His sudden passing has left family, friends, teammates, and loved ones grieving deeply while receiving an outpouring of prayers, support, and remembrance from across the region.
Born on April 26, 2008, Titus was a cherished son, friend, and teammate whose life reflected compassion, strength, and faith. Those who knew him best remember a young man who carried himself with wisdom beyond his years and a genuine care for the people around him. His name, deeply meaningful to his family, reflected qualities they believed he embodied—strength, guidance, and wisdom in the way he lived and interacted with others.
Titus was also known for his strong involvement in the rugby community, where he built lasting friendships and earned the respect of teammates and coaches alike. He proudly participated with the Northland Gamecocks, KC Blues Rugby, and SNU Rugby, where his dedication, sportsmanship, and team spirit left a lasting impression. On and off the field, he was admired for his commitment, positivity, and ability to uplift those around him.
As family and friends come together to honor his life, they find comfort in shared memories and in their faith. Many have leaned on Scripture for strength during this difficult time, including Revelation 7:17, which speaks of peace, healing, and comfort in times of sorrow.
