[SAD] Former Artfield Institute student dies two weeks after his graduation

Like any graduate that has finally managed to topple the hustle of having to go through school to attain that much loved field of education, you would expect that now life is only fair and you should enjoy a moment of the time reminiscing on the hustle and loving the fruits that may come you’re way after getting done with books.

Barely two weeks after graduating from Artfield Institute and finally telling his mama how he finally made her proud in his hearty Instagram post, Brian Ampurira didn’t live long to see the lasting joy of a mother whose son has graduated.

Ampurira had just graduated on 27th August and like any fresh graduate, he was over the moon about his achievement which unfortunately didn’t last long. After being struck by malaria, he had improved but suddenly on Monday night began complaining that he was finding it difficult to breathe.

He was rushed to Case Medical Centre where his condition kept deteriorating till he breathed his last on Saturday morning. Shock and grief clouded his close friends and family who took to social media to mourn the fallen comrade.

When you ask about the late, a fine fun-loving dude is the description you get and one that never ends.

“Brian Ampurira was a people person.He loved to make new friends. He was always smiling, you couldn’t tell if he was sad or not. He had a passion for fast cars and a special liking for Subarus. He spent his free time playing games with his friends, car racing or basically hanging out. He was very loyal and supportive. He always wanted to help out. He was part of a number of charities. He was ambitious and a focused person. He was selfless. He was a very genuine person. You could always trust him and count on him. He was too many things,” a friend describes. 

The late Brian Ampurira was laid to rest today [Monday] at their ancestral home in Rukungiri where he was well escorted by family and friends. He shall forever be remembered as a friend that life took so soon with a seemingly bright future ahead of him.

Rest In Peace, Son, Brother & Friend. Farewell thee Brian Ampurira !
