Help Repatriate Nicholas Telengech to Kenya

Nicholas Telengech, was sadly found deceased on July 14, 2025, in Canton, Ohio. Nick was 45 years old, originally from Kenya. He was a loving brother to Paul Telengech, Jenipher Telengech, Hillary Kibet Telengech and Sally Jeptoo Telengech. The cause of his death is still under investigation.

Nick’s body is currently at Rossi Funeral Home in Stark County, Ohio. Our family’s urgent wish is to repatriate him to Kenya for a respectful burial and to find closure during this incredibly difficult time.

We plan to send Nick’s body to Kenya on August 6, 2025, with the funeral scheduled for August 9, 2025.

As Nick was separated from his wife but leaves behind three children, the responsibility for all funeral and legal arrangements has fallen on us, his siblings and family abroad. We’re now navigating a complex and costly process involving coordination with the police, coroner, funeral home, and the Kenyan embassy.

We kindly ask for your support to help cover these urgent expenses and bring Nick home. Any contribution, no matter the size, will bring us closer to honoring his memory and supporting his grieving family. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean a great deal to us.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support.
