Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) CEO Ezekiel Mutua is mourning the death of his father.
In a statement on Thursday, Mutua said he had lost a great friend, in his father.
He also shared a picture they previously took together saying that such evenings would not be there anymore.
He added that he is grateful for the times they shared together and will forever cherish the memories.
“Such evenings will be no more, but in everything, we give thanks and cherish the fond memories. I have lost a great friend. Go well dad,” Mutua said on Facebook.
In another post, Mutua said while not many people get to celebrate their 100th birthday, his father did and he died surrounded by his great, great-grandchildren.
He added that his father’s death is painful but he has left a rich legacy
“Not many get the privilege of reaching 100 years and depart the world surrounded by their great, great, grandchildren. Dad saw the First and the Second World War and has experienced virtually all the famines and epidemics in recorded history. As we went through the process at the Funeral Home last night, one lady family member was inconsolable.
“Other family members present cuddled up to comfort her, then it dawned on me that she was actually dad's first granddaughter and that she too has grandchildren and was the first to give my parents the pride and privilege of seeing their 4th generation. Dad's departure is painful but he has left such a rich legacy. "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away." Job 1:21:”
His father’s death comes barely two years after the death of his mother. Mutua’s mother died in February 2023.
In the message announcing her death, Mutua said his mother woke up well, took her breakfast, and sat at her favourite spot on the verandah of her house where she passed away peacefully.
