The family of the former CEO at Safaricom has kept a low key since the news of his passing was made public.
Everything from moving the body to the Lee Funeral Home to taking the body for cremation has been a private affair.
The cremation ceremony, which happened on Tuesday at the Kariakor Crematorium, was only attended by family, close friends and a few staff of Safaricom.
PRIVATE LIFE
Wambui has been married to Bob since April 2016. Their wedding was also private.
Collymore managed to keep his personal life so private that even in death little was written about his life before coming to Kenya.
Collymore died on Monday, July 1 at his home after a long battle with blood cancer.
