In an African text, there is little vocabulary that gives one a chance to make death proud.
And even one was a society reject, his or her demise is always glorified by the mourners. Those who wish to glorify normally do it in low tones, or just keep it into their hearts.
For the late John Macharia, it was the wish of his dad to be given a humble burial by his late son but sadly he will bury the young man.
It is more painful to the mother than you might think.
Among his close family relatives, his sudden death painfully cut through their hearts like a hot knife through butter.
As the rest of Kenyans wished a word of encouragement to the family and relatives, some not so humble Kenyans thought opposite.
Below are some of the tweets which seemed to make death proud

Those rejoicing the demise of John Macharia in pretext that money can't buy life, can poverty buy life? We all suffer the same fate. Be humble & respect the dead. Humanity first. #RIPJohnMacharia pic.twitter.com/2r3n1jU9rn

Some Kenyans are just trash. You can't be celebrating John Macharia's death. Ati "money can't buy life" what has your poverty earned you? What kind of misery would you be wallowing in to celebrate death just because the victim occupied a different stature im society? Pathetic.
