Pa knowing you have been one of the greatest blessings to me. Your love, care, advice you gave me regularly change my life in a way nobody can deny it. Thank you
You left me with pain on that faithful Thursday when I heard that you were gone. You are forever in my heart. Good night my beloved father.
I was shocked when I was told that you finally left us. Before I left for the farm, you proved to me that you were fine.
You were more friendly than ever during your last days but how I wish that could remain forever.I will miss your open rebuke and your story. Farewell Papa.
I cried when I heard you passed on, but I blessed God when I remember the day we held our hands at Clinique Jordan as you surrendered your all to Jesus Christ and you were safe from that day death no longer have power over you. As apostle Paul ask O’death, where is thy sting O grave where is thy victory. (1 Cor 15:55).
My beloved father you live-on, you are my saint!!!
On that faithful Thursday, I was called that you will not breathing well. Before I could reach the house you had given up your last breath until then I realized how far I have gone away from you. I have now gain my consciousness and I have realized much I have not done well. Forgive me Papa and pray for me to carry out my responsibility correctly. Rest in Peace Papa.
“Uncle Muke old boy don die ooo.” These words felt like a dagger to my chest as I received a call from Paul Masango one of the grand children on that day. 12/09/2024, I will never forget what you took from me; My father, my friend, my chief … Hmmm.
Papa I never told you I was tired to carry you for medical checkup whenever you were sick but you left so soon.
I am consoled because you gave your life to Christ as Jesus say in his word; those who believe in me shall live even though they die (John 11:25). For this fact; we shall meet again. Rest well Papa.
It is hard to believe that the man from my childhood is gone to return no more.
I was 16 and you were 22years when we got married and lived together till that day that death stole you from me.
We have been working so hard to make things better for us and our children. But you left without us being fulfilled for what our children are today. Open way for them and keep on praying for your children so that things will get better for them.
It is hard to say Good bye.
When I got the call from Uncle Mukete that you were gone, I almost cried out my life. You were a light and my backbone because you always give me advice and support whenever I am down.
Grand pa, as my children calls you, I shall miss your joke, the story you were telling us and most importantly, your open rebuke whenever we do wrong. This open rebuke makes some people even within the family not to like you because you were outspoken and bold.
You left an empty space in me from the day you left. Pray for us and we shall meet again.
I am saddened because I don’t have father anymore. I am in a deep regret because I was unable to be by your side to carry out some responsibility when you were sick due to some financial difficulties I was facing. My father; forgive me and pray for us all. Rest well Daddy!!
Chief: A man of calm demeanor who was hardly ruffled, speaking less and observing more. I'll miss your calming presence but most of all, I'll remember the times we spent together. May your journey be peaceful.
It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Uncle Martin, who fought so bravely through his illness. His kindness, strength, and love touched the lives of everyone who cared about him.
Though he is no longer with us, his memory will forever remain in our hearts. I ask God to watch over our family during this time of deep sorrow and provide us with strength and comfort. May His presence surround us all, bringing peace that surpasses all understanding as we hold onto the love and cherished moments we shared with Uncle Martin.
Rest in peace,
Uncle Martin. You are so deeply loved and will be forever missed.
My earliest memory of HRM Chief Penda Martin Moleke III is one of love, because he made a point of telling me so. I was only a few months old, when my Uncle embraced me for the first time. One thing was for certain: Uncle did things in a big way when given the opportunity. He threw a huge celebration on my behalf, celebrating the newest addition to the family.
Some might assume that such a gesture was expected from an authoritative figure like him, but anyone who truly knew Uncle understood it was so much more than that. It was a testament to his loving nature and ability to prioritize his family.
It was Uncle who taught me, from a young age, how to make a grand entrance. He showed me the power of stepping into life with meaning, and undeniable style. Uncle knew the power of first impressions. I hold that lesson close, determined to make him proud by living boldly, entering every space with that same flair he always did.
I love you Uncle, and may you finally rest.
My late uncle, HRM Chief Penda Martin Moleke III, was a remarkable leader whose strength and wisdom left an indelible mark on the Penda family of Loe and beyond. Though I never had the privilege of meeting him, his legacy shines through in my mom, who often spoke of his kindness, humor, and the joy he brought to her life. She credits him for inspiring the brilliance and resilience she carries, and through her stories and warmth, I felt his influence throughout my childhood.
He was deeply respected by friends, family, and the community, not only for his leadership but also for his compassion. His presence continues to live on in the values and love he imparted, a testament to a truly extraordinary man. Uncle, rest in peace.
Pa, Martin, you have left a vacuum in my heart forever. You stood by me during my darkest and brightest moments.
Who will get things done again for me. Sometimes, you even slept on people's couch to get things done. You sacrificed your time and energy whenever I needed help.
You never let me see your disappointment when I did something wrong. You stood by me always. Your love was selfless.
You will walk every day from last town to up town to see us. Weh!, your love and care is something I will never forget. You always speak the truth no matter the circumstance.
Whenever I was sick, you would pray for me to get well. Thank you for the love and care you showed me and my family. The family will never be the same again.
My hero is no more. Rest well Pa Martin. You will remain in our hearts forever. Hope you have seen Papa, Mami and the rest of the family members.
I will miss your humor when we had several video conversations. I remember when I graduated from College in the United Kingdom and I called you for advice. You encouraged me to come back home and that there would be something for me to do. I traveled to see you but realized I could look for an alternate option. You have always been the strong Leader, Papa, Brother, and Chief that everybody would appreciate having around. You filled in the shoes that our father had left vacant since 1984 when he died. You represented the family well as the Head of the Penda dynasty. I know we loved you more than we could imagine but the Lord has called you home. This world is not our everlasting home, not for anyone on earth. As you have joined the rest of the family members who have transitioned to the other side, please we ask for your continuous prayer over all of us. We pray for guidance over the children and the family at large from all of you who have gone ahead. Thank you Papa and may your soul rest in peace.
Pa Martin, my biggest in-law (Moyo). I'm still in disbelief that you have left us to the world beyond. Although you were sick, I never thought the illness will carry you to the grave because most often you were always strong and conversing well. I remember when I came for my father's burial, you told me you could have accompany me to Mamfe if not of your illness. Am really saddened of your passing away.
However, travel well and rest in the bosom of the Lord.
Pa Martin, although we did not have the opportunity to meet you in person, we have witnessed you in our sister(s) Christy and Diale with grace, strength, love and a unrivaled commitment to serving others.
You served your family and community well and left a legacy that is unmatched. We are deeply saddened at your passing and know you are resting in the loving arms of Jesus the Christ.
In honor of HRM Chief Penda Martin Moleke
