Mr. Kevin Zeatsa Njofie

Kevin Zeatsa Njofie was born on September 11, 1998, in Yaoundé 5 -Essos, Cameroon, to the late Njofie Peter Mingwai and Forlemu Vivian Anombondem. Raised in the neighborhoods of Elig-Efa and Nkolbisson (Onana), Kevin quickly became known for his openness, kindness, and deep commitment to all he pursued. From an early age, he displayed a vibrant personality and a generous spirit that touched the lives of many around him. Kevin began his education at Franky Nursery and Primary School in Obili, Yaoundé, and later continued at The Genius Centre Trilingual School, where he earned his First School Leaving Certificate. He pursued secondary education at GBHS Etoug-Ebe Yaoundé, completing both his GCE Ordinary and Advanced Levels in the sciences. His academic journey led him to the University of Yaoundé I at Ngoa-Ekelle to study physics, and later to the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Maroua. During this time, he also taught part-time at GBHS Ekorezok, offering instruction in mathematics and physics—further testament to his dedication to education and community service. In June 2019, due to political instability and threats to his life, Kevin made the difficult decision to leave Cameroon. His journey to the United States was long and challenging, traversing multiple countries in South and Central America before reaching his final destination in Atlanta, Georgia. There, he was welcomed by his family Dr. Neville Forlemu, Joyce Forlemu, and his nieces Nathan, Phoebe, and Courtney who became his anchor in a new land. Kevin adapted quickly to life in the U.S., taking on various jobs with determination and grace. From working at Duchess Café and Diamond Tire Shop to becoming a forklift driver and eventually a Service Technician with ICEE and Best Beverages (a Coca-Cola subsidiary), Kevin exemplified hard work, integrity, and upward mobility. He was a proud and active member of the Gwinnett community, serving as the Financial Secretary of the Gwinnett Veterans Club, where he was beloved for his cheerful demeanor, generosity, and strong sense of responsibility. Spiritually, Kevin was deeply rooted in his Presbyterian faith. He was baptized at PC Nsimeyong and confirmed at PC Nkolbisson. A dedicated member of the Christian Youth Fellowship (CYF), he was elected Vice President of CYF Nkolbisson and served as Zonal Publicity Secretary of the Nsimeyong Zone in the East Mungo North Presbytery. Kevin's character was defined by love, compassion, and a boundless enthusiasm for life. He was hardworking, creative, and deeply caring, always greeting others with a broad, infectious smile. His passions included football, music, dance, and most notably, helping others—acts through which he built deep and lasting connections. Though his life was tragically cut short on July 4, 2025, at just 26 years old, Kevin's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He is fondly remembered by his mother, Forlemu Vivian epse Njofie; his siblings, Njofie Brandon, Njofie Cyndy, and Njofie Precious; his fiancée Medie; and a host of family members and friends across Cameroon and the United States. Kevin leaves behind a legacy of service, joy, and inspiration that continues to uplift his community and honor the remarkable life he lived. May he rest in Perfect Peace. Amen
