'Kantai will never be forgotten' Wife speaks for the first time after burial

The late Kantai will be remembered for his great music by his fans but for his wife, Irene, there is much more to him than the music.

In an exclusive interview with Word Is, she says she was his biggest fan to a point she could not wait for a song to be released, she actually made it a point to always go to the studio and listen to each and every song.

Sometimes I would go with him to the studio when he’s recording or sometimes I would pick him up. And on our way home and we would listen to the music. In fact, I listened to all his songs. Every day I had to pass by the studio to listen and understand his music

Irene remembers one of the saddest days of her life, when she received the news about her hubby’s death.

I was at home when I was called at 7 am and by 7:30 am I was in the hospital. I was told Chris (a special name I gave him because the family has so many Kantai’s) had breathing problems but by the time I got there, I found him already dead despite rushing to the facility. Kantai will never be forgotten

She said that day is still very fresh in her mind. Reliving that moment is really hard for her.

The mother of one mentioned that Kantai may be dead but his memory will forever live on. In fact, she recalls a few things he did that will never escape her mind.

Kantai used to make dinner for me and my daughter almost every day. Chicken and fish filet were his favorite meals. He also rapped for us almost every night and even dedicated songs to me which we then sang together. He was a loving and caring man who made sure I was always comfortable

More to that she will remember his personality as a family man who was caring and very loyal.

The couple was very close. The young widow said she used to refer to Kantai as her ‘best friend,  ‘A man she could tell everything’.

Her last words to her late husband were; “Kantai will never be forgotten. We love him and we have his music so we can listen to him any day any time”
