It is with heavy hearts and profound grief that we announce the sudden passing of our son, brother, and friend, Geoffrey (Jeff) Kanake, in Long Beach, California, USA.
Jeff was a cherished son of the late Francis Kanake Wahome and Grace Watetu Kanake.
He was a devoted and loving fiancee of Rita Muthoni Maina.
Jeff was a caring and dear brother of Soni Kanake, Isa KanakeVVairimu Kanake and Daniel Kanake.
He was an awesome brother-in-law of Dr Edgar Karanjah and Jackline Wachera Nguniiri, and a doting uncle of Jayden, Neema, and Njeri. He was a beloved nephew, cousin and friend to many.
Jeff was a beloved soul whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and joy of everyone whose lives he touched. He will be deeply missed.
