      • Rest in Power Dr Abel Chemura, a friend and Brother indeed
        reactie 30   |   niet OK

        Last week has been one of the most challenging times for me, following the passing of my dear friend and brother.



        We connected deeply through our shared passion for agroecosystem modeling and simulations. From long conversations about coding and modeling in East Africa to jumpstarting this initiative together, our bond was more than professional it was visionary and personal.



        We spent meaningful time in Potsdam, and we were always online, working tirelessly to grow crops in computers and recreate the farming world through virtual reality.



        Life can feel unbearably sad and, at times, painfully surreal.



        My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.

        Abel, we love you wherever you are.

        A friend in Ghana introduced us during my masters at ITC. You were such a good energy, very approachable and willing to listen anytime. You were such a good company. It was as if we had known each other for years. We spoke about family, friends, academics, internship, etc . I am glad I met you. I know your family will continue your legacy. May the good Lord keep you. Rest well my friend!

      • Dr.Abel.. May your soul rest in peace
        reactie 27   |   niet OK



        It is with deep sorrow that I write this message, remembering Dr. Abel — a remarkable scientist, mentor, and friend.



        This photo was taken last April in his home in Twente, Netherlands, where he graciously welcomed us with warmth, humility, and joy. That day, surrounded by his beautiful family, he was not just a scholar of extraordinary depth but a father figure, a host, and a kind soul who made everyone feel valued and at home.



        Dr. Abel’s generosity, intellect, and humanity left a mark on everyone who knew him. His passing is a painful loss, not only to those close to him but to the scientific community and all the lives he touched.



        May his soul rest in peace. May his legacy inspire us to carry forward the spirit of compassion and excellence he lived by.



        With heartfelt condolences,

        Maram

      • In Memory of Abel
        reactie 26   |   niet OK

        I remembered your generous soul, your warm smile, and the sound of your laughter.

        You were someone who carried the true meaning of humanity within you.

        You loved learning and working hard, and you always believed in sharing knowledge.



        I still remember your words:

        “I will never stop sharing information with others. We should never hold back. Knowledge is meant to be shared, not hidden. I don’t want anyone to struggle.”



        May your soul rest in peace, and may your family and friends find comfort and strength.

        You left this world too soon.



        You’ll always hold a place in my memories—your humanity and pure soul left a mark I will never forget

        Dear Dr. Abel,
        I’m forwarding the email I sent on July 5th - just as I did then - hoping you had received it. I waited for your reply, never imagining that your silence would come to hold such a heavy meaning.

        I will never forget your support and the kind advice you gave to help advance my career. From the moment we met last year and began working together, I was truly happy to find a colleague who shared the same specialization, and who so generously offered his knowledge with that sincere and ever-bright smile.

        I had already started thinking about how much our collaboration could grow and had begun making plans with great enthusiasm. Dear colleague,
        I only wish we had more time to bring those ideas to life. I promise to continue the work we started, in honor of your memory and legacy.
        With deep gratitude and sorrow,
        Yours sincerely,
        Luma

        Mr Chemura was the reason I was able to study environmental science at Chinhoyi University of Technology starting 2015 , I showed up with an admission for a different program and explained to him why I wanted to switch , he listened to my story , was able to see just how passionate I was , he warmly explained what he felt might be a bit challenging to me without discouraging me ,over the years he was silently a cheerleader , messaging me on LinkedIn time and again to encourage me to follow my passion , use my voice !! Im so grateful for this life of service through a passion for people in academic field . My heartfelt condolences to his family .

        Dear Dr Abel Chemura,
        I am merely a student in some place on earth. Much like you, I am a passionate science lover, called a nerd for the very reason that I am still in the process of becoming a scientist one day. Reading your story so profoundly resonated with me that I tried to share some words with you. Even if I don't know you and you don't know me, you inspired me once more.
        I believe that if I had the chance to meet you, we would surely discuss teaching, research, and everything in between, given the way you have wanted to spread knowledge up to this point.
        It is sad to hear that you are no longer with us.
        May you rest in peace.
