"I CANNOT BELIEVE AM WRITING THIS TODAY", THE LATE BIG KEV'S WIFE MOVES MOURNERS TO TEARS AS SHE WRITES THE MOST EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE
Today, family, friends and fans converged at Nairobi Chapel for the All White Celebration of Big Kev.
Big Kev – real name Kevin Ombajo – died last weekend after battling cancer for long.
His wife, Tracy Ombajo, paid a moving tribute to him.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I AM WRITING THIS TODAY, BUT I THANK GOD FOR THE YEARS OF LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, SHARED MEMORIES, EXPERIENCES, FRIENDSHIP, BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS AND OUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER SHANA, THAT WE HAD TOGETHER.
I met Kevin in the early 1990’s, as I was minding my own business and walking downtown with my girlfriend Mukami Kinoti. Mukami knew him from childhood (they attended Kilimani Primary School).
She introduced us. Over the next few years, Kevin and I met and sometimes interacted at the different industry events.
Kevin always had his ear on the ground, he showed up at my modeling agency. We hired him for advertising work… and I remember how he was so amused by the experience, and every so often I would remind him, that I first employed him…
In 1997, I went to hand the crown to the incoming Ms. Kenya, at the time Kevin and his friends were working for the franchise holder and were running the event. We later on went to work on a few projects in the industry; every so often Kevin would invite me to
judge the different beauty pageants.
We met on and off over the years and in 2001 we met at the gym and exchanged numbers. We began to hang out as friends. One day I was visiting with him and as we were going through the newspaper as follow up to a story, we saw a picture of Mercy Myra and they had her age on the article about her.
I REMEMBER SAYING, “MERCY MYRA IS MY AGE!” AND I WILL NEVER FORGET, HE TURNED TO ME AND SAID “WHAT? YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN I THOUGHT, HE SMILED AND SAID,” THIS CHANGES THINGS”
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE WAY HE SAID IT, THAT I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE (LOL)… AND
THIS WAS GOING TO CHANGE OUR FRIENDSHIP AS I KNEW IT. AND SURE ENOUGH, IT CHANGED A LOT OF THINGS! WE STARTED COURTING (HIS WORDS) UNTIL HE PROPOSED 6 MONTHS LATER. WE GOT MARRIED ON 12TH JUNE 2005. WHAT I REMEMBER ABOUT THIS TIME AND EVEN THEREAFTER IS THAT WE TALKED
A LOT.
We just seemed to have a lot to say to each other and that set the tone for our marriage. The most amazing thing about our communication was that we found a way to express ourselves with the strong personalities that we both are.
Talking for hours was our thing, diverse subjects and opinions. We took long walks – we maintained those over the years and really enjoyed time with each other this way. We had
a way we show things, that really tickled us… and we would have good laughs about them.
