Bachoke Kitumaini was born on January 1, 1976, in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, to Balika Chirimwami Ephreme and Furaha Bihogo. He was the firstborn son in his family and was blessed to have both of his parents with him throughout his life.

Bachoke attended Nyamokola Birava High School. In 2000, he married his beloved wife, Atosha Bahati, in Tanzania through a traditional wedding ceremony. Together, they built a loving family and shared a life filled with memories, love, and devotion.

Bachoke was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend. He was the proud father of ten children and grandfather of seven grandchildren. Five grandchildren survive him, while two grandchildren preceded him in death.

As the firstborn son of his family, Bachoke held a special place among his seven siblings. His presence and role within the family were deeply meaningful, and his memory will remain a lasting part of the family he loved.

Bachoke passed away peacefully on September 19, 2026. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Atosha Bahati; his ten children; five surviving grandchildren; his parents, Balika Chirimwami Ephreme and Furaha Bihogo; his seven siblings; extended family; and many friends and loved ones who will continue to cherish his memory.

Though his life on earth has come to an end, the love he shared and the family he helped build will remain his lasting legacy. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by those who knew and loved him.

May his soul rest in eternal peace
