In Loving Memory /2nd Anniversary

Two years ago, you quietly stepped into eternity, yet not a day passes without your memory lighting our path. You were far more than any title could ever express: a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, a faithful servant of God, a true shepherd to your flock and the heart of our family. You lived gently, yet with great strength. You spoke softly, yet with deep wisdom. You served humbly, yet your impact endures.

Your prayers still echo in our hearts. Your legacy continues to guide and inspire us. Your life was a sermon, not preached from the pulpit alone, but lived out in faith, kindness, and grace. Though we miss you dearly, we find comfort in knowing you now rest in the arms of the One you served so faithfully. As William Shakespeare so beautifully wrote: “And when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night.”

You are deeply missed. You are deeply loved. You are forever ours. Forever loved by your devoted wife Grace Karoki, loving children Joseph Ngugi & Esther, Sylvia Nyambura, Eunice Mumbi, Edward Gachihi, and Alex Muriithi,your grandchildren Precious,Amber, Kelsie, Karoki, and Alexander.

Your memory lives on, forever in our hearts — from your loving family, “For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.” — I Thessalonians 4:14
