Francis Thiong’o, the beloved husband of renowned gospel singer Jemimah Thiong’o, passed away on Sunday morning, 21st July 2024, at Kenyatta National Hospital.
He succumbed to cardiac arrest after being hospitalized for nearly four months.
Tonin Okoth, chairman of the Love Concert organizing committee, which was set to raise funds to support Francis’ hospital bill, confirmed the sad news. In a heartfelt statement, he said;
“It’s with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mr. Francis Thiong’o, loving husband to Gospel Minister Jemimah Thiong’o. He has gone to be with the Lord this morning after being hospitalized for close to four months now.”
Okoth further explained that the Love Charity Concert, initially organized to raise funds for Francis Thiong’o’s medical expenses, has been put on hold.
“The organizing committee has instead chosen to focus on the send-off preparations. We shall resume with the Love Celebration concert as soon as we are done with funeral arrangements still scheduled for 4th August 2024,” he added.
The memorial service for the late Francis Thiong’o will be held on Sunday, 28th July, at Membley Baptist Church from 2 PM.
The public are invited to attend.
