Bishop Allan Kiuna of the Jubilee Christian Church will be laid to rest today, Wednesday, in Thindigua, Kiambu County.

Several dignitaries, including Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, are expected to attend the send-off ceremony at JCC Paradise, Thindigua.

A memorial service was held on Monday at Faith Evangelistic Ministry Family Church in Karen.

Kiuna passed away on July 9 at a hospital in Nairobi after a long battle with Multiple Myeloma.

His spouse, Reverend Kathy Kiuna, described him as an epitome of strength who battled cancer with hope.

Kiuna, 57, was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2018-19, a battle he publicly shared.

Kathy said he underwent a bone marrow transplant after which he was given a clean bill of health by doctors.

She said Kiuna started feeling unwell again in 2021 but was declared cancer-free later that year.

However, Kathy added that Kiuna began feeling unwell again in May this year.

In her tribute during the memorial service, Kathy revealed that her husband had a premonition of his death.

“He said, ‘I want to go home,’ and he was saying it in front of us. I told him he was already home because we were in the house, but he said he wanted to go home,” she said.

Kathy described Kiuna as her best friend, someone she had known more than she had been alone.

“I have known him more than I have been alone; I’ve been with him more than I have been by myself. I don’t know how to do life without this man,” she said.
