In Loving Memory of Christopher Kimotho

We will always remember you for all the weekend gatherings all the times you made us laugh, and the generosity you shared so effortlessly with everyone around you. You are our brother and a true staple in our home. Your presence, your warmth, and your sense of humor filled our space and our lives in a way that can never be replaced. Our side conversations about life, your perspective, and your honesty meant so much and will stay with us forever.
Robert, Talia, and I will miss you deeply. Our hearts are broken, but we are so grateful for the memories, the laughter, and the love we shared with you. You will always be part of our family and forever in our hearts.

My favourite cousin as you always called me, although I have now discovered you had multiple favourites.

There are so many moments that have been difficult and hard to comprehend but I think most of all, we all agree we will miss your love, friendship and unifying nature.
Across generations, cultures, religion, idealogy, values, ethics.
You simply got us to see the good in life.
Your loss is hard because we didnt practice enough how to be diplomats and caring for each other.
As you watch over us, give us queues when derailed.
May heaven truly be kind to you.
Love you lots, Wince.

I was very saddened by the devistating and unexpected news of Chris’ passing. I knew Chris since we both started in the work place almost 22 years ago. We became good friends over the years. I will remember his great smile, funny sense of humour, kindness and most importantly his big heart. You will be missed my dear friend. Thank you for your friendship, I will cherish the good memories we’ve had together. My condolences to Chris’ parents, loved ones, family, friends and colleagues. May you all experience God’s Love, Peace and Comfort in this difficult time. Sincerely, Ronel 🌷

Cousin, even though we hadn’t seen each other in some time, you were always held close in my heart. I take comfort in believing that God is gently holding you now, surrounding you with His peace.

Chris, I trust you are resting in His love. I will carry your memory with me always, and I lean on the promise that this is not goodbye—just until we meet again. Rest in Peace🙏🏽

Deepest condolences to the family. Remembering moments of laughter with him. Rest Well

Although I have not seen Chris in several years. We all grew up together in the same neighbourhood, on the same street. He was always entertaining and fun to be around. Good memories …

Please accept my deepest condolences on the unexpected passing of Chris. I was truly saddened to hear this news.

I had the privilege of knowing Chris for 20years, and during that time he was not only a valued colleague, but a genuinely wonderful person. He was always willing to help others, offering his time, kindness, and support without hesitation. His character and generosity left a lasting impression on everyone who had the opportunity to work with him.

Chris will be deeply missed, and his loss is felt by many. My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with you and your family during this incredibly difficult time.

With sincere sympathy,
Natalie

Chris, I don’t even know how to put this pain into words. My heart is broken in a way I never knew it could be. You weren’t just an amazing guy — you were my person in so many moments when I needed someone the most. You had this way of making me laugh when I felt like I was falling apart, and you listened to me like nothing I ever said was too much. You always understood me. You were always there.

My kids loved you so much, Chris. You meant the world to them, and seeing how safe, happy, and loved they felt around you will forever stay in my heart. You made such a deep impact on our lives, especially on mine. You walked beside me through my roughest paths, through the days I didn’t think I’d make it, and you were right there on my good days too, cheering me on like you always did. You never judged me. You never left. You never gave up on me.

Everyone loved you because you were real, kind, and full of light. The silence you’ve left behind is unbearable, and the emptiness feels endless. But I promise you this — you will never be forgotten. You live on in our memories, in our laughter, and in every moment you helped shape just by being you. I will carry you with me forever, Chris. Always loved. Always missed. 💔

Although I have not seen Chris in several years. We all grew up together in the same neighbourhood, on the same street. He was always entertaining and fun to be around. Lots of good memories. He will be missed.

I had the privilege of working with Chris Kimotho back in 2001, and even after all these years, his memory remains vivid in my heart. Chris was more than a colleague — he was a gentle soul, a great man, and a wonderful friend.
He approached every challenge with calm wisdom and kindness, and he had a quiet strength that made everyone around him feel at ease. Those of us who knew him remember not only his professionalism but also his humor, his humility, and the genuine care he showed for others.
Today, as we remember Chris, we celebrate a life that made a lasting difference. His warmth, integrity, and friendship continue to inspire us. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the many lives he touched.
Rest in peace, my friend. You will never be forgotten.

I will always carry the memory of you in the quiet moments—the laughs we shared, the conversations that didn’t need words, and the way you showed up when it mattered most. You had a gift for making people feel seen and cared for, and I was lucky to be one of them.

Your kindness, strength, and sense of humor left a mark on my heart that time can’t erase. Even though you’re no longer here, your presence lives on in the stories we tell, the lessons you taught, and the love you gave so freely.

I miss you more than I can say, but I’m grateful for every moment we had. You will always be remembered, always loved, and never forgotten.

Thirteen years is a lifetime of memories, Peanut. We grew together, laughed together, struggled together, and loved each other through so many seasons of life. You weren’t just part of my life—you were part of who I am.

I will always remember the little things: the way you made me laugh when I needed it most, the comfort of just being beside you, and the love we shared without needing words. You had a way of filling spaces with warmth, and my heart will forever hold the space you left behind.

Even though you’re gone, our memories live on in everything I do. Thirteen years doesn’t disappear—it stays, woven into my heart forever. I miss you more than I can say, and I will always love you.

Chris… you were such an amazing person to work with. I will miss your laughter and your friendship. It was always fun at work when u were there. Miss u!

To Chris’ family and friends,
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked at Rogers in Ottawa for 20 years with Chris and every interaction with him was a positive one that would end with a laugh.

Was one of my great friends in the workplace and outside of it! Rest in peace Chris! You will not soon be forgotten!

Chris and I knew each other since 1980 when I came to live in Kenya 🇰🇪 😭. We reconnected last year via WhatsApp and I found that he had turned into a very positive person. I am so sorry 😞 to hear 😢 that he has passed. I will miss our WhatsApp chats.

Chris was a truly exceptional friend and a rare soul. We were profoundly fortunate to have known him. Chris listened with genuine empathy, laughed wholeheartedly, and supported us without hesitation. When Chris was present, it brought comfort and strength, whether through quiet reassurance or joyful encouragement, fitting the moment. Now, life feels different without him. This tribute celebrates not just who Chris was, but what he meant to each of us and everyone who knew him. Chris’s legacy isn’t measured by grand achievements but by the small, heartfelt impressions he left behind: an enduring conversation, a warm memory, a presence that still feels close to our hearts.
