A great loss, to the world and all who knew him, and it was truly a privilege to have known Oribi. May he and those close with him find peace.
Oribi had an unique and powerful vibrational energy that I will always remember him for.

I truly hope that he knew and understood how supported and appreciated he was.

Rest well,dear kind-hearted Oribi.

May the God of all comfort continually comfort the hearts of the ones you left behind,Amen.

Oribi man, it breaks my heart having to write this so early, seeing as you were a young vibrant man with a future of many possibilities well ahead. It still feels like I am still living in a bad dream. The type where I cannot wait to wake up from.

I have so many memories of you. One where we go to get drinks as kids and you pay for everyone, unprovoked. That was exactly the type of person you were -the one who looked out for everyone. Others where we always came to your house to chill and then go swimming or how we went swimming and then came to your house to chill. You were probably one of my favourite neighbours. How even being separated miles apart you kept pushing me to self develop and improve. I remember first subscribing to Spotify because you kept sending me podcasts. 'You should listen to this. It will help you write better.'

I remember our last conversation on your birthday. It's one of the few things I can hold on to now. How you spoke about God. How your life from your account seemed to have a renewed meaning. How does one find meaning in life and then go on to die almost immediately? For some reason, I don't understand this. I do not see how I am writing this.

This doesn't make any sense and I have examined it for many days now. Yet I refuse to reimagine the details of how you may have gone. No one should have to die like that if they must die. So this is how I choose to remember you: athletic, energetic, bubbling, full of life and compassion for self and others. People are saying all kinds of beautiful things about you and they are right. Thank you for crossing paths and sharing snippets of your life with everyone.
I loved to see the joy with which you worked. The joy you shared with your wife and both of your families. You were a wise man full of energy . Rest in Gods care brother
God Bless you dearly during this time. Praying for peace of heart and mind for all of the Kontein Family and Circle of friends. 
-His always smiling
-His positive attitude to make things work when it seems tough.
