“He asked me to love him unconditionally, and I did, despite all of his flaws,” Grandmother of Brian Chira
TikTok sensation Brian Chira was laid to rest on March 26 at his grandmother’s ancestral home in Githunguri, Kiambu County, marking the end of a vibrant life cut short by tragedy at the age of 23 in a hit-and-run accident on March 16. His passing leaves behind a legacy of creativity and compassion that touched many lives.
In a moving tribute, Chira’s grandmother, Esther Njeri, affectionately shared cherished memories of the young man who left an indelible mark on those around him.
Njeri, lovingly referred to as Chira’s grandmother, reflected on the deep bond they shared since his childhood, highlighting the significant void his absence has left in their lives.
“Brian has left an immense void in our hearts. My prayer is that God will raise another strong and vibrant soul among my grandchildren. Chira always asked me to love him just as he was, and I loved him unconditionally,” she expressed.
Having lost his mother at the tender age of eight, Chira found solace in the loving care of his grandmother, who he considered his best friend. Njeri lauded his selflessness and devotion to their family’s well-being, noting his sacrifices, such as leaving university to support his cousins.
Despite grappling with his own challenges, Njeri shared how Chira remained dedicated to his family, making significant sacrifices to ensure their welfare. She concluded her tribute with a heartfelt prayer for her grandson’s eternal peace.
“Brian tirelessly worked to provide for his cousins. My dear grandson, I cherished you from the moment you entered my life until your last breath. Your absence will be deeply felt,” Njeri conveyed, mourning the loss of a beloved family member.
Chira’s involvement in church activities, particularly in Sunday School and the Boys and Girls Brigade, along with his unwavering commitment to the Christian Union throughout his school years, highlighted his profound faith and dedication to serving others.
