Bremen, Germany—The community is deeply saddened by the passing of Kester Peters, a revered figure within the Nigerian community in Bremen. Known for his wisdom, cultural pride, and tireless dedication, Kester passed away recently, leaving a profound void in the hearts of all who knew him.
Born on July 1, 1969, in Imo City, eastern Nigeria, Kester moved to Germany in late July 1990, where he built a beautiful life. He became a beloved father and grandfather, known for his commitment to his heritage and his unyielding support for his community.
A fundraiser has been organized by Christopher Peters to help cover the funeral expenses and to honor Kester’s remarkable life. So far, €425 has been raised out of the €11,500 goal through six generous donations. The fundraiser highlights the respect and admiration that Kester garnered from the community.
Kester was a man of profound insight, often sharing his belief that there is always more to learn in life. His favorite saying was, "The worst thing in life is when you think that you know it all. If you think that you don’t need help from anybody, then you know nothing." He emphasized that humility and a thirst for knowledge were key to personal growth and wisdom.
He cherished many things in life: the color light blue, Michael Jackson’s song “Liberian Girl,” and the film “Flashdance,” which resonated with him due to its theme of perseverance through hardships. The poem “Africa” by David Diop was close to his heart, reminding him of his roots and heritage.
While he called Bremen his “paradise,” he never forgot his roots in Nigeria. He fondly remembered sharing meals with his family from a single bowl, a memory that epitomized love and unity for him.
His passing is not only a loss to his family but also to the broader community that looked up to him as a beacon of wisdom and culture. As the community comes to terms with this loss, they are rallying together to give Kester the dignified farewell he deserves.
We extend our deepest condolences to Kester’s family and friends during this difficult time. May his legacy of continuous learning, cultural pride, and community spirit inspire us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
