World champion Julius Yego mourns death of his grandfather with a heartfelt plea

Back in June 2017, World Javelin champion Julius Yego let the world know that his grandmother had passed on.

His granny went to be with the angels at the age of 93, and his followers noted how she had loved a full life.

Sadly,  Yego has lost his only surviving grandparent. His grandfather passed on, and the world champion has penned down a moving message to his late grandpa.

Yego wrote;

Sometimes life can be that stressful ! Within a span of 1year we lost these great pillars of our family ! But it’s ok we thanked you for the great guidance and laughter we had together our grannies we say BIG thank you 

We will miss you forever but the gap will be hard to be filled though
