This memorial is in remembrance of our brother and friend, Diu. May the stories and memories we share of him, keep him alive in our hearts. May his generous hand, gentle laughter, kind heart, smart mind and caring soul live on in our memories.
Today we start a new year without you in it and it's heartbreaking 💔. I miss you so much Diu. I hope you are happy. Continue watching over us and guiding us till we meet again
Diu! OD! Oduor! Oduor Ochieng!
I can not cry enough tears! Son of my Uncle, I could cry a river but that will not bring you back son of my Auntie. However much I pinch myself to wake up from this nightmare. It is true you are no longer with us. Surely... moreDiu! OD! Oduor! Oduor Ochieng!
I can not cry enough tears! Son of my Uncle, I could cry a river but that will not bring you back son of my Auntie. However much I pinch myself to wake up from this nightmare. It is true you are no longer with us. Surely no man is limited. You have run the race of life and beaten all of us to the finish line. Heavens ambassador to Earth. Lover of life, lover of peace. May the Lords of heaven and earth wipe away your mothers tears. May he take grief away from your brother’s heart. May he renew your fathers hope and May he the almighty God comfort our sorrow as we grieve the loss of not having you share the coming days we still have on earth.
Diu, is it true that the streets of heaven are made of Gold? Are you singing praises and worship to the God almighty? Heaven has gained a great soul, brother, son, lover and friend. You, Jacob, Dani Kwaru, Nya’Rae, Uncle Jeff, Daddy Ken and all the other cousins uncles and Aunties must be having an awesome time up there. I pray that the Lord almighty keep you safe in his bosom till we meet again. less

My heart is broken. Your presence in my life was so steady and on this earth large and vibrant that I don’t even know how to process that you’re gone.
Thank you for being the best big brother, friend, shoulder, teacher. Thank you for the advice, the endless laughs, the ridiculous conversations, for bringing me out of my shell, for working with me, for making some of the more difficult moments bearable. Thank you for more memories than I can count.
Thank you for sharing your dreams, ambitions, struggles, victories, joys and time with me. I didn’t always understand but I was always happy to be your cheerleader. I had no doubt and looked forward to you achieving all that your heart desired. Thank you for allowing me to be your friend.
Thank you for never growing weary in sharing your light and love with others. I had 4 years and I am truly so blessed and grateful to have known you.
You will forever be in our hearts.
I love you friend and I will miss you. less

I keep going back to the last time we were together a couple of weeks ago. I was so tired and sleepy but you wanted to chat and catch-up and that's exactly what we did until the early hours of the morning. I am so happy God gave me that opportunity because He knew it would be the last in-person conversation you and I would have in this life. Your physical absence will always cause me pain but I choose to believe that I have gained an angel. Thank you for the countless memories, the random phone conversations, the love, and the laughter. Thank you for being such a bright light in my life, for being so accommodating and open-minded, for the great insights & advice, and for being a huge cheerleader. The world was definitely a better place with you in it. I love you and I miss you. Rest with the angels Diu, tutaonana baadaye. less

It was a cold winter July, and the many blankets made me feel welcome. He was that generous and hospitable. I became part of their family and Diu was like a younger brother. Although we were much older than him, Diu easily blended in our Braai days. He was that rare individual who was very social and yet excelled in both sports and academics. I remember the many awards he would get at Suncrest High School. He was so full of life. He is gone too soon. His passing was truly shocking. Rest in peace Diu. We will meet again in heaven. It was a privilege to know you. less

While I was there, I was overwhelmed with floods of memories, these tiny things about you I wasn’t always conscious of, like the creases near your mouth, the way you’d walk or how you’d call me ‘buttercup’. I can’t even remember why we settled on that nickname. A buttercup is usually one of the first flowers you’re introduced to as a child, it represents playfulness, joy, youth and friendship. I’ve been hearing you say ‘what’s up buttercup’ in my head a lot lately and I almost giggle to myself in remembering how you brought out the inner child in me, those precious parts we repress amidst the dread and seriousness of adulthood. I appreciate now more than ever how protective you were over me, how you would appear by my side in my moments of pain that no one else seemed to notice, the tiny gifts you’d bring to my flat on your visits and how you’d walk me to wherever I was going, even if it was out of your way, just so we could share another story. Loyal, eccentric and gentle, you’ve brought my pessimistic self to consider optimism as a chaperone, because you carried it so well. I hope that in the years without you, I can mould into the parts of you I love and wear them as well as you did. Forever, a buttercup in your field of flowers. less

Death can be so cruel and unforgiving. It has struck us with a heavy blow. This human dilemma has robbed us of a burning light that warmed our hearts in this often cold and dark world. Diu I was blessed with only a glimpse of your kindness, your compassion and your ability to make someone feel at ease but all the same your light shone so bright and so warm that it left a permanent imprint. I remember your passion for UCT but more especially I remember one time when there was a discussion about tithing and you tried to get my opinion on tithing. Even though at the time I was clueless on the subject to this day I appreciate how you went out of your way to include shy me in the conversation. You offered advise from what felt like a well full of God's wisdom. You were silly and thoughtful. Your passing has left us all gasping for breathe but God in His word said,"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."-Matthew 5:16 NKJV. You let your light shine and we saw your good works so therefore we glorify our Father in heaven.You will be remembered in our hearts and in our memories. Rest in peace.

Beyond the natural inquisitiveness and intelligence, you brought your authentic self to all that you did at work. When you joined UI I quickly came to know that your work went hand in hand with truly connecting with people. I remember one of our first discussions and how filled you were with ideas to strengthen our culture at work so our team from around the world could get to know each other better. You became the UI Culture Lead on a mission to recognize the work of your colleagues and galvanize a team on three continents for Friday Happy Hours.
I feel lucky that we had dedicated one hour sessions every month for you to share your own goals and areas where I could support you as your leader. Of course, they turned out to be moments of us both sharing our goals and dreams, talking about an array of topics, getting to know each other beyond the pragmatics of work. Thank you for sharing your heart and mind. God bless your soul. (picture of Odi and his South African UI colleagues). less

I can't believe that you are no more. I worked with you for only two months but I miss you so much. You were not just a colleague, but became a great friend.
I still remember our first call where I was expecting to talk work but ended up spending the entire hour chatting about life. That's how all our work calls were - weren't they? Spending 90% of the time catching-up and the remaining 10% rushing to discuss work. And smack in the middle of conversation, you will ask really deep questions. Like "How are you doing, really?".
I love your curiosity and care for others. While working with you, I also got to see how smart you were. It is so sad that the world never got to experience it fully.
I will miss you Odi. I pray for your family to find the strength to cope with your loss. May you rest in peace. Many blessings for your family. less

It is just sad that I won't get to see you and talk to you anymore and how we wished to do so many things and it won't happen anymore.
Talking to you was like a therapy and your smile used to make everything fine. I miss your charismatic smile, happy vibes, curiosity and passion towards people in your life and your work. Those four months of working with you were incredible, your perspective, critical thinking always amazed me. I will always cherish our bond and friendship! Hoping and praying that you are in a better place now.

Just three weeks back we were celebrating your graduation, I am so proud of the man you had become since knowing you from first year. The one thing I’m grateful for throughout this whole ordeal is that you got to spend the last day on Earth with a girl you’ve always wanted to be with since 2016. I know you loved her a lot, because you were such a loud lover.
I am also grateful that my last day in Cape Town I got to spend with you. I love you so much my friend, you’ll forever be in my heart.

You sure were an old soul. Conversations would not end. From philosophy, psychology, spirituality and of course economics. Sometimes i wondered how such a young person who had yet to experience life got to know so much about life. I suppose it got to show the depth of your inquisitive mind.
You had quite a phenomenal servitude spirit. "Let me know if you need any help Mama Wanga..." had become synonymous with you. The grandest au pair, the entertainer, Mr. Handyman, the tech advisor, the list is endless.
You were like a little brother to me. The other closest male figure to Wanga after his Uncle. The first person he would reach out to whenever he got a punishment for being naughty. "Diu, where is mom"... "what mischief have you been up to, Wanga?", you would say. Yet, in your eyes, he was the most well-manned boy amongst his crew.
Its hard to believe you were taken away from us in a split second. Be that as it may, to be, as it is.
Thank you for the beautiful memories, the impact you have made and for living the world a better place.

These words won't do you justice...
What an honor and privilege it was to know you and witness your growth.
From days spent at Kilindini Residence; you knocking on my door for supper time or early in the morning for exams, dining hall conversations that seemed to last forever and late night studying, to the splendor in hearing about all your accomplishments and achievements years later.
I could always count on being greeted by you, with the biggest smile and the ability to share a laugh no matter our hurry. You were always the first to message to see how I was doing.
Always humble and charming.
I was so happy to find your face amongst the crowd on this day and proud to be there to witness you achieve this one milestone of many in your life.
You achieved many great things through your hard work and dedication. It was always inspiring to hear about what you were up to or what you were planning on doing next. There is no doubt in my mind that you would have gone on to achieve so much more.
You had the ability to lift the mood of any room that you were in and you lifted my life as well.
I'll always remember you for your smile, your laugh, your warmth and your humor.
Rest in peace brother. I'll never forget you. less

In the months that I got to know Odi I was delighted by his kindness and his consideration for myself and other coworkers. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Odi in person we shared countless calls with one another. Sometimes related to work and sometimes just discussing the similar stages of life we were in. We routinely spoke about our career ambitions and I was genuinely excited to see what Odi might achieve given his charismatic, intelligent, and kind nature.
Two things about Odi that especially stood out to me in my knowing him were his smile and curiosity with the world. As everyone who knew Odi knows, he had a wonderful smile, one that radiated kindness and easily led to trust. I think this light that Odi radiated was characteristic of how he led his life — caring for others and being a true companion and friend. Odi’s curiosity with the world was something I envied. In our roles at UI I had the privilege to work closely with him, reviewing many deals. Odi was always asking great questions and would amaze me with how he would see things I would have likely never have noticed. He was a great coworker and friend, I will miss him dearly.
Rest In Peace Odi, thank you for the impact you had on myself and all of us at UI. less

I have racked my head for every single detail of every moment we shared because that is how I want to remember you. Your smile, your infectious laughter, the occasional debates, those long nights we talked away sitting on the rug in my empty living room just so we could spend an extra few minutes of the day together, how you hugged me, the way you smiled with your eyes when you looked at me, how those around us could see our spark, sometimes even before we acknowledged it ourselves, giving up your blanket because I was not prepared for that CPT winter, making the time to spend my birthday with me that year because I didn't have friends there yet and making it special while at it and you showing up on my door with a bowl of fruit salad ever so often because as you said "I had to stay healthy". This is who you were, gentle, selfless, kind, caring, present, thoughtful, intelligent and foresighted. Because of all this, I knew you loved genuinely and in the most honest way possible. And even though that chapter had its ending, I am glad it led to another for us.
Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for loving me. It was an honour to be in your fierce tribe and share in your life.
Till we meet again, we will always have Cape Town. less

I was lucky enough to know you both as a friend to your brother and also as a fellow 2015 first year at UCT. Whenever I saw you — whether it was in the dining hall or on Main, you were friendly and kind in a very genuine way. I remember we spoke extensively about your ambitions after your studies and I got to see the funny, hardworking side of you. From your brother’s stories I learned that you were a cheeky but charming younger sibling, a great big cousin and a beloved son. And while you and your brother played it cool (like many siblings do) whenever you encountered each other around friends, I know there was a deep, mutual love there for both of you.
It hurts to think of the loss the people closest to you must be feeling, but it speaks to how no important you were in this world and how much good you were able to do in more than 24 years of life.
While your physical journey here has been cut short dear Odi, may your legacy of laughter, kindness and openness live on forever. less

The greatest memory I have with him is when I was staying at his place after the loss of my father. He really took care me during that period. Diu made sure that I was okay everyday that I was there. He would make me laugh. He would talk to me about my father and he would listen. He'd even distract me when he saw I wasn't okay. He made sure I never felt like I was alone. He encouraged me to push through that difficult time. The care and love he showed me during that period is something I can never repay. My heart breaks that I can never say thank you for the kindness he showed. God knows what he did and for me and will reward him. May his souls rest in peace. less

You always made a point to come and visit us in eldoret when you came to kenya and you would tell us different stories until late at night
Dad and mum have lost a son

Genuinely, one of the funniest people I knew, who brought a whole bunch of positivity into the workspace. Always quick with off the cuff comments and hilarious anecdotes, with an awesome outlook on life. You will be sorely missed Odi; you brought a certain light to our working environment that is definitely irreplaceable. Thoughts and prayers are with Odi's family and friends during this trying time less
I worked with Odi at University Impact. He was one of the kindest, friendliest and most charismatic people I have ever met. He literally lit up every meeting or conversation we had. I will miss him deeply, and am thinking of his family during this time.... moreI worked with Odi at University Impact.
