He admitted that the loss has left him with an aching heart and an emptiness he cannot comprehend, but vowed to keep his son’s name and memory alive.
“A pain no mother nor father should have to go through. Never in a million years did I think I would be making a post like this. Just one month after your first birthday, I was so excited about the plans we made. Life will not be the same without you. My heart aches for you, baby boy. Mama and Dada will always keep your name alive. Long live you, baby, my sweet Mateo Kariuki, my second born, my sunshine, my soul. Just gone,” he said.

King David shared that he will continue to seek solace in dreams of Mateo, praying for moments where he can feel close to his son once again.
“Life does not make any sense right now, but that is okay. I guess this is just a part of the journey God has in store for me. I may not understand now, but I need to be stronger than I ever thought I could be for my son. For you, Mateo. Baba will come to find you in every dream I have. Please come find me. Just hug me one more time,” David wrote.
He ended his heartfelt tribute with a promise to always look for his son in the stars and in nature’s beauty, calling Mateo his angel and asking him to rest in peace.
