On Thursday family, friends and well-wishers gathered at the Nairobi Baptist Church for a memorial service for the fallen music producer.
Help
Talia gave a moving speech of how Bruce supported him after she lost her job.
“I remember when I lost my job, he fed me every single day, every day,” Talia said in tears.
“He knew I was so proud to ask for help, we were neighbors. When I did not have money, he gave me money and told me as a joke, ebu just go buy that. I want to tell you thank you, for calling me all the time just to make sure I was okay.”
She added:
“Save a place for me as you sing with the angels. I have lost a true friend, rest in peace Bruce Odhiambo, rest in peace father.”
The late Bruce Odhiambo was a personal friend to president Uhuru Kenyatta and his family. First Lady Margaret Kenyatta attended Bruce’s requiem mass and eulogized the deceased as a trailblazer with an unmatched zeal to support local talent and artistes.
