Funeral of the late George Ochwa Okello

My name is George and for those of you who share the humorous misfortune of having the same exact name as your parent (me) it can be a somber experience when the time comes to say goodbye to your parent forever.

George, my dad, passed away on September 6th 2025 due to Prostate Cancer and other health complications. And while I am grateful I was able to be with him in his final moments, it’s been really tough for me and my family.

My father was an inspired man - a political refugee from Uganda under Idi Amin, a passionate human rights lawyer, and someone who always worked tirelessly for his community.

He was also the first in his family to settle in the UK, and his wisdom and courage have always been a source of support for myself and my family.

Unfortunately he never returned to Uganda whilst he was still alive so we’re raising funds to repatriate his body to Uganda, so he can be returned home, as per his wishes.

We’re trying to give him the farewell he deserves, and if you feel able to help in any way, even a small contribution would mean a lot to us.

Thank you for your support.
George.
