Donald Brooks Kouam (1992 - 2014)
It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic death of Donald Brooks Kouam, who died in a car accident while returning to University on 19th May 2014. Donald was 22 years old.
Donald Brooks Kouam was born in Washington DC on 1 Mars 1992 (St Patrick's Day), but grew up in London and was an active and much loved member of the Cathedral parish for many years. He was baptised, made his First Holy Communion and was Confirmed at Westminster Cathedral. He was a fond friend of many in the parish, especially among the clergy and altar servers.
After leaving Westminster City Boys Secondary School, Donald was accepted to study at Hammersmith and Fulham, then at DeMontfort University, from where he later transferred to continue his undergraduate studies (BA Hons in Architecture) at the Norwich University of the Art. He was greatly like by his fellow students, as well as those who had known him in the various clubs and societies he had belonged to, such as the Air Cadets and Police Cadet.
Donald was a very popular and gifted young man, who will be sadly missed not only by his family and friends, but also by many worshippers and parishoners at Westminster Cathedral.
We pray for his family at this time, especially Bibi Bernadette, his mother, Sophia, Alex and William Ken. May he rest in peace.

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want to rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once share
Miss me - but let me go
For this is a journey that we all must take
and each must go alone
it is all part of the Master Plan
A step on the road t home
when you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me but let me go
I miss your darling, you break my heart.
I only pray God must give me the strenght courage to accept my loss. Love always and keep a better place for us while keeping us in your prayers forever. xxx
Seigneur je te prie de prendre l'âme de mon neveux Brookiki auprès de toi. S'il te plai Dieu donne lui la meilleure place à tes côtés.
Que la route te soi legère Brookiki. Tu restera gravé dans mon coeur.
