From our family to the Kagia Family,
Our deepest condolences. May the presence of the Lord be your comfort and strength as you mourn your beloved husband/father/grandfather/uncle/friend….
We loved Dr. James Kagia. While his height was not tall, he was a strong tower of faith, love, commitment and humor. He taught my children how to sing All God’s Children Got Shoes. He made me think and think again. He encouraged me and helped me when in South Africa after having major surgery. There are many memories of this great man. We are so very sorry for your loss.
With love,
Tim, Trish, Peter, Nathaniel and Maggie Manarin
Dear Mrs. Kagia and family,
Kevin and I extend heartfelt condolences to you at the passing of Mr. Kagia. We fondly remember him and the powerful prayers he shared at McLean Baptist. He was a fierce prayer warrior among his many other wonderful gifts and talents and we were blessed to be part of his life’s journey for a little while. God bless and comfort you.

Dear Ruth & Family,
We were deeply saddened by the news of Prof. Kagia (a.k.a Doctari)’s passing. He was a wonderful and loving man who inspired all who knew him.

May your years of happiness and your many good memories comfort and enable you to go through this difficult period. Please accept our deepest condolences.

Just days before the UoN ‘87 graduation ceremony, Prof Kagia and I sat on the grass near the dept of community health, UoN. We did not notice the time go by, but over four hours later, we discussed the depth and breadth of public health and why public health is crucial for population health. After several years of practising public health and clinical medicine, I formerly trained as a public health practitioner in ‘95. Over the years, I have always wanted to meet Prof Kagia again. I always wondered where he was and what he was doing. Most importantly, I wanted to tell him about my public health journey. I wanted to share the joy I have had since we first (and now, last) had the discussion. Of course, as a professor of public health, he was a witty and joyous teacher. Inspirational! I recall when he once asked the class where Micronesia was on a map? (I do not remember why – but no one knew!) I never forgot that one and many other academically provocative questions one thought were obvious. He had this mischievous smile that challenged you to learn more. He was full of wit and wisdom. Today, I finally found Prof Kagia rested in November 2020. Yes, thirty-five years later, I was still trying to look him up. For all those years, I had hoped to meet Prof Kagia again one day – here on earth. Well, now that will not be. Writing this message is cathartic as I never had the opportunity to share my public health journey with Prof Kagia. I end by noting, Prof Kagia, you inspired my public health journey, and I am most grateful for that and to have been your student. Your legacy continues.
