Former Nakuru Top Fry RFC player Kairu Kagia died in the United Kingdom in unclear circumstances on Sunday, March 31st. Kagia turned out for Top Fry until 1997 when he left the club for Russia where he went for further studies.
He later moved to England and joined Littlemore RFC in Oxford in London, aside he played for until his demise on Sunday, March 31.
“It is with much sadness that we have to announce the sudden passing of one of our players. K Kairu Kagia, known as KK will be hugely missed by all at Littlemore RFC, and we offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends at this sad time,” Littlemore tweeted.
“It’s quite a shock. We all saw him a week last Saturday at our last league game. He was very well liked and an active member of the club,” Littlemore president Tim Steven’s said in a statement posted on the club website.
His former side Topfry also mourned him terming him a selfless man. Kagia had returned to the country in 2009 and donated playing kit to Topfry.
“He was a selfless rugby man within the green patch and in the bounds of touch, as well,” Topfry chairman Mucemi said in a statement posted on the club Social Media pages.
