Humphrey Mayanja, the brother of Jose Chameleone, passed away.

Humphrey Mayanja, the elder brother of Jose Chameleone, Pallaso, and Weasel, has passed away after a brave battle with cancer.

Humphrey had been fighting cancer for some time, starting last year while he was living in the USA. As his condition worsened, he was brought back to Uganda, where he received the loving care of his family and friends in his final days.

The news of Humphrey Mayanja’s passing has led to an outpouring of condolences from fans.

In a social media post from last year (2023), Humphrey shared his journey, recalling the moment he realized something was wrong.

“Not a pleasant picture. While at Schiphol airport, I kept falling asleep and waking up to intermittent fevers. I didn’t feel well, and I have never felt like that before. The flight was delayed, but after 10 hours of layover, I was finally on the flight to Logan airport. I got home safe (or so I thought). I got some rest, but when I woke up, I realized that my stomach was inflating itself every 5 minutes,” he wrote.

He continued, “This was so painful that I could not walk or eat anything. ‘My Best friend’ decided to drive me to the ER, I got diagnosed, and a decision was made that I be retained for further analysis. They immediately inserted a Nasogastric tube (very irritating process) inside me. Believe me or not, it was a tough experience. Anyway, it all ended in surgery.”

May he rest in peace.
