It is with deep sorrow and humble submission to God’s will that we announce the promotion to glory of Samuel (Sam) Ireri, which occurred on December 25, 2025, at UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, following a courageous battle with leukemia.
Sam was the beloved son of Rev. Dr. Stephen Ireri and Mrs. Mandrine Ireri, a devoted husband to Mary Ngugi Ireri, and a loving father to Chris Kathambana, Timothy Ngugi, and Sharon Wanjiru. He was a cherished brother to Mary (Silas) Muthuri and Mercy (Fred) Obare, a caring uncle to Kenneth Muthuri, Brian Muthuri, Sam Muthuri, Destiny Obare, and Favour Obare, and a dear nephew to Rev. Ayub Muthama and Bishop Ann Muthama of Pennsylvania.
Sam will be remembered for his faith, love for family, and unwavering strength during his illness. His passing has left a profound void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

The family humbly requests prayers and financial support to assist with hospital and funeral expenses, including arrangements to transport Sam’s body to Kenya for burial.
Daily prayers will be held from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at:
