At the time, Kennar was preparing for the 2023 edition of his Happy Country show.

Kennar moreover urged members of the audience to extend compassion and support to one another.
“Whenever you see someone smiling, take a moment to ask them if they are okay. Let’s be our brother’s and sister’s keepers. Love one another.’’
Taking to Instagram, Natalie Asewe paid tribute to their late son who passed away on December 11, expressing the profound pain of losing a child.
She shared a picture from her pregnancy, reflecting on the dreams and moments they would never get to experience.
“They say there’s no greater pain than childbirth, but I disagree. The greatest pain in the world is carrying and delivering a child that you never get to raise. I don’t just grieve my son, I mourn never getting the chance to hear him cry, to hear him speak, teach him to walk, and see him grow. “
