The Medical Students’ Associations of Kenya (MSAKE–Kenya) mourns alongside the Aga Khan University student community following the tragic passing of Ian-Sebastian Gakunju Gikonyo, a first-year medical student, who untimely lost his life in a swimming accident earlier this month.

Ian, fondly known to many as FutureMDSebastian, was a passionate and vibrant young medical student whose presence extended far beyond the lecture halls. He was a dedicated medical content creator, a budding tech enthusiast, and a young individual whose authenticity, curiosity, and warmth were deeply admired and loved by many. Though early in his medical journey, Ian had already begun to leave a meaningful mark on those around him.

This loss is profoundly felt within the Aga Khan University community and across the wider MSAKE–Kenya family, as we grieve the passing of a promising future healthcare professional whose enthusiasm and drive reflected the values of innovation, service, and compassion.

We extend our deepest condolences to Ian’s family, friends, peers, mentors, and the entire Aga Khan University community during this incredibly difficult time. We stand together in grief, holding space for collective mourning, reflection, and healing.

May his soul rest in eternal peace. Let us remember Ian for the passion he carried, the knowledge he shared, and the inspiration he gave to many.

As one,

Jared Ronoh
President and Secretary General 2025/26,
