I met Mutombo about 15 years ago at my son’s college graduation in Daytona Beach Florida, he sent his nephew there to school, my family and I took pictures with him, he was friendly, kind and nice !! A wonderful man who will live on in my family’s memories !! Praise the Lord for the messages of love ❤he left us and his village.

The Giant with a Big smile!!! Rest in Power Mount Mutombo.

[@spiritedcreature]

Dikembe Mutombo was a real MENCH. But look at the Hospital, and the dire way the people are living, and more so dying. Were are all the hospitals and schools and more that all the countries raping their land for the riches to be used in batteries. So bad! Now this fierce hearted man is gone. But he will never be forgotten. RIP

[@camillec1541]

God bless the eternal soul of this man...REST IN POWER AND PEACE MY DUDE❤🤘🏾

[@LaRoyDen]

RIP Dikembe. Grew up watching him. I always thought he was from Senegal or a more tamed place than what’s now the DRC. $3mil. I just can’t help but think that almost all of that money was siphoned off by corruption and almost non of it used for the hospital. Great man who like most people on earth were unfortunately born into tragic lives. I hope the relatives he adopted made something of themselves and didn’t waste the 1/8billion shot they were given.

[@MarkHunter-y9c]

Rest In Power Good Sir..🫡 🙏🏾🌹🙏🏾🌹🌍🌹🙏🏾🌹🙏🏾

[@nicolaszyx3120]

[@cgmoran91]

RIP. This was 20 years ago. He succeeded in building the hospital. He named it after his father.

To see even a multimillionaire to be wary of mentioning the people who are responsible for his mothers death puts really in perspective what the locals feel about the said "civil unrest."

[@haroldfrets5468]

Sadly that most likely his hospital will go to the ground as we know how these politicians on Africa work.....well politicians everywhere on earth to be real....

[@willjohn4286]

The hospital been open it’s named after his mother . Now with him passing away funding for the hospital will probably go in the pockets of criminal politicians and corrupt doctors.

[@jomohector5274]

🤬Cancer!!!
