" My good professor, ....you lived by faith. The world was not worthy of you. I will miss your wits and humor. May Yahweh comfort Mama, Oluniyi, Rodney and Seneiya and give them tears to cry! Shalom"

I have learned with Deep Shock of the transitioning of my VC DR. CAREW. A great servant of God, a family man, a great leader.My condolences to the the VCs family and the entire AIU fraternity. I shared grace group with him at AIU and i was touched by his humility. He loved God so much and we could see it all around him. GREAT MEN DON'T DIE, THEY FADE. DR. CAREW WON'T DIE FROM MY MEMORY. RIP.

Dr. Carew, your humility and soberness in your leadership was EVIDENT! To crown it all, you have gone home while on duty of your calling. You have basically walked back home to our master and Lord. We are missing you already, the thought you have left us can't sink. I remember your encouragement to me when KQ flight crashed in 2008 and i had lost friends.' Am lost of words. RIP

He was a great man. Humble and very gracious. also very well spoken. i will remember your kind and humble heart. our grace group shall miss you.as you always said. 'In Him all things hold together', and now may you rest in Him. your life was well lived.

I believe you are in a better place Dr. Carew. I still recall when you came to Negst newly weds, in love and looking forward to receiving from the Lord. You always gave the best with humility, kindness and with a smile. We pray that we can emulate the same. Ours prayers are with Ayiku, Oluniyi,Rodney, Seneiya. R.I.P. Till we meet again

Dr. Carew, You have left an extremely admirable legacy. You were a great father, husband and man. It is with a heavy heart we say good bye. Oluniyi, Rodney and Seneiya and mama Oluniyi, I pray for a peace that surpasses all understanding and for God's comfort. God Bless you Dr. Carew, you were a great friend to my father and to the family.

Through the Testimonies I have received, you were a Man after God's own heart. Dr. Carew. you had signed my offer letter of appointment and was looking forward to joining AIU and having fellowship with you!It was never to be! May the almighty God grant your family comfort and peace at such trying moment.

My love, prayers and tears are with Ayiku, Oluoni, Rodney, Seneiya and the extended family.
Dr. Carew you were my senior, true friend, example of Servant Leadership and true Godliness.
In tears Jesus led me to John 14:1-4,6. I know where you have gone,
May all who know and love you follow and live in Christ.

I am still so shocked at your passing. It was just the other day we were critiquing the youth and the scenarios curiculum? Well, for the short period i knew you, i can testify of God's pure love, true humility and a heart of service to all. It is in times like this i pray that God would help me number my days aright. May God comfort your family in every way.

You taught me 'contextual hermeneutics' and 'Minor Prophets' at George Whitefield College in South Africa. The memories of the lectures still ring. You visited us as a family and we had wonderful time over dinner. I loved catching up with you when I visited the library at NEGST. Your Christian legacy will remain. Goodbye till we meet again in His presence.

Dr. Carew always called me “mama Malawi” and never got tired of smiling and greeting me each time we met in the corridors of NEGST/AIU. He has been a great servant leader who served God with humility. He has been a role model to Moses and I; a gentleman full of wisdom. Great son of Africa, gone too soon! We will dearly miss him. My heartfelt condolences to Ayiku and family.

I met Dr. Carew and his family while studying for his Ph.D in DeerFeild, IL, USA. He and his fellow students came to our house for Bible studies and fellowship, a remarkable time of African christian worship and praising God. He was kind, humble and meek, ready to assist in any way to make life easier for the other persons. His life was a shinning example of Christ's image. Rest in peace!

More than a father,a friend and a servant leader.....Dr Carew was man of good caliber,integrity and substance.We will truly miss Dr Carew.....his sermons,his ever peaceful and bright smile,I thank God for His life and the impact he has rendered in my life.RIP Dr Carew.Till we meet again.

I have kept wondering why Dr. Carew you had to go at this point in time, I am still in shock. But today as I pondered I got reminded of Isaiah 57:1c "...the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil to come." My elder you are in the best place where there is perfect peace, pure joy, true love, & highest praise. Meet you there some day & comfort for mum and children.

My Prof, my friend....YOU were the real deal!

Here is a link to one of the latest speeches Dr Carew gave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C50vviLZiU

We continue to run this race....Until we meet again - before our God - the God of Creation ...and Redemption!

I am saddened by the news of your passing away. You were a gentleman. Always calm, cool and collected. Humility embodied. You always had a smile and a greeting when we crossed paths on the way to the Library or Chapel. Your life was an example to many. I am blessed to have had you as my VC.
Until we meet again...

You were a great blessing to all of us who knew you. We had great times cheering our sons on in soccer and basketball at Rosslyn Academy. I was always amazed that you were able to slip away from NEGST and be able to watch the games once in a while! You were a dad who really cared. May God keep your wife and children in His tender loving care as they grieve.

Great Boss, understanding and caring. Called me personally when I lost my sister and nephew in 2005 to condole with us. I was just a new staff member then but that spoke tonnes. You will be greatly missed. May you Rest in His Loving Arms. Till we meet again.

Prof. Carew,
You have gone to be with the Lord. How you made me to work diligently on my thesis then as you continued to tell me that "I want to read it! "I want to read it! So I worked with discipline that a "Vice Chancellor" wants to read my work ! Ok. Saints do not come back to this filthy world from God's presence. We will join you someday.

I am still so shocked that our colleague for so many years is no longer with us. I still remember our days together when we pioneered Negst. We had so many wonderful days together - watching our young families start their journeys in life . God has been so faithful. You have fought the good fight and won ! We will see you on the other side! We are praying for Ayiku and the children.

Our prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your husband and father. He was and is a great example of a Godly faithful gifted man,committed to serving in building the Church and the kingdom of God. We pray for God's comfort and mighty presence during this time Martha, Afrah, Sofia and Gedi

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people,the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven...(Col1:3-5). R.I.P Uncle Carew! Aunty, Seneiya, Rodney& Olunyi may the Grace and Comfort of our LORD be with you now and in the days to come

Being a first year, you left so soon before i could fully get into the system.but i remember the convocation and vividly you launching the founders day.your humility was known to all.we will miss you.RIP servant leader.May God kp your family and loved ones in peace in such trying times.

Dr.Carew, the foyer this Sunday felt very empty without your gentle smile seeking those you sensed needed to be seen...and encouraged. The Nairobi Chapel family has been so much the richer because of you. How we delight to know that we can walk as you did, because you made a committed Walk of Faith seem much possible. Until we meet again.

It is with shock that I share a tribute to my dear brother Douglass. He always called and addressed me as dear brother. At first I did not accept it. After getting the details from Ed Fisher, I accepted as Romans 8:28-29say. God always knows what is best for each one of us. Dear brother rest in God's arms, that is best and eternal. Aiku, children rely on God as Douglas lived did & taught

Indeed, you will be missed Dr. Crarew. I thank God for your life and your leadership you provided to Africa International University /NEGST. "FULL OF LOVE AND INTEGRITY"

its still hard for come to terms with this. I am truly saddened of your passing. To me you were not just a boss but a father, a friend and a mentor. I learnt a lot from you. you believed in me and encouraged me. you lived what you taught us... and reminded us that in Him all things hold together. Rest in the Saviour's arms.

The bonds that link us are not a matter of this lifetime alone. Our loved ones live wihin us. As we strive to live with hope and become happy, we send invisible 'waves' of happiness to our loved ones who have passed away. If we become overwhelmed by sorrow they feel it too. Let us not mourn as one without hope. Douglas you will be greatly missed. Rest in perfect peace.

A man of faith, integrity, and humility, with a big smile, he would always stop and shake your hand wherever you met him. A great leader with great vision, a great teacher and an encourager, a counsellor and a wise listener, a brother and a parent to everyone...That was our dear Dr Carew. He will be greatly missed. "See you at the House, brother"

Few days before Dr. Carew passed on, he met me and said, as he always does, "Hello David, how are you?" I am yet to come to terms with the fact that I will not see him again in our campus. I wish this was a dream. Dr. Carew, your humility, oration and sense of humor will remain in my mind. You were truly and Evangelical Christian and leader. I already miss you!

To Ayiku and the children,

My family extend our sincerest sympathy. Douglas is now with our maker. He has completed what he was called to do on this earth. Goodbye Douglas. Sleep and take your rest. RIP

Sooo shocked by your sudden departure to our eternal home but thanking God for your life here on earth, Dr Carew, as well as for your graduation to heaven. The earthly separation is painful though... :( Mama Ayiku and the kids, and the rest of us will "see you at the House" on our respective graduation day to heaven... Painful reality... :(

You were sensitive to the variety of the linguistic and cultural background of the many nationalities represented at AIU. Helped by your sense of humour, you made sure you know a bit of French, Kiswahili, Kikuyu, Chichewa, etc., just to make speakers of various languages feel good, even though you knew they spoke English. We will miss you!

We give you thanks O Lord, because through Christ you have given us a hope of a glorious resurrection; so that although death comes to us all, yet we rejoice in the promise of eternal life; for to your faithful people life is changed, not taken away; and when our mortal flesh is laid aside, an everlasting dwelling place is made ready for us in heaven.

My family and I will really miss you Dr. Carew and we thank God for having shared with you Grace Group and my wife and I being students at AIU under your leadership. May the Lord God comfort your wife, kids and extended family during such difficult moments. Enjoy the presence of the Lord Mwalimu

As a student at A.I.U, I have known Dr. Carew not only as a VC but also as a spiritual pillar to the students. His presence in the Chapel always meant something full of wisdom will be shared to us. we shall dearly miss you. We are however rejoicing due to the knowledge that you knew Christ and made others know Him too. You fought a good fight and you qualified for the prize. Praise Jesus!

Fond memories of our days together in Freetown's East End ... Trinitonians, FBC, etc. Dougay you were a rare talent who enriched the lives of many, especially those you taught over the years. May God console our dear cousin Aiyku and the kids in these desperately sad times. We mourn your loss in the knowledge that you rest in His keeping and will rise in glory at the appointed time. J&K

Uncle Douglas' memory and the values he instilled of collective responsibility live through us. I am reminded of his gentle spirit, integrity and pioneering leadership that inspired many to aspire. He was a gracious and loving father to my dear brothers and sisters; Oluniyi, Rodney and Seneiya. Uncle Douglas embodied ceaseless faith and epitomized great intellectual humility.We <3 U.

oooops!! Dr.Carew I will never come to terms that you have left usvery soon,you were my mentor,a father above all a servant leader and NOT a BOSS.I never expected a CEO to live a life of simplicity, humble and caring.when I joined NEGSTIt took me time to recognize you as the VC of NEGST.RIP you have completed your race.may the LORD rest your soul in eternal.

Prof Carew a dear friend of my family,a mentor, a true servant of God, a life of true humility, a true shepherd of African leadership,It is still difficult come to terms with the loss. I thank God for the example of Christlike Servant leadership.We thank God for a life well lived.Forever missed

I first met Dr. Carew at a 2000 Convocation at NEGST where Dr. John Stott was the speaker. Douglas gave me one of my first impressions of Africa: a talented, gifted man with a wonderful singing voice. Little did I know!!!! The Lord was pleased with his singing then--and even more so now as he sings with the heavenly choirs. Douglas, we miss you!

Douglas was a dear brother, full of wisdom, vision and good cheer. His love for God came through most surely, in my opinion, through his great sense of calling to the work with AIU, and in his evident love for people.  It will be very hard to visit AIU again without him being there. May the God of all comfort bring us peace, and hope.

It's hard to understand why people are taken from us, but to the family and friends, let us all find comfort in knowing that we were a special part of such a well-lived life. May happy memories carry us through this sorrowful time. Douglas, we wish you a peaceful resting place.

Oh Douglas, it was just a day before your passing that your father had called to tell me that you "my brother" was in the US, and that he was hoping that I will visit the family before your return to Kenya. Yes, you were a brother, from our daily walks to Cathedral School and back home, with stops at the workplaces of our respective dads. You leave me with an indelible memory.

Yes, Douglas, a brother, a fine academic, and good footballer. I will miss you much. Rest in perfect peace.

Douglas the world seems lonely without you. As I continue the journey I had planned for both of us, there are tears streaming down my eyes as I reflect on our good times we shared. Your great example has inspired many to reach higher to fulfill our calling in God's Kingdom. This world is a much better place because of your compassionate and gentle way. Your Teddy Bear Brother

Still reeling from the news. We saw in him a true example of what it means to follow Christ. Such kindness and grace. He showed me Christ even as a youngster growing up in Freetown during our Agape Springs days. The christian community in Africa has truly lost one of the few we looked up to. We are praying for the peace of God for his family. May God bless you richly.

I was in the same grace group with you for a whole year. Even though you were the VC, you made everyone of us feel important. I was shocked at the news of your passing on. You were friendly, you loved and served Gods people. Rest in peace Dr Carew. Our prayers are with your family.

We have just spoken yesterday on campus in September when you greeted me with smiles and asked for Victoria and the girls. You were more than a Professor but a hero and mentor to me during my sojourn at NEGST. Rest in peace you have fought a good fight of faith.

Our love and sympathy to Ayiku and the children. When we think of Dr. Carew, we remember his princely ways, his self-control, his diligence to his duties, his taking time for people, his efforts to promote godliness among faculty and students. What a loss his going is for so many people! We shall meet again!
