Suba North Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo has been left heartbroken following the death of a close family member. Millie Odhiambo’s Brother-in-law Dies While Following Raila’s Burial Ceremony: “I’ve No Words” Millie’s brother-in-law, Cannon John Edward Limo, passed away on Sunday, October 19, a few hours after the burial of former ODM leader Raila Odinga. In a touching message on Facebook, the lawmaker recalled how her brother-in-law recently hosted her in the United States despite being unwell. “Death sneaked upon us a few hours ago and stole my brother-in-law Reverend, Cannon John Edward Limo, spouse to my sister Violet Odhiambo Limo. I visited them early this month in Apple Valley, California, together with my cousin Jane, and though unwell, he is the one who drove us to and from the airport,” Millie said.
Millie disclosed that Limo, the husband of her sister Violet Odhiambo Limo, was a diehard supporter of the late former prime minister. The late had lamented that it was difficult for him not to witness the veteran opposition leader being laid to rest. A devoted supporter of Raila had in the morning called Ramogi TV and Ramogi Radio to express his condolences to Kenyans and the Luo nation on the passing of the former prime minister. The ODM lawmaker disclosed that her brother-in-law died while watching Raila’s burial ceremony that took place in Bondo, Siaya county. “He has always been such a Baba diehard and called Ramogi this morning to send condolences on Baba’s last journey. Two days ago as we spoke on phone, he told me he cannot fathom how Babai is being buried in his absence. He was following Baba’s last journey when he took a final bow. I have no words for Violet,” the Suba North lawmaker mourned. Until his passing, he served as the priest in charge at St. Timothy’s Church, part of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, the Episcopal Church, and the Anglican Communion.
