Sean Andrew has mourned the death of his grandfather in a unique and subtle manner.

The death of the third president of Kenya was announced by President Uhuru Kenyatta today.

"It is my sorrowful duty to announce to the Nation the passing on of H.E. Emilio Mwai Kibaki, the Third President of the Republic of Kenya.

Kibaki lived a dedicated life of public service. We salute a notable father figure in the chronicles of our Nation. A leader who strove so hard and accomplished so much for his country. A Nation he so deeply cherished and served with commitment and an unbending will to improve the lives of our people. "

Uhuru noted in his tribute, "As we mourn this immeasurable loss, we recall with eternal gratitude President Kibaki’s patriotic journey in service to his country, which can be traced way back to Kenya's fight for liberation."

Sean paid tribute to his grandad by changing his profile photo on all his social media and replacing it with a blackout photo.

Normally using a blackout profile photo is a mode of protesting social injustice. But other social media pundits claim it usually happens when the user is depressed or sad about something.
