In Loving Memory of
Dr. Kituu Nyamai
January 1970 – May 2026
“Be the best wherever you are.”
A Life Well Lived
Dr. Kituu Nyamai was born in January 1970, and from the earliest days of his life, he carried within him a quiet but unmistakable sense of purpose. He grew up with the kind of steady character that would come to define his entire life — calm, gentle, and deeply committed to those around him. Those who knew him best would tell you that there was never a moment of arrogance, never a moment of unkindness — only the warm, unhurried presence of a man who genuinely cared.
Kituu pursued medicine at the University of Nairobi, Kenya, where he trained as a doctor and later specialised in Anaesthesia. It was a discipline that demanded not only technical precision but an extraordinary degree of trust — the trust of a patient placing their life, quite literally, in another’s hands. He never took that trust lightly. Over a distinguished career spanning Coast General Provincial General Hospital, Nakuru Provincial General Hospital, and ultimately Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Nairobi — where he served until his passing — Dr. Nyamai devoted himself entirely to the well-being of his patients, meeting each one with the same respect and dedication, regardless of who they were.
Beyond the walls of the hospital, Kituu’s heart reached even further. For many years, he volunteered with Operation Smile, a global medical charity that provides free surgeries to children born with cleft conditions. It was work he gave freely, driven not by recognition but by a deep, instinctive compassion for children who needed a chance at a better life. Operation Smile was not simply a cause he supported — it was a reflection of who he was.
The Man Behind the Doctor
To know Kituu was to feel immediately at ease. He had a rare quality — the kind of stillness that made the people around him feel that everything would be alright. Calm when others were anxious, composed under pressure, and always, always gentle. He never needed to raise his voice to command a room. His presence alone was enough.
His faith was central to everything. A devout Christian, Kituu lived his beliefs not in loud proclamations but in the quiet, daily choices of how he treated others — with grace, humility, and unconditional love. His personal motto, “Be the best wherever you are,” was not simply a phrase; it was the standard he held himself to, every single day, in every room he entered.
Outside of medicine, Kituu found his freedom in the outdoors. He loved to hike and climb mountains — drawn, perhaps, to the same things that defined his character: the discipline of the climb, the perspective from the summit, and the honest simplicity of standing somewhere beautiful. He loved to travel, to see the world, and to gather the kind of stories that make a life rich and full.
His Greatest Love
For all his professional achievements, it was his family that Kituu held most dear. He was a devoted father to his four beloved children — Ashley, Mitchelle, Gift, and Diana — and a proud and adoring grandfather to his granddaughter, Lyana, in whom he no doubt saw the next chapter of a family story he helped write with such love.
He is survived by his children, Ashley, Mitchelle, Gift, and Diana; his granddaughter, Lyana; his parents, Joseph and Regina Nyamai; and his siblings, Caroline, Phillip, Lillian, and Dennis. He leaves behind a heartbroken family, a profession poorer for his absence, and a community of patients and colleagues whose lives he touched in ways he may never have fully known.
Dr. Kituu Nyamai lived with quiet excellence and loved without condition.
He was, in every room he entered and in every life he touched, the very best he could be.
Rest in peace, Kituu.
