Speaking from their home in the village, she reminisced about life with her husband, describing him as a hardworking man who carried his responsibilities everywhere he went—including on his phone.
Rozy recalled that even though they loved each other deeply, they also had their small arguments just like any other couple. One of the most common disputes, she shared, involved her husband’s phone.
Amimo’s work as a radio presenter and community coordinator meant that he was constantly responding to calls and messages, even late into the night.
“There were days we argued because he always held his phone,” she said softly.
“Even if he came home at three in the morning, the first thing he reached for was his phone. I would tell him to rest, but he would say the phone was his office. He told me I would one day understand why he never put it down.”
Rozy said she now sees the truth in his words. After his death, she realised how much he was handling, how many people depended on him, and how much he carried quietly on his shoulders.
Despite the busy schedule, she described their home as a warm place filled with laughter, dreams, and plans for the future. According to her, December was meant to be one of their busiest months.
Festus had outlined several events he intended to attend and had big visions for the coming year. She noted that her husband was already planning far into 2026.
“He had so many dreams,” she said, her voice heavy with emotion.
“He left home that day with a packed schedule. Only God knew he wouldn’t return. I have learned from his passing that life should be lived one day at a time.”
Rozy also spoke fondly about the small details of life that meant everything to them—like what he preferred to eat.
She revealed that he loved meat and that she always called him “dad,” a name he cherished. He would often insist she never stop calling him that because it made him feel loved.
“I would ask him, ‘Dad, what should I cook for you?’ and he always said he wanted meat,” she recalled with a faint smile.
“He loved good things, neat things, beautiful things. That was who he was.”
Away from their personal moments, many Kenyans have been praising Amimo’s accomplishments, especially the magnificent home he built in his village.
Photos of the modern mansion circulated widely online after his passing, with many people commending him for his dedication and his ability to give his family a comfortable life.
The house, with its clean design and impressive finish, became a symbol of the effort he put into securing a bright future.
Friends, colleagues, and public figures who visited the family described Amimo as a dependable man who always kept his word. They said he was the kind of person who made time for others, even when overwhelmed with work.
His colleagues at Mayienga FM remembered him as disciplined, passionate, and deeply committed to his listeners.
