It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Joel Bwoge Maobe, affectionately known by many as “Mdosi.” Joel transitioned on March 20, 2026, following a tragic road accident along the Iyabe-Kerina Highway. He was a young man full of life, ambition, and a contagious smile that touched everyone he met.

Eagles Suneka Academy: Lower primary education.

St. Christina Elite & Nyamaya Primary: Completed his primary cycle with his KCPE in 2021.
Itierio Boys High School: Completed his KCSE in 2025 with strong results.

At the time of his passing, Joel was eagerly preparing to join college for the September 2026 intake, looking forward to a bright future.

Joel was a devoted member of the Mesisita Central SDA Church. He is remembered by his siblings—Shem, Ascah, Serah, and Rosemary—as a pillar of strength, a caring brother, and a partner in joy. To his parents, he was a “right hand” and a source of immense pride.
