Mike
July 9, 2014
Mike and Raymonde had been separated as man and wife for many years. In 2010, Mike met and fell in love with Afua Serwa Brenya. He said the thing that attracted him to Afua the most was her laughter and happy disposition. With the blessing of Teacher Mina, he asked that the customary marriage rites be performed,. Theirs was one long distance relationship that worked really well.
In 2011, Mike was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. With the support of AfDB, he received the best treatment both in Tunis and the UK. The best tonic for his recovery was that Afua was able to come to London to support him in his care back to good health! During this time he also had the support of many friends and AfDB colleagues in Tunis.
He returned to Tunis in 2012 having made excellent recovery and with the illness in remission. His ongoing treatment and excellent care was shared between the AfDB doctors in Tunis and University College Hospital’s top consultant.
Mike’s illness took a sudden turn for the worst in April and sadly he lost his battle for life on Tuesday, 29th April 2014, 3 days before his 61st birthday!!!
The family of Michael Offei Kwafo give thanks for his life on this earth and are comforted by the fact that he impacted positively on the lives of so many people.
