Thank you for your kindness and warmth while I interned at Idea Builders.

Personally I am grateful for the life you lived because you at the age of 18 taught me one of the most important lessons in life; to value the privilege which my parents bestow upon me. The older I grow, the more I realise just how invaluable those words were. I can unequivocally say that the person I am growing up to be is shaped to a large extent by those words.

It is rather sad that you will not be there physically with your daughters to lead them through life with similar nuggets of wisdom. But just as you have impacted and nurtured others, the Lord will raise others to lead them through.

I pray for strength for your wife, Madame Lucy even during this difficult period. Remember that even when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, the promise is that He is with you. Remain strong.

Rest in Peace Mr. Kanu.

Great Kanuri,
May your gentle soul rest in the bossom of the Lord.

KK! Your journey here was really short and ended so unexpectedly. Well! we all are like Eagles! We do not belong here, we belong to the heavens above and would one by one transcend to meet our creator to give an account of our stewardship here.
You were a man with a good heart. I hope you were also able to make up with Jesus Christ the only way and the only possible reconciliator and mediator between man and his creator - Jehovah, the great 'I AM'. Sleep well K!!!

Uncle, You had been given extra time (thank u lord) Every night I go to bed and pray that you went up peacefully. Sometimes I sit up at night and wish you were still with us. I miss you and love you always xoxo Your niece Zara xo

A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. You will not be forgotten. Sleep well my gentleman brother-in-law, till we meet again.

You always called me "Oyibo" when we saw. I laughed because between you and me who was the 'Oyibo' :). It was a pleasure knowing you Kris. Thank you for the laughs! For taking loving care of my friend Lucy and your little angels!!! You are and always will be sorely missed.

I've managed to stay distant from this reality since I found out Kris was gone but today, visiting this page, the pain hit and hit hard. Kris was the big brother I 'adopted' having lost mine many years ago and though my visits to the Kanu's home became few and far between, that didn't change. My greatest hope is that Kris sorted out his relationship with the Lord before he left our earthly shores because I so hope to meet up with him again where his laughter will never cease.

How do I start writing this, that my dear in law is no more!! Kris, you were an angel.... You had an infectious warmth that always kept us close..... We will forever remember your gentleness and your smile. We thank God for your wonderful life on earth . sleep well my dear in law. God loves you most.

Though you're gone, You live through your kids. Be assured that we will guard your legacy. I will miss you deeply. Till we meet again. Sleep on.

Please accept our condolences on the passing of your wonderful husband Kris. It was an honor to have known such a great person. He was kind and funny, yet serious and strong. He will truly be missed by all who had the pleasure to meet him. Sending you hugs and kisses during this difficult time.

Dear uncle Kris,
your memories will never be forgotten,
we all miss you, May your soul rest in peace.

I thank God for the years of companionship with Kris - my gentleman, pillar of strength and pride.

Kris was my rock. When I got upset, he annoyingly stayed calm. When I was worried, he patronizingly, –yet lovingly, reassured me that everything would be ok. When I wasn’t sure what to do, he patiently and carefully figured it out for me. He was completely dedicated to our children in every way – and their strength these past few days is the greatest sign I could have that Kris is still here with us in spirit.

As we put the love of my life to rest, we would succeed only in burying his body. His spirit, his soul, his amazing ability to give is still with us. It lives on in the stories people are sharing of how he touched their lives, in the love that is visible in the eyes of our family and friends, in the spirit and resilience of our children. Things will never be the same – but my life is far better for the years my beloved husband shared with me.

Kris, you do us strong thing o! It seems like just yesterday, when we sat in your living room chatting and laughing. You were such a gentleman, patient and kind. We will miss you and we will not forget you. God loves you best. Rest in the perfect peace of God's bosom, till we meet again.
