Professor Patrick Ochieng Obonyo Digolo
Patrick Ochieng Obonyo Digolo was born on Christmas Day – 25 December 1948, the child of the late Mr Mathias Ochieng, the late Mama Magdalena Ajwang and Monica Atieno of Ulaf sub-county, Siaya County. He distinguished himself from a young age as a person who put his best effort into all he did. He attended Rang’ala and Umala primary schools and proceeded to Maranda high school where he achieved a first-division pass in his o-level examinations. Thereafter he commenced a long and storied academic career beginning with his S1 in education at Kenyatta College specialising in fine art. His performance was so exemplary it led to a partial degree in educational communication and technology at Kenyatta University College (University of Nairobi), followed by a Masters degree in educational communication and technology at Kenyatta University. Further to this, in 1984, he proceeded to London School of Education to undertake additional studies in educational technology, culminating in his PhD. Prof was a prolific writer and renowned in the area of pedagogy, building the foundation of education for generations of Kenyans and Africans. The true highlight of Prof’s life was meeting and marrying his beloved wife, Professor Betty Aoke Digolo. They met in Siaya through their joint love for athletics – Betty was a national athlete in track and field, while Prof was a pole vaulter. After their courtship and engagement they married at All Saints Cathedral, Nairobi, on 20 December 1975. They were joined by a commonality in values, love for family, and their dedication towards education and development. Their blessed union produced their four beloved children – Peter Digolo of USA, Dr Lina Akinyi Digolo-Nyagah, Jonas Digolo and Absalom Digolo of Nairobi. The family home was filled with love and friendship, and his children remember him as their confidant, the person who taught them to love art, expressed in film, storytelling, music, and pottery. He loved to play with his children – they sang, danced, and laughed. Ever the educationalist, he filled his childrens’ heads with fables and history alike. He and Betty built a beautiful home full of peace, love and respect. They were welcoming, loved to entertain many friends who are still friends today. He remained a dedicated brother to Silfanus Odima, Dolfin Ngesa, Benson Okoth, Marianna Opwapo, the late Rosa Olof, Rosabella Aluoch, Florence Anyango, Roseline Achieng, Dennis Otieno, Maurice Oduor and Mariko Oduor amongst. He was father-in-law to Michael Nyagah, and in-laws to his parents Dr Henry Wellington Alube and the late Mrs Esther Wakaba Alube. Prof was dedicated to preserving and recording Luo traditions and culture. He authored numerous renowned books on the subject, including Luo Proverbs and Wise Sayings, and Ulaf People of Alego: History of Migration, Settlement and Development. These critical texts serve as a lighthouse to current and future generations on where the Luo people come from. It is well accepted that if you do not know where you come from you will not know where you are going. Thanks to academic giants such as Professor Patrick Digolo the future of the Luo peoples is secure. Prof reached his sunset on 7 March 2026 following a period of illness. Throughout this difficult time, he was surrounded by family, friends, and most importantly, abundant love. He is remembered as a community leader, a champion of culture, the consummate family man, and a towering figure in academia. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8
Kees Vervoort
Ons pap was een man die zijn eigen weg ging, eerlijk en oprecht. Hij werkte hard en had een grote passie voor auto’s en ging graag motorcrossen. Als opa genoot hij zichtbaar van de kleinkinderen, spelend in de tuin of samen op pad. Op zijn eigen manier was hij er altijd voor ons. We gaan hem enorm missen. ❤️

Lady Abimbola Puddicombe
A beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, confidant and friend—she was all of these things and so much more. She was the warmth that filled every room, the laughter and energy that echoed through family gatherings, the steady hand that guided us through life's storms. An example of a Christian with a servant's heart. A cornerstone of her local assembly. A selfless giver to her community. The indefatigable organizer at every family event. Her absence has left a space that nothing can fill. She was taken from us far too soon, before we were ready to say goodbye. But while she is no longer here beside us, she will never be forgotten. She lives on in the values she instilled, the memories she created, the love she gave so freely. An irreplaceable soul. A light that cannot be dimmed by time or distance. Forever loved, forever missed, forever ours.
Peter Sankata Kaoma
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Sankata Kaoma, who left this world on February 7, 2026, in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Born on March 22, 1978, in Ndola, Zambia, Peter's journey through life has been a testament to his indomitable spirit and unwavering faith. He was the cherished son, devoted husband, adoring father, and dear brother. His love for sports was unmistakable. Whether dribbling on the basketball court, sprinting on the soccer field, or cheering from the sidelines, Peter's enthusiasm was contagious. He had an equal passion for music and singing. Traveling and exploring new places brought Peter great pleasure, but nothing compared to the joy he found in family life. He leaves behind his beloved mother Grace (Banda) Kaoma, his wife Chaquara Amour Moragne-Kaoma, his namesake son Peter Sankata Kaoma Jr., and his step-children children Darrius Moragne, Arnez Higgins, and Dartrell Brown. His siblings Martin (Pamela) Kaoma, Betty L. Kaoma, and Annie K. Kaoma continue to honor his legacy. Peter now joins his father Peter B. Kaoma and siblings Shirley Kanguya and Mwansa Kaoma, who preceded him in death.
