Your Absence Has Left an Irreplaceable Void – John Kumah’s children

The children of the late John Kumah praised their father as a “beacon of hope, a revolutionary thinker” whose absence, they remarked, has created an irreplaceable void in their hearts.

Huldah Boatemaa Kumah, daughter of the late John Kumah, who delivered the children’s tribute, affectionately recalled their father as a source of warmth, affection, and steadfast support to them, their mother, and numerous individuals who crossed paths with him.

“For us his children, there is no doubt that he was the chosen one of this generation, a beacon of hope, a revolutionary thinker, and a steadfast addict for his beloved Ghana. Today, we are gathered here with heavy hearts to bid farewell to a remarkable man. As we stand here in solemn remembrance, we celebrate a life that touched so many, a life that will forever be cherished in our hearts”.

“Our father was more than just a father, he was a beacon of strength, wisdom, and love. His presence filled our lives with warmth and guidance, and his absence leaves an irreplaceable void. We have not grown as children but for the years that we saw him as our father, we have witnessed the hundreds of lives that he has touched. As we reflect on our father’s life, we are reminded of his unwavering dedication to his family. He was a loving husband, a devoted father, a pillar of support to all who knew him, his love knew no bounds, and his kindness knew no limits”.

Huldah further depicted her late father as “a man of unparalleled courage and conviction,” asserting he “was not just a leader, he was a mentor, a guide, and a source of inspiration to all who knew him.”

The government and leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) attended the burial service of the late Deputy Minister of Finance.

John Kumah died on March 7, 2024, at the age of 45, leaving behind his wife and six children.
