartfelt sympathies to Halona and the rest of the Wily Ohana. Aloha O'e, until we meet again.

Getting introduced to Fish Tacos, is probably one of my favorite memories. His brashness, sense of humor. He really helped to make the series a success.

Celebrating the life of Taylor Wily was a former UFC fighter and a sumo wrestler who became an actor best for starting in television shows like "Hawaii Five-0," " MacGyver," and "Magnum P.I." We are all mourning the loss as he was be missed, yet never be forgotten by everyone who saw him on TV. Also, Taylor made an appearance on Magnum PI that he played Kamekona Tupuola Episodes from 2018-2024. We all that he is in a good place now, has reunited with the people that he wrestled with, acting to. May he be eternal peace, his souls is refreshed as the Lord gives them strength, the heavenly angels will be watching over him .

I am so saddened to hear of Taylor Will's passing. Absolutely brilliant in the role of Shrimp Man on Hawaii 5-0. Brought a lot of depth to a character who might otherwise have been a cheesy token Samoan cast member. My sincerest condolences to his wife and children.

My name is Nancy in California. I love watching Hawaii 50 all day on Friday on Cozi. I loved to watch Kamekona, and was always looking for him on the screen. Kono and Danny and Steve always lit up when they appeared with Kamekona and his Shrimp truck! I just loved watching him in the series, he helped make Hawaii 50. I have been to Hawaii 2 times, I have the islands in my heart, and Kamekona portrayed Hawaii and a true Hawaiian, as being Samoan, which Samoa is part of the Hawaiian Island chain. My sincere sympathy to Taylor´s family, friends, and all Hawaii 50 stars and staff. Aloha, Nancy
