Just to clarify, the CSM marines wargear allows one model to take an icon. This is model-specific, and can't be given to another model if the designated model is removed as a casualty, correct?

Additionally, the aspiring champion can take said icon, correct?

Had a short debate with another player on this and I'm looking for validation.

Yes and yes.

Part 1 there are no rules allowing a model to give away his gear.

Part 2 the rule says any model may take the Icon.

Correct on both counts. If you remove the model with the Icon as a casualty, you lose the icon. Because the Icon can be given to any "model" as opposed to a "Chaos Space Marine", any model in the unit can take the icon.
