Early life
Andrew Koenig was born on August 17, 1968, the son of Star Trek actor Walter Koenig and Judy Levitt.
Harlan Ellison discussed the young Koenig, who was given his first name, Josh, as the inspiration for his story "Jeffty Is Five."
The story continued to win the 1977 Nebula Award and the 1978 Hugo Award for Best Short Story.
Personal life
Koenig was a vital part of the nonviolent direct action group in Venice Beach that concentrated on environmental security in the 1990s. As part of the United States Campaign for Burma, Koenig, a vegan, traveled to Burma in July 2007 and visited Burmese refugee camps in Thailand with his father. During the 119th Tournament of Roses in Burma, China, he protested the Communist Party of China's political and financial assistance of the military dictatorship, according to parade officials, he marched in front of a Chinese flag supporting the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Koenig, who was wearing a banner reading "China: Free Burma" in both English and Chinese, was arrested and detained briefly for a brief period of civil disobedience. Bill Paparian, a fellow activist and former mayor of Pasadena, was Koenig's defense attorney.
"China serves on the United Nations Security Council, and they have declined to condemn Burma." China imports gas from Burma and sells them weapons used by the military on Burmese people. So they are really complicit, and that was the whole point of opposing the China float," Koenig said. Of the IPO, Koenig commented on the Chinese government's implicit support of the genocide in Sudan, sweatshops, and contaminated export products, saying, "China is putting on a good show because of the Olympics, but the Chinese government must not only change their appearance, but change the way they do things." "They have completely blocked their free expression rights," Koenig said in the Pasadena Weekly. We need to continue to support and enforce our laws as a nation with a Constitution and a Bill of Rights, and [use it to] recognize human rights all around the world."
Koenig was last seen in Vancouver, British Columbia, on February 14, 2010, but he missed a scheduled flight on February 16, the last day he used his cellphone or conducted any banking. A group of friends and relatives discovered him dead in Vancouver's Stanley Park on February 25, after he had obviously hanged himself.
