With loving memories and deep gratitude for a life well lived, we invite family, friends and colleagues to join us in celebrating the life of Barako Denge Elema, who passed on peacefully on 12 October 2025 after a prolonged illness.
Barako was the beloved son of Denge Elema Galgallo and Shanu Adhi Godana.
A devoted husband of Midina Bagaja and a proud father of their daughter, Arbe “Machi” Barako.
He was a treasured brother of Roba, Daro, Woto, Talaso, and Halkano Denge Elema.
Barako was a son-in-law of Qatu Qunyo Bagaja and the late Qunyo Bagaja Qatamur, a cousin, nephew, brother-in-law and friend to many.
Barako served with distinction at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Kenya, where his compassion, quiet strength and steadfast commitment to humanitarian service left a lasting mark on colleagues and the communities he served.
A private burial has been held in honour of his dignified life.
To celebrate Barako’s remarkable life, a requiem mass will be held on Saturday, 25 October 2025, at 9:00 AM at St. John the Evangelist Church, Karen.
All who knew him are warmly invited to attend, remember his legacy and share stories of the kindness and service that defined his life
