Rev Kathy Kiuna, wife to late Bishop Allan Kiuna, her three kids, grandkids and the Bishop's siblings have paid tribute to the Jubilee Christian Church founder.
Rev Kathy described her late husband a role model and one who showed love.
"Honey. I am trying to gather words to describe who you really were to me. I am still living in a dream and wish I could wake up to realize that is all it was - a dream Yet in reality, you've gone to be with JESUS.
Do you realize I have lived more with you than I have lived alone? I don't know how to do life without you. But I pray that the Holy Spirit will help me every step of the way. I miss you so much. our jokes. (known only to us), our laughter our love. You loved me loudly and I thank you for showing the world that an African man can love Iike Christ and show it. This broke the norm that African men don't know how to express love.
You became a role model to many and all your sons have obviously modeled after you. The kind of legacy you have left is for a man beyond your years.
Many said you had speed; it is now clear why, from a young age you were intentional purposeful responsible and we, your family, are reaping the fruits of your diligence. The responsibility on your shoulders was so great yet you carried it with so much ease. I will always love you. May GOD make your crown even bigger because you did well. Till we meet again.

Thank you for raising me up as a strong woman full of confidence and a thirst for knowledge. You showed me what to look for and expect from a good partner You gave me the perfect model of what a great father and husband should Look like. I never settled for less because of watching how deeply you loved us as your children and Mum as your wife.
Thank you for allowing me to learn how to feel, to grow and fall without fear of condemnation because I knew you were always there to pick me up. My relationship with GOD is not because I had to, but because you allowed me to know Him personally. You gave me space to question and you always met my questions in a way that I could comprehend and with unconditional positive regard.
Thank you meeting my interests as though they were your own. To say I am going to miss you is the understatement of the century. I will Love you forever and eternity.

You were the most amazing Dad and grandfather to me, my siblings and our children. You always showed up for us no matter the circumstances. You had our backs and encouraged us to be the best versions of ourselves.
Your strength was unwavering, your kindness boundless your selflessness inspiring, andyour love unconditional.
You were a father, friend, a mentor to me and my siblings. We were incredibly fortunate to have you in our lives and you will forever live in our hearts. Whenever we felt like giving up, you reminded us of our potential and taught us to strive for excellence, by being the best version of ourselves.
My sister and I sought partners who embodied your amazing qualities, and my brother aspires to be like you, reflecting just how incredible you truly were. Your legacy is one of Love, strength, and unwavering support_.
You were and always will be the epitome of what it means to be a great man. We cherish the memories we have and will carry your spirit with us always. Rest In peace. Dad. You will be missed beyond measure, but your light will never fade from our hearts.

Paps, my best friend, my center. You kept me stable in everything I did as your son and as my mentor. Being a great father is something I watched you do so effortlessly. You taught me how it is to be a man, how to love and how to be an emotional yet intelligent human being. One thing you always told me was that it's okay to walk with GOD in your own time. You taught me that everything has a season and I did not have to be the perfect son, and all I needed was to walk with GOD. One thing I am so grateful for is you helped me in my prayer life and , you made me love JESUS for myself. You didn't just leave a legacy. You left in me a spirit of unconditional love, care and forgiveness. I am so grateful to be called your son.
