CHRISTOPHER SOREN AMBROSE

Our beloved Christopher Soren Ambrose, 57, died in the early hours of Saturday, December 5, 2020 at Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya while undergoing treatment.

Soren is survived by his loving parents, Larry and Karen Ambrose of Chicago, Illinois (USA), who are heart-broken by the loss of their only child. He is also survived by his devoted wife, Njoki Njoroge Njehu of Nairobi. He will be missed by his large extended Kenyan family, as well as hordes of family, friends, and colleagues around the world. Soren had an enduring love for family and a strong connection with young children — his nieces and nephews adored him and are bereft by his death.

Soren bravely and defiantly battled colon cancer since August 2017. He is remembered by family, friends, and colleagues for his dry wit and sharp sense of humor. His biting humor cleverly and easily obscured a sharp analytical mind, a tender, sensitive, caring guy whose deep and enduring commitment to the struggles for justice, peace, and dignity was unwavering. Soren’s love for Njoki was evident to all who knew him — he always spoke of her with fondness and obvious admiration.

A funeral service will take place at 11:00AM on Friday, December 11, 2020 at the Njehu Family Farm in Rukubi Village (Maina Road), Kabete Constituency, Kiambu County.

Family and friends are meeting daily at his Kileleshwa home and at the Njehu Family home in Rukubi Village.
