If you feel like calling a friend, do it. Whether that friend be in the present near, or distant past, just check on your friend. In my culture, I cry for my friend, I cry and cry... Kyalo you are my light in the sky.... Bises bises...

Kyalo... Oh my Lord... You and I were supposed to be married... only the afterlife will tell, we will meet again. Sending you love and prayers... You are gone too soon mon Cheri... You are a genius and an amazing friend... 
Till we meet again.... Bises!

Good bye dear brother, 

I will miss your laughter, your jokes, and your smile man. You truly were a blessing to be around. I'll cherish our memories and all the lessons you taught me.  I will miss you man but we will see each other again, see you later until then dear brother...

Kyalo and develped a deep found friendship based on love and respect for one another. We met through work and were amazing friends ever since. Kyalo is one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. His brilliance was only exceeded by his humility. I am devastated at the loss of my dear friend and I pray intimately for his dear family. If there is anything at all I can do please do not hesitate to reach out. 

When you think of Kyalo you don't think of wasted opportunity, you think of courage and determination, the courage to be a good student, to be an engineer, to work as an engineer, to quit working for others to start his own business the determination to commit, this was Kyalo.  I should have followed the same path but sadly these weren't my qualities. I knew Kyalo briefly at MCC he always remembered me as the years went by but sadly I can't say that I returned the favor. I don't think that he was a religious man but his character spoke different.
Trod on Kyalo you passed on way too soon, God appreciates the determined and courageous.
God bless your family

May your soul rest in peace uncle.

You are my hero. You made sure that I be successful as you in my life.

I will follow your footsteps.

Rip Uncle kyalo


You were like a bother to us at clarkson university. I remember your kindness and joyful spirit.  My brother Patrick and I send our condolences. You will be missed. 

I worked with Kyalo over the years and of course respected his knowledge and work ethic, but I really wanted to share a funny experience I had with Kyalo.  His BMW was in the shop one day and he needed a ride after work, so he rode with me.  We were on the interstate when something flew at us from the other side of the road and struck my bumper making a loud noise.  Kyalo screamed and looked like he was going to jump out of the car. It was hilarious. He was always a joy to be around and I will miss him. I hope the family can take some comfort in the fact that Kyalo represented them well.  It was impossible to dislike Kyalo.

Kyalo was a wonderful soul. I only knew him briefly when I was in high school and he was a gentleman through and through. I'll always remember his wonderful smile. 
Nthekethas, you are in our hearts. Hugs to you all.

SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO OUR DEAR NEPHEW KYALO.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.

Dear cousin.
The Ondusye family will miss your warm messages on the family WhatsApp group
We looked forward to meeting you during our family get together.

We shall miss you .
Rest in power!
          *Dymph* 

*Farewell, Kyalo my son*

O, my son, my son, Kyalo.
Time to let you go!

Go in peace, son.
Sleep soundly.
You lived well,
You played your part well,
In the world you trode fast,
And you left footsteps 
For ever embedded in our hearts.
But farewell, son.
Sad to say,
Fare thee well my own baby.

Kyalo, noble 
Focused and diligent you were!
As generous as they come,
Your captivating smiles,
Were balm to me,
At times of want,
He offered me shoulder true and strong.

O, Kyalo, Kyalo my son,
Beloved you were,
And loving was your nature. 

He cared, 
He was strong,
A strong determined son!
I will miss you dearly.

He was caring!
Devoted!
Hardworking!
Indeed, a son,
Who, many a times,
Gladdened my heart,
More than words can express!

Oh, my son, my son, Kyalo!
I weep for you,
And I miss you so!
But time to let you go,
Go, son, go.
I release you freely,
Yet sadly.

Sadly yet joyfully,
I say in  echo the words,
*Kyalo was gentle and kind,*
*He was wired in such a way,*
*That nature can stand & say to the world,*
*'This was a man!'*

Can't believe this Kyalo, 
 You called me when mourning my brother Jonnie, we talked long and you said you felt the pain, you extended your hand to give him a be fitting send off,

Oo Kyalo, how I prayed for you to recover at our Bible studies, I pleaded with God to make you recover, but the Lord choose to call you home, no more pain, sorrow
Shall remember your hard work and giving spirit.
Till we meet again, rest in power
Cousin
Talu 

Fallen hero , fare thee well.

Back at Mamba
We shed tears,
On hearing our hero
Had gone for ever  
Fare thee well, Kyalo,
Fare thee well.

We loved you
And you loved us
With love that was sincere.

The Ntheketha family
Weeps for fallen Kyalo.
We look beyond & cry 
We will miss you.
But meet again we will,
Never to part again. 

Fare thee well,
Beloved and loveable
Kyalo, Sleep peacefully.


“Kyalo’s light shines on…”

My nephew Kyalo, leaves behind a light 
That will never be extinguished, nor grow dim
It’s kept bright by the love we feel
And the memories we made

Kyalo’s love for all people made him the person he was - a people’s person, who  loved and cared unreservedly.  His light  will shine on in the hearts and minds of everyone he interacted with as well as those he has touched but never met

 Rest In Peace , Kyalo,  your light shines on …
Auntie Margaret 


Kyalo was an honest, authentic, and generous person. I wish his lovely family peace during this time of grief. I will miss Kyalo's infectious laugh, curious mind, love for life, and love for others. I will treasure the moments we shared and our mutual love for reggae music. Gone too soon, but present in our hearts. Rest in Peace, friend.


From me and my family; I Wish Kyalo’s family peace and strength in this trying time. Kyalo RIP brother and friend 

Kyalo was a great friend, a big brother and a loving person. I will forever miss you dear brother. I am so saddened by this loss. May God comfort your immediate family during this difficult moment of grief.

Kyalo. You were a true friend from the times we shared in Upstate New York, Washington DC, Atlanta GA, Melbourne FL and eventually Memphis TN. We will meet again my brother. Joan and the kids will always remember you.  May you RIP and I pray your family can see the sunshine through these dark clouds. 

Kyalo my elder cousin,
We will miss you soo much am trying to recall back what you used to talk and advised me.God have given and God have taken my cousin rest in peace  .

Like many others, I worked with Kyalo here at TVA.  He was a very intelligent man and a hard worker but what I will miss most is his infectious personality, sense of humor and friendship. Gone too soon. My prayers are with the family.

Kyalo, my older cousin, brother and best friend. I will remember you forever and the family and I will forever appreciate you for everything you’ve done for us. I will always remember your kindness, sense of humor and intelligence. Rest In Peace. We will meet again and you’ll always be in our hearts. I love you endlessly. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

2013, Muscle Shoals, AL CT Engineering Group Meeting

To Kyalo's family,

I am so saddened by this tragic event. 

I worked with Kyalo for many years during my tenure with TVA. He was an incredible mentor and so much more a friend. 

He was always there to help and I will never forget him or his willing spirit. 

Know that this loss is felt across so many friends and much more than just TVA. 

He was a dear friend...

Dear Family,
My heart and soul pours out to you all during this trying time as you grieve the loss of Kyalo.   It kills my soul to see a young man come to this country and succeed only to have that ripped away from him by heartless, cruel people.  I met Kyalo many years ago when he first started with TVA as an engineer in the Combustion Turbine fleet.  He was great resource and extremely knowledgeable of the GE 7EA Units we have at our site.  Whenever we were at a loss as to what to do to correct an issue with these units.  Kyalo always had the answer or direction to correct the problem.  I will miss him terribly both as a dear friend and as an valuable source of expert advice.   My prayers are with you all today.

Matt McPherson


My heart breaks that I will not see your smile again or hear "Hello, my friend". You will be missed, never, ever, forgotten. Until I see you again My Friend..

Today and always, may loving memories of Kyalo bring you peace, comfort, and strength in the days to come. 

Kyalo I can't believe that you are no more but the memories and what we have been sharing will remain forever.
May your soul rest in eternal peace.
