Tuesday, December 23, 2025 - Media personality, Jacque Maribe, is mourning the loss of her father, Mwangi Maribe, who passed away after a long battle with cancer.
The heartbreaking news was shared by Jacque on her social
media platforms, where she expressed the depth of her grief and the close bond
she shared with him.
“Now what do I tell a man like you? The definition of
perfection. I do not know how I will live without you, dad, but I know you are
not in pain.”
“I love you with everything in me,” she wrote.
Tributes have since poured in from friends, colleagues, and
members of the public. Digital strategist Dennis Itumbi described Mwangi as “a
father so solid,”
“Asante sana my friend Jacque Wanjiru, for introducing me to
Mzee MARIBE. A FATHER so solid. His Love is captured in a photo that speaks,”
he posted.
Lawyer Wahome Thuku, who defended Jacque in court,
remembered Mwangi as a man whose legacy will remain a lesson to parents about
standing by their children.
"Mzee has rested but that legacy will remain.”
“A lesson to parents to support our children at their lowest
moment.”
“And to fight to the last day of our lives. Go well Mr
Maribe, my condolences to Jacque and your family,. relatives and friends,"
said Wahome Thuku.
Mwangi was widely recognized for his visible support of
Jacque during her involvement in the high‑profile Monica Kimani murder trial in
2018, where she was eventually acquitted.
Throughout the proceedings, Mwangi was often seen by her side, offering strength and reassurance.
