\u201cIt is of course a very trying time for us as a family but God has given us grace. We are standing strong,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Daddy Owen who is Rufftone’s younger brother also had this to say about his dad…<\/p>\n

\u201cOur dad was having a normal evening with our mum at home and at some point, he excused himself to go to the toilet. Suddenly, he fell down and when our mother rushed there, he complained of chest pain. In a matter of seconds, he was dead,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He went on to add that his father will be laid to rest on October 21st after they had a successful fundraising at Nairobi Pentecostal Church. He said,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe burial will take place next Saturday (October 21) and preparations are on. We will be travelling to Kakamega next week to get all that ready,\u201d he noted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
