The parents of Larry Madowo include his father Mzee Madowo and mother Treazer Anyango Madowo.
Unfortunately, Larry lost his dad in 1994 and his lovely mom in 2001. He became an orphan at the age of 14 years alongside his only sister Liz Madowo.
The former NTV and BBC journalist recently celebrated his loving dad on the eve of Fathers Day.
“It’s been 25 years since my dad left this world. I was just a little boy but I knew he loved us and he spoiled us rotten. It was almost as if he understood that he wouldn’t be with us for long. The years after weren’t always easy but I think we’ve made him proud #HappyFathersDay.”
On the other hand, Larry’s blood sister Liz is a graduate of Moi University. She now works as a stylist and fashion blogger.

Elsewhere, Larry lost his grandmother Francesca Madowo on August 27, 2021.
“My grandmother, the family matriarch, our heartbeat, my comedy partner, the dearly loved Francesca Madowo has joined the ancestors. I am numb. My heart has been ripped from my chest. Light has gone out of my life. Nind gi kwe, min Omollo.”

The pain of losing a mom and grandmother within the same year, 2001, became a turning point for better education and eventual career in journalism.
