"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."
It is with profound regret and deep sorrow that the Nyema, Hne, Clark, Freeman,Tarty, Collins, King, Smith, Neal families announce the home-going of our beloved son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, Cousin, and friend, Richelieu Nana Nyema. Nana transitioned peacefully on Saturday, September 19, 2020 at the Deer Meadows Rehabilitation Facility in Pennsylvania, USA. Nana love the Lord, and he was a man of faith. Nana was driven, loving, smart, intelligent, fun, passionate, hardworking and a very resourceful man with a beautiful mind.
He who was so optimistic about the future, and was looking forward to retiring in June 2017 prior to his illness.
He was a loving, caring son, father, brother and friend who sacrificed immensely for his daughter, family, and all he met. He inspired and mentored so many, and was so loved, respected and admired by so many of his family and friends because of his genuine love for people.
Nana departure has left an unfillable void, but we are consoled by his beautiful memories, and the assurance that he is peacefully resting with our Lord.
Nana leaves to mourn and cherish his memory his amazing, beautiful, loving, devoted valor mother, Rachel Nyema-Pearce; his daughter: Nykerra Nyema; other daughters: Gigi Turtschi and Maria Bailey; His fiancee: Roberta Clarke; Brothers: Siafa Freeman, Lamina Freeman; other brothers: Barbington Freeman, Owen Christopher Freeman Massaquoi; Sisters: E.Wokie Freeman and Kula Freeman; Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and a host of other relatives in Liberia and the United States, not forgetting friends, some of whom have become very close friends and childhood brothers.
