Thanks and Praises for
The Life of Wachen

Wachen is my King and the light of my life. He taught me so much about love. Thanks and praises to Jah for giving me him, if only for a short while. I am blessed to be his wife. One love, Wachen, wherever you are, I'll see you in the stars.

Memorial information will be available soon....we are gathering names and numbers of Wachen's friends for a huge celebration!!!!!

Please call or visit our studio at 1146 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO, 303.415.0292.

My brother Wachen knew how to live. He had the courage, the heart, the wisdom to live well. You could hear it in his voice, see it in his smile. When Wachen showed up, things got better because he was a positive, peace-loving man. And a man with an amazing sense of humor, we always laughed as we talked about life. I am deeply grateful to have known him. Years from now we will tell the story about how the King of Angola was here, with us, for a while.

ONE LOVE MY BROTHER I HELP ALL THE PLANS, JAH' ALWAYS WILL GUIDE KINGS INSIDE BABYLON,STOLEN COUNTRYS START ALONE BUT LONG DREAD NEVER DEAD I'M LIFE I AND I RAISING AND PROCESSING ORGANIZING; AND STILL ACTING YOU HOW AMAZING, MOVEMENT I MAKE ON THESE ROCK CREK ENVIROMENTS,WITH WAKE, ELEMENTS AND APARTEMENTS FOR SLAVES, LIVEN CICLES OF THESE WORLD DOMINATION, KIMBUNDU. AZEKELEMANU'VIEIRA.

Although I never had the honor of meeting Wachen, his story touched me deeply through the writing of his wife, Jennie. My thoughts are with her and all Wachen's friends and family now as we continue to struggle for peace. Much love, Kayann

Wachen, I knew you for a short time but you really got into my soul. I was feelin' you. Our conversation on top of Lion's Head, playin' ball with the kids, taking us to the little hip hop spots in Cape. No Doubt. You are the true meaning of "keepin' it Real". C U When I C U. Jay B

Wach-man = what can I say God, U made it so far my man...but the True ending of the story will really be a happy one sun.For the 4 yrs I knew you, my life changed in a BIG way - we shared the kind of brotherly love only JAH ALLMIGHTY could have initiated. We shared food together, we shared hunger, pain, the joy of jokes, money, drinks, and looooooooots of good Sensi - the power-trees of life. Not to mention the other 'Powa-trees' (poetry) which was the ultimate revelation to me that You too are Original King of this Ancient soil, and true African child of the Sun. Your words were always genuine and motives forever pure, God.U my man for real Wachen, and me and the whole GroundWorks camp send YOU all the RESPECT and LOVE - MO'FIRE!MO'FIRE!MO'FIRE! JAH GUIDE PROTECT and KEEP YOUR SOUL FOR-IVER MORE... Jennie, keep your head up love - please keep in touch, your friend....Kgotso Semela (cilo) kksemela@hotmail.com 072-513-9823

I have started to draw the Lion with dreads that you wanted for your tattoo. It is beautiful and you looked beautiful in your final bed. Jen is doing well and is so strong, you know that. She is here with me now bouncing Cora. I will see you again Wachen. Goodbye Brother LOVE Kate

You were a true good friend for the 3 years that we knew you. The good times we shared will forever be treasured. Your vibrant smile and energetic personality was what made you the unique man that you were.

You will be dearly missed and may your legend live on through those that loved you. You lived life to the fullest and left your mark in this world!

Condolensces to your wife, family and friends. Rest in Peace my brother!

Your dear friends, Adelina, Barcelona and Ida.

Adeline, Barcelona, & Ida- I never knew you, but heard so much about you. Please email me at this website.

To everybody who participated in the 2nd Annual Soul Rebel Festival-ONE LOVE. It's people like you who make life beautiful. Wachen was there, I could feel him all over the place.

Much love and Peace, Jennie

One Love and say hi to Wachen for me.

Wachen ! although you've left your body We know that you're somewhere here with us smiling and inspiring us Gs don't know they could kill your body and not your soul! now that you're in a better place Gs don't stand a chance to get a ride through the milky way where your soul sleep everyday Wachen Brother of brothers and Sistas A luta continua !

Brother Wachen , I heard so much about you when you left Cape-Town and after two years I heard you left our world but your spirit is still with us, love and rest in peace and Jah bless you! Cheers from Paulo and the Rest of KingStone! GoD Bless!

Hello Jennie

The day Wechan told us he was living Cape Town, we were all like "Oh no, who we going to dance kizomba with,or whom will will we be chilling with when we just want someone to talk to?"

Wechan was like " You will always be remembered and have a place in my heart, don't worry I shall never forget my girls". We are honoured to know that he told you about us.

It was unbelievable when we heard the news that he had passed.It took us a while for the news to sink in, but we had to accept the truth that he is no more with us but his spirit will definately live on. Reading all the emails that have been sent through it is no surprise that he was a "Unique" human being.

Jennie we heard of you from his buddies in Cape Town and by the sound of things, I am sure you made a beautiful couple and enjoyed each moment you shared together.I am sure he definately loved you to bits. If we saw him, he probably would have said something like "My wife is a beautiful woman and beautiful person with his catching angolan accent".

Thank you for reaching out and organising some form of communication to let his friends pour their hearts out and give their condolensces to him because we all believe that he feels our aura eventhough he is in another place.

You continue to be strong and you will be alright. God Bless you always Jennie.

Kind Regards Adelina

My dearest Jennie,

I just wanted to let you know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you are feeling Wachen's loving presence at this difficult time and that you continue to spread your own unique love. You are an amazing women, stay strong and beautiful.

Love, Tessa

Kirk Palmer's trial is scheduled for March 10th, 2004 in Boulder. Come if you can.

Dear Jennie,

You have been in my thoughts lately and I just wanted to send my love to you. I hope you are doing okay and that you have found some peace in all of this madness. I miss you, and I can't wait until we can all meet up again one day.

Love, Reena

It's just been so long since anything new got put up on this website. I feel like I've been underground. Doing the major part of healing all alone, trying to figure things out. Sometimes its hard to think of Wachen. But I want to. I love him more everyday.

I am writing a story about Wachen and me. Someday, hopefully, you will read it.

Jennie,

I think of you and Wachen often at the holidays, when I find myself remembering those close to me that I've lost. Visiting this site is a comforting reminder that although someone may be taken from us in their physical form their spirit and love forever will be with all of us who were touched by them.

Much love. Dan

fondly remembering Wachen. such a short time to be here...

wachen rest in peace souljah give thanks. onelove

wachen rest in peace souljah. onelove

Wachen, I found a pair of your shorts last night when I was cleaning out some clothes. They were real refugee shorts. You had them when I met you- all tattered and worn. I don't think they've been washed since you wore them last. Almost three years ago now. I planted some flowers on your grave last week with grandma. It was too early for the marigolds, but the pansies are doing well. And the pachysandra Kate and I planted last summer is spreading. I love you love.

Jennie

Greetings Just wanna let you know how much i still miss Wachen i listen to his 1 song on CD which he gave me a few months before his untimely death, i pray we learn from this tragedy and can take time out everyday to listen to what each person needs and deserves and that one thing is to pass on LOVE & RESPECT for all Human Kind.

my childhood, that when the nobles and the citizens met on the king s birthday at the town house ball, that we danced by ourselves. ere not, then --42bb90831b44cab14cacda86ec5a1573-- .

not a day goes by that i don't think of you, king. i went back to boulder recently and went back to the mountain we climbed together. said a prayer for you. hope you heard it. i see your face in many, hear your laugh in some. i decided yesterday to name my first son after you, god willing, one day when he decides to come into my life. wherever you are i know you've found the liberation you have for so long deserved. much love to you always... and, like you always predicted, the turkeys have come.

I didn't know him but his story is amazing! We all must help stop the hatred!

Where do I put this anger when I miss you and get a letter from the state of Colorado telling me they're letting your killer go outside and be healed. What about you? What about me? God please take this from me. I want to be free.

I just found this site while looking for my playa. Jennie I pray that you are healing and Kirk will get his. I sorry about all. MUCH LOVE

Jennie This is wachen's friend that was from Tx. that stayed across the street from ya'll And next door to that Hoe Kirk.Let me know how you are doing. I love you and Wachen still to this day. After what happened it was hard for me to pick u the mike, But it's back in hand and you king(my brother) will live on through the way he touched everyone.

Hi Megill,

Thank you so much for your comforting words. It makes me feel better just reading them and to know that people still keep us in their hearts.

My email address is: jennievieira@yahoo.com

Peace and One Love Forever

I remember shooting hoops across the street with Wachen. Can't beleive that it's been almost 4 years gone. What a great person Wachen was - an example for all - and that big smile... Jenny, hope you're on the path to healing.

i lost your contact and have been looking for you for years. i don't even remember how i found this site now (it's only been a few minutes)- i think i am totally blown away that this existed all the time i was looking.

jennie,i wondered if- with your permission- i can make the film i've been talking about forever. a film titled: Underneath is the sun"- about wachen. and about u.

there is so much more that i'd like to say.about what he told me-which i kept in the front of my mind even before u two left. and that time we all lived in that house in mowbray.

i cried for days. i am so sorry. i hope this is not too late. and i've also taken the liberty of noting your email address-mine: tuleka1@yahoo.co.uk

It's been 5 years today since Wachen left us. God bless all of us.
