Dagoretti MP Beatrice Elachi has described her late son Elvis Murakana Namenya as a lover of church, music and football.
Delivering her eulogy during the memorial service at Holy Trinity Church in Kileleshwa, Elachi said Elvis grew up as an introverted kid who loved football and music.
"One thing I will tell you, he loved this church. And even when I come to church, if you ask the people of Holy Trinity I've never come as Mheshimiwa," she added.
Elachi prayed that God will have mercy and favour upon Elvis's soul, so he can see heaven.
She said in their family, their Christian life comes first, with the term and advice of "pray" being frequent.
"Prayer sustains. My spiritual mum will tell you before you walk out the door remember to pray and tell God to open doors for you and to bring you back safe," she said.
She thanked Elvis's friends, praying that God grant them their desires, needs and open doors for them.
"You are going to graduate all of you and in that graduation may Angels open doors for you as you look as you do good work," she said.
" I just want to say thank you very much because you prayed for Elvis."
Elvis passed away while receiving treatment at AAR Intensive Care Unit after being involved in a road accident.
He is said to have left home for errands in Kasarani on Tuesday, March 18, when the accident occurred.
Tragically, while driving back, his car suffered a tyre burst along Thika Road, causing it to veer off and collide with the guardrails.
When police arrived, Elvis was found unconscious and was immediately rushed to AAR Hospital for urgent medical care.
He was a Business Studies student at Africa Nazarene University and had been eagerly anticipating his graduation in June 2025.
Elvis will be laid to rest on Saturday at the family home in Nalepo Village, Kajiado County from 10am.
The cortege will leave Lee Funeral Home at 7 am on the same day.
