Emmanuel was born on January 1, 1981, in Kericho, Kenya. He grew up in Kericho and later moved to Jefferson, Iowa, U.S.A., in 2008. He was the father of two children, Charlotte and Gideon. They were his pride and joy.

Emmanuel was a Civil Engineer. He graduated from the Technical University of Mombasa located in Mombasa, Kenya.

Emmanuel enjoyed talking with people and was a friendly face to many. He was a believer in Jesus Christ from a young age and is now at peace in his heavenly home with his Savior.
