On Saturday, December 28, photographer Abiud Wangu Maina died in a tragic road accident at Allsops along Thika Superhighway.
Friends sent messages of condolences and shock on his Facebook page - the same media he chose he sent his final message on.
In a heartbreaking note, Abiud noted that 2019 had been a difficult year for him revealing that he had been battling depression.
"Depression changes you. You may look the same but everything else is different, you act differently, move differently, you speak differently, everything about you is so different that you forget who you are," his message read.
He added that for people who aren't good at asking for help, depression can go unnoticed before it's too late.
"Some people aren't good at asking for help because there's so used to being the 'helper' thought their life they've experienced an unbalanced give and take, so their instinct is usually I'll figure it out on my own - the self-reliance is all they've ever known,"
The father of one apologised to the friends he disappointed admitting that he too was disappointed.
Recalling his previous week, the photographer stated that he was able to speak to his colleagues but no one noticed anything wrong with him.
"Last week was the best week for me I was able to stand before my workmate of 11 years I was able to speak my heart but one thing I learned no one notice my tired eyes, that's how bad depression is no one can notice depressed people act okay, but I thank God I got the opportunity to say goodbye," his message concluded.
