We are all mourning his loss together with The Standard Media group which he worked for. Darwesh was a Student in Tudor High back in the Day.
Other media personalities are still yet to come to terms to the loss of a friend and a good coleague. This is what some of them had to say:
George Orido: Knew him before we became journalist: Working with him at the National Youth Health Outreach program in Mombasa as peer educators. Humilty , humility..such a rare attribute in the newsroom.
Larry Madowo: I'm gutted and heartbroken about Ahmed Darwesh. Rest In Peace, my friend. It was a privilege to know you. Shukran
Joy Doreen Bira: I don't recall one single day you didn't have a smile on your face at work or anywhere else I met you. Your humility was just admirable and your kindness unconditional.
Remember when I was pregnant with Ty (my son), you came to my desk every single day to ask how I was doing, whether I needed anything to drink or eat... and after he was born you continuously asked how family is doing. We joked about how I inspired you to get baby number 3. You cared. You mentored. You inspired.
LoftyMatambo: Alikuwa kielelezo wangu, kanichochea niwe nilipo,kanipokea Ktn siku ya kwanza,..kanipa Wosia:-.....,"babu ukiweza kumsadia mtu msadie haitokugharimu kitu...,lakini wengi huogopa kushindwa na wengine kwenye hii fani,usiyashike yao"..
Hassan Juma: R.I.P my bro,colleague,confidante and friend #Ahmed Darwesh,it is painful but we are all on this same journey,the journey to meet our maker
