Kenya mourns departed events organizer Big Kev
Messages of condolences from friends and colleagues of Kevin Ombajo continue to flow on social media following the death of the renowned events organiser.
Ombajo, popularly known as Big Kev, died on Saturday after a long battle with a brain tumour that led to the loss of his sight late last year.
Big Kev, the CEO and founder of Tru Blaq has been battling with the tumour for six years. Over that period he underwent over 10 brain surgeries.
Early this year, Kenyan entertainers came together in a fundraising dinner in Nairobi that netted more than Sh7million to cushion the medication costs.
Following news of his death on Saturday evening, the hashtag #RIPBigKev has been trending on Twitter.
