The young widow shared a photo of Ojwang, posthumously celebrating his 32nd birthday, just a few days after he was laid to rest.

The mother of one showered her man with love, admitting that his death had left a huge void and pain in their lives.

"Happy heavenly birthday, my love, chunya. Today, the world should be celebrating you, your smile, your laughter, and your big heart. But instead, we’re left with silence, pain, and memories that both comfort and break us. You were stolen from us far too soon, taken in a way no one ever deserves. We laid you to rest on Friday, but nothing about this feels like peace," she wrote in part.

Nevnina reminisced about the great memories they shared, describing the ardent Manchester United fan as the heart of their home, a great husband, father and son.

She vowed to keep the slain blogger's legacy alive.

"You were the heart of our home, a proud Manchester United fan (even though I still think City is better). I’d give anything to argue about football with you again, to hear your voice, to feel your arms around me. You were more than my husband. You were my best friend. A beautiful father to our son G. A rock to your parents and a light to everyone who knew you. There’s an emptiness now that nothing can fill. We miss you sana, painfully, every moment of every day. But today, we celebrate you. We remember your love, your laughter, your strength. We will keep your name alive. We will fight for your memory. Happy birthday in heaven, my king. Forever loved. Forever missed. Never forgotten. ❤️🕊️," she added.
