George Kamau

November 1, 1969 - November 17, 2020

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of George Kahoro Kamau. He passed away on Tuesday, November 17, 2020. George joined the U.S. Mission in Kenya on March 12, 2000. For the past twenty years, he worked in the Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) as the Information Resource Center Director and Director of the American Center. He was dedicated to young Kenyans who came to the Center looking for opportunities to improve their lives, regularly hosting programs for them in the Center and around the country through our American Spaces. Even in his spare time, George spent time mentoring young Kenyans in need through his church. George was an integral part of the U.S. Embassy’s operations and will be remembered by friends and colleagues throughout the Mission community. He was a father of four and a grandfather of three. Family was a big deal to George, even before his work.

George has been my mission colleague and more specific in the information profession for over 20 years. We shared many fulfilling moments in this field, exchanging invaluable knowledge and information on the current trends and best practices in the profession. We collaborated in many projects together that left an indelible mark. His willingness and ease to share what he knew was admirable. He would never hoard knowledge. That was his selfless nature. I will treasure this in him. George was a friend to many. He would instantly strike a chord with you when you met him. I will retain the memory of those many moments we sat in the cafeteria and discussed and debated on virtually everything from politics, religion, economy, general life etc. George was very articulate in these issues. His calm and collected demeanor when expressing his points was remarkable. He was also a keen listener and would not pretend to know everything. He would also want to learn from others. We also shared a faith. He was Anglican as I am, and on many occasions, we would share our individual experiences in faith and in Church. I took a lot from his experience and knowledge that I will forever cherish and apply in my journey of faith. George could have gone physically but his memory and legacy will live with us forever. Fare thee well buddy, till we meet again. John Gichuru - LOC
