Martin Thabo Mokwena

Martin was one of my sisters best friends and in a way he was like a brother in the Yellowknife community to me. He never neglected to say hi or to have a conversation just to catch up and see how I was doing. He really cared about my sister Lindsay and he always kept an eye out to see if I was around in town. A couple of weeks before his passing I had bumped into him on my way home from work, he ended up greeting me and we talked the whole way home. By the time I got home he took out his wallet to give me 10$ to go get coffee or something just because we hadn’t seen each other in a while. I’ll always remember that day and I’ll always remember him as a giving and kind person. May he Rest In Peace.
