Family Tribute to Our Beloved Eric

It is with deep sorrow and love that we, the family, pay tribute to our beloved Eric, whose passing has left a void that words can hardly express. Eric was more than a family member—he was a source of strength, joy, and unwavering kindness. His gentle spirit, warm heart, and generous nature touched each of us in ways that will forever remain cherished.

Eric lived a life marked by compassion, integrity, and a quiet courage that inspired everyone around him. He carried himself with humility, yet his impact was profound. Whether through his words, his work, or his simple acts of kindness, Eric brought light into our lives and into the lives of many others.

Though we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the beautiful moments, laughter, and love we shared. We hold on to the memories that remind us of who he was—steadfast, loving, thoughtful, and deeply committed to the people he cared about.

As a family, we find comfort in knowing that Eric’s legacy will continue to shine through the values he lived by and the lives he touched. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has reached out with prayers, support, and love during this difficult time.

May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may we honor him by carrying forward the compassion and kindness he so effortlessly embodied.

Forever in our hearts.

Typing and deleting, typing and deleting… trying to decide which memory mattered most, only to realize that every encounter we ever shared was one of a kind. So many moments, so many stories, so many memories I’ll carry forever.
I remember our last drive together, when you told me, “Anto when the time is right, it will happen.” I believed you then, but it’s becoming so hard to believe now that you are no more. Was this really your time?
I remember you telling Dad that day, “Juma, it’s about now… remember, tomorrow is never a guarantee.” I’m left here thinking about how true those words were.
I’ll miss everything about you. You could blend into any generation—you could be a kuka when kukas were around, a dad, even a brother depending on the moment. No matter the audience, “uncle” was the perfect role you carried so effortlessly.
May your soul rest, and may your spirit continue to live among us.

We remember Uncle Eric with deep love and gratitude. He was a steady, kind, and generous presence in our lives—someone who cared quietly but wholeheartedly. His warmth, his guidance, and the strength of his character will always stay with us.

May Uncle Eric rest in peace, and may his memory continue to inspire and comfort all who loved him.

Eric,
We luck words to explain your significance to our live.
We pray for eternity resting.
Till we meet again

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my dad. I always talked about him to my classmates and friends. Dad you always cared. You'd always put us before everything even work. All the times you had to do your meetings from the car as you took me to or from school. The number of things we shared when we were alone. Dad I remember how you alway talked about retiring and going to play golf . Remembering that broke my heart. You've been my mentor and showed me what true love is like. I love you dad so so so so so much
I'll surely miss you. Rest in peace daddy.

I still can’t bring myself to believe that we have lost such an extraordinary life, my dear brother-in-law, Eric. Your untimely departure has left an unfillable void in our lives, but we're grateful for the memories we shared with you. I have to accept this will of God.

Your laughter, charismatic personality, and boundless energy brightened every family moments we had with you. You had stories for days, and funny ones at that, your humor lightened our encounters. But beyond the laughter and jokes, you were a very generous man, you helped me kick-start my work life journey, and I'll forever be grateful for your kindness and support. Most of us have benefited from your big heart in a way we couldn’t thank you enough. Your impact will be felt for years to come.

You were the epitome of love, guidance, and support to your children and my sister Judy. How they adorably speak of you! clearly they will cherish the memories of your love, wisdom, and support. Your legacy will live on through them, and they'll continue to make you proud.

Rest in peace, dear Eric. May your soul find eternal peace, and may we, your family, find comfort in the memories we shared with you. You'll be deeply deeply missed!!! but your extraordinary life will forever be etched in our hearts.

To my sister Judy, I'm here for you, and I'll support you through this difficult time. May the love and support of family and friends bring you comfort.

May Eric’s memory be a blessing to us all.

I will always be thankful for the great and priceless acts of humilty.
Your legacy lives on Eric.

My heart is heavy as I mourn you, Uncle Eric. You mentored me, guided me, and shaped the person I am today. I feel lost, asking myself so many questions about why you had to leave us this early. But even through the pain, I thank God for the moments we shared and the foundation you helped me build.
Since primary school in 2006, you encouraged me to pursue agriculture, even when my parents were not in support. I looked up to you, and you believed in me. After campus, you picked me up, showed me direction in the industry, and introduced me to your friends. You always checked in to see how I was doing. I was proud every time you introduced me as your son, and today, the friends you connected me with have become my own.

I will forever cherish you. The family of John Kimunguyi will deeply miss you. I promise to work hard, to carry on what you started in the industry, and to make you proud.

Rest well, Uncle. You will forever remain in my heart.😪

Will miss you brother.

Can’t believe I am writing this in your obituary.
We planned on creating brighter futures when we were kids.
Thanks for making my childhood memorable.
In sergoit you were there, I was there
In Kilimani you were there, I was there.
In bungoma you were there, I was there.
I can’t comprehend you are not there anymore. 😢
Thanks for the milestones we shared.
I think you were there for my 1st drink.
Dating is another topic for another day.
You helped me mourn my dad less than 1 month ago.
I will cherish the 3 days you came to visit October 2025.
We planned to pick up where we left when I get back to this side.

I have so many questions that I can not get an answer. I will miss you, I will continue to hold on to the memories, milestones we shared and dreams we had.

Thanks for being one of a kind. Sleep with the angels Eric until we meet again.

Still in denial that you're no more my brother,,I will always cherish our memories,,you're one special person that i will never forget,,rest with the angels,,rest in eternal peace..

Eric, my brother… today I speak to you with a heavy heart, a trembling voice, and a love that words can hardly express. Losing you has shaken me in ways I never imagined, but standing here, I choose to honor you, to speak to you as I always did—openly, honestly, and from the heart.
Eric, from the very beginning, you were more than just a sibling. You were a friend, a companion, and often, the steady voice of reason in our family. I still remember our childhood days in Sergoit—running around the homestead, sharing secrets, getting into mischief, and dreaming of the lives we would one day build. You carried those dreams with so much determination, with a quiet confidence that always inspired me.
You were born in 1976, the very first gift of the year to Mum and Dad. And truly, Eric, you lived your whole life like a gift—to your parents, to us your brothers and sisters, to your family, and to everyone who knew you. From Kilimani Primary in Turbo, to Bungoma High School, and later to university, you walked every stage of your life with purpose. You pushed yourself, sacrificed, and always aimed higher—not just for yourself, but for the people you loved.
Eric, you made all of us proud. You became a leader, a professional, a man respected across Kenya and beyond. But Eric, even with all your achievements, you never changed. You remained humble. You remained grounded. You remained that same brother who would call just to check if we were okay, who would step in silently to help, who carried burdens without complaining, and who held this family together with your wisdom and calmness.
I admired your strength, your discipline, and your kindness. You built a beautiful family, and you loved them with everything in you. You spoke about them with a joy that could fill a room. And I promise you, my brother, we will be there for them. We will stand with them. They will never walk alone.
Eric, life will never be the same without you. Your laughter, your advice, your presence, your legendary dancing style to rhumba music bisalela by franco lwambo .. the last song you danced to on 15th November 2025 at 9.30 P.M on saturday—those are things we can never replace. You leave a space that no one else can fill. But you also leave a legacy so strong, so beautiful, and so full of love. A legacy of excellence, humility, and unity.
Today, as I speak to you, I want you to know this: you were loved deeply. You were appreciated. You mattered. You made a difference in our lives, in your community, and in your profession. You lived fully and honorably, and we thank God for the years He allowed us to share with you.
My brother, rest well. Rest knowing that you did your part. Rest knowing that you left footprints that will guide us for many years to come. Rest knowing that you will forever live in our hearts, in our memories, and in everything you built.
Go well, Eric.
Sleep peacefully, my brother.
Until we meet again.
George

Eric, it's so sad you gone forever. I am indebted to you in so many ways that if I state won't let me finish. From kindness, understanding, generosity, passion etc that you always shared with me, I will always cherish your ways and always remember you.
Your brotherly Love that you showed me will remind me of you as you gave me the honor of being your best man despite my status that time, the best thing is you reciprocated by being my chauffeur to my in-laws so many times i can't count.You gave me a reason why you held me like a real 'Brother'. I will miss you forever.

Life is fleeting, and sudden losses always cut a little deeper.
I’ve witnessed the genuine friendship between you and my brother—something rare and truly precious in these times.
Praying for your soul, Okende bulayi Jirani.

Eric apumzike kwa amani.

I'm honored to pay tribute to my cousin Eric. a very generous person loving and always advising on what to do.Your departure has left me with so many questions and pain,in my heart you will always remain.Till we meet Eric

Am still in denial,,Eric was and still will always be that amazing cousin that I will never forget,to me you're not gone because you will always be in my heart,,you always gave me the best advice and always there whenever I needed your help,,you will always be that amazing and outgoing cousin and no one will ever fill your gap,,your dancing skills and laughter will always remain in my heart,,dance with the angels Eric...

Some people come into our lives and quietly leave unforgettable footprints on our hearts. My cousin was one of those rare souls. We didn’t just share a family tree — we shared moments, laughter, secrets, and seasons of life that shaped who I am today.
Growing up together, we created memories that still make me smile: the inside jokes no one else understood, the adventures that seemed small at the time but now feel priceless, and the conversations that stretched late into the night. With you, even ordinary days became something special.
What I will remember most is your spirit — your warmth, your kindness, your humor, and the way you always knew how to make others feel seen and understood. You weren’t just my cousin; you were my friend.
Though life has taken us on different paths, the moments we shared remain forever with me. I carry them like little lights, reminders of the bond we were blessed to have.
Thank you for being part of my story. Thank you for the joy, the lessons, and the love. I’ll hold them close always. Rest in peace sweet brother
