Mdee eulogized her brother as a God-fearing and kind person who will always be missed and remembered by his loved ones.
“I could go on…because you were soo many things to so many people. And as I continue to receive condolences that I can’t quite process, there’s a consensus; ‘Adam was such a great, GOD fearing and kind guy’.
"That, my brother, sounds like a life well lived. The kind that makes you immortal in our hearts because we forever remember how you made us feel 🤍 and while we try to make sense of it all and it hurts beyond understanding - we continue to give thanks to God Almighty,” reads part of Ms Mdee’s eulogy.
She went on to quote the Bible, Isaiah 57: 1 – 2, which talks about good people dying even before their time.

“Good people pass away, the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or understand why. No one seems to understand that GOD is protecting them from the evil that’s to come. For those who follow godly paths will Rest In Peace when they die. 🙏🏽 In your faith you say Inna illahi wa inna illahi rajiun. Adam 🤍 7th April 1979 - 3rd January 2022 😇,” she shared.
