Emmanuel Mberede was a man whose warmth, smile, and laughter had a way of lifting everyone around him. He spent over 12 wonderful years as a beloved member of the Kroger family, where his kindness and joy touched countless lives. Emmanuel passed away at the age of 67 on February 20th, and his loss is deeply felt not only by his Kroger colleagues but also by the Roswell community, who cherished every interaction with him.

Emmanuel is survived by his devoted wife, Regina, with whom he shared 32 beautiful years of marriage, and their two children whom they are in the process of adopting from Nigeria. Soon, Emmanuel will make his final journey home to Nigeria, where he will be laid to rest in the soil of his ancestors.
