    NAIROBI, KENYA — Popular radio presenter Edward Carey Kwach has died at the age of 44 while undergoing treatment for meningitis, his family announced on Tuesday morning.

    In a statement released by family spokesperson Michael Okwiri, the Kwach family confirmed that Carey passed away on the night of April 28, 2025.

    “It is with profound sadness that we announce the untimely passing of our beloved son and brother, Carey… He touched the lives of many through his voice and presence on the airwaves, becoming a trusted and familiar companion to listeners across the country,” the statement read.

    Kwach was a prominent figure in Kenya’s radio scene for over two decades, celebrated for his charismatic voice, sharp wit, and deep passion for music.

    He first gained recognition in the early 2000s, captivating audiences with his relaxed style and rich musical taste on stations such as Capital FM and later Homeboyz Radio.

    At the time of his death, Kwach was a show host at Spice FM, part of the Standard Group Media enterprise.

    His shows were known for their unique blend of soulful music, pop culture commentary, and humorous banter, which appealed to a diverse audience.

    Kwach was also a mentor to many aspiring broadcasters, earning him deep respect within Kenya’s media industry.

    He is fondly remembered not only for his distinctive voice but also for the authenticity and relatability he brought to his on-air presence.

    Tributes have poured in across social media from former colleagues, fans, and public figures, remembering him as a trailblazer, a friend, and a cherished voice that brought comfort to countless homes.

    “Heartbreaking. A colleague and a friend. Rest in peace Edward Kwach,” said sports presenter Carol Radull.

    Capital FM presenter Chiko Lawi remembered Kwach as a good man and a true friend.

    “He will be missed. He was a good friend. Rest in peace,” Lawi said.

    Radio personality Maina Kageni mourned Kwach as a broadcasting legend, stating, “Edward, I’ve said this oh so often, you were the greatest radio personality Kenya has ever produced.”

    The family expressed their gratitude to Kenyans for their overwhelming support during Carey’s illness, particularly those who donated blood and sent their well-wishes.

    They added that details regarding funeral and memorial services would be shared at a later time.
