“Nick Mudimba, or as I used to call you in my dialect—to your chagrin—’Mutimba.’ Maaaan!
We all know the end is inevitable, but we cannot accept it in the way it has arrived.
When I joined KTN, you offered support. Years later, a friendship that began behind the scenes blossomed into brotherhood until the very end.
Rest easy, one of the kindest, most generous, and most fun people to be around.
It’s hard. But we take it, Mutimba.”
