About this campaign

We are saddened to announce the death of George Morara Nyaega, who died unexpectedly on March 22, 2015, in San Jose, CA, where he lived for nearly 20 years. He was 39 years old.

The family is still waiting for the coroner’s autopsy report to determine the cause of his death. A memorial service will be held in San Jose on Friday April 10, 2015, followed by the funeral on the same day. The time and place will be announced at a later day.

George was the younger brother of John Mobegi of San Jose and the brother-in-law of Angela Mobegi. He was the son of Mama Monica Nyanchama (San Jose) and Mr. Julius Nyaega (Kenya). He was the cousin of Kennedy Juma (San Jose) and Dennis Achoka (Fresno, CA).

George graduated from Vihiga Boys High School in Kenya in 1992. In 1996 he gained admission to De Anza College in Cupertino, California. After De Anza, George transferred to San Jose State University, where he graduated from in 2002 with a Bachelor's degree in International Business. 

Most of George’s siblings and other members of his family live in Kenya. Because of how expensive it is to travel, most of them will miss his funeral. To help raise the minimum $13,985.00 required for the funeral, the family is appealing to the many friends George made over the 20 years he lived in the United States. 

Please give George's family the comfort of knowing that even though they couldn't make it to America to say goodbye, their beloved got a dignified sendoff.
