Nameless shared the heartbreaking news on social media with a heartfelt tribute:
“Rest well, Daddy 💔❤️. I am beyond blessed to have had you as a father! #WithTheAngels”
His wife, Wahu Kagwi, also honored her late father-in-law, whom she lovingly called “Dad-in-love”:
“My wonderful father-in-love, thank you for welcoming me into your home with open arms. Thank you for the love, warmth, and everything you were. You were an incredible father and grandfather—kind, strong, and deeply loved. Rest with the angels, Dad. You will always live in our hearts. 🤍🕊️🤍💔🙏🏾😔”
Just a few months ago, in December 2024, Nameless celebrated his parents’ 60th wedding anniversary, sharing:
“Came home to celebrate 60 years of marriage with my parents! Happy anniversary, Daddy and Mummy! My forever role models. Thank you for showing us the way! #60YearsOfLove&Friendship #MyFoundation”
In April 2024, Nameless marked his father’s 88th birthday with a moving reflection on their bond:
“Hung out with Dad on his 88th birthday and couldn’t help but feel so grateful for Mum and Dad’s health! Dad shared something I’ll always treasure—he sometimes sits and watches each of his kids and can’t believe he’s been blessed with such wonderful children who always stick together. That made us feel so good. He reminded us that growth in any relationship means being open to correction and learning. It was a truly special and fulfilling day. Happy birthday, Dad. You are the MAN! #GratefulMoments #Family”
