He revealed that he last talked with Ndirangu a month ago, and their discussion still lingered in his mind.
“Just like many people who knew you, I have been in denial of your demise. My brother Steve (Stewan), yours hit so many of us differently. How quickly this monster called cancer took you, bro, is still shocking! I last talked to you when we were in India together, like a month ago, and the words you told me they still linger in my mind,” he said.
He accompanied his message with an obituary, admitting that seeing his friend in the newspaper confirmed his passing.
“Seeing you on paper today confirms that indeed you are gone! Go well, bro! We will dearly miss your wisdom kwa chama zetu na urafiki wa maana! RIP,” he added.
