      • Dr.Abel.. May your soul rest in peace
        reactie 27   |   niet OK



        It is with deep sorrow that I write this message, remembering Dr. Abel — a remarkable scientist, mentor, and friend.



        This photo was taken last April in his home in Twente, Netherlands, where he graciously welcomed us with warmth, humility, and joy. That day, surrounded by his beautiful family, he was not just a scholar of extraordinary depth but a father figure, a host, and a kind soul who made everyone feel valued and at home.



        Dr. Abel’s generosity, intellect, and humanity left a mark on everyone who knew him. His passing is a painful loss, not only to those close to him but to the scientific community and all the lives he touched.



        May his soul rest in peace. May his legacy inspire us to carry forward the spirit of compassion and excellence he lived by.



        With heartfelt condolences,

        Maram

      • In Memory of Abel
        reactie 26   |   niet OK

        I remembered your generous soul, your warm smile, and the sound of your laughter.

        You were someone who carried the true meaning of humanity within you.

        You loved learning and working hard, and you always believed in sharing knowledge.



        I still remember your words:

        “I will never stop sharing information with others. We should never hold back. Knowledge is meant to be shared, not hidden. I don’t want anyone to struggle.”



        May your soul rest in peace, and may your family and friends find comfort and strength.

        You left this world too soon.



        You’ll always hold a place in my memories—your humanity and pure soul left a mark I will never forget

        Dear Dr. Abel,
        I’m forwarding the email I sent on July 5th - just as I did then - hoping you had received it. I waited for your reply, never imagining that your silence would come to hold such a heavy meaning.

        I will never forget your support and the kind advice you gave to help advance my career. From the moment we met last year and began working together, I was truly happy to find a colleague who shared the same specialization, and who so generously offered his knowledge with that sincere and ever-bright smile.

        I had already started thinking about how much our collaboration could grow and had begun making plans with great enthusiasm. Dear colleague,
        I only wish we had more time to bring those ideas to life. I promise to continue the work we started, in honor of your memory and legacy.
        With deep gratitude and sorrow,
        Yours sincerely,
        Luma

        Mr Chemura was the reason I was able to study environmental science at Chinhoyi University of Technology starting 2015 , I showed up with an admission for a different program and explained to him why I wanted to switch , he listened to my story , was able to see just how passionate I was , he warmly explained what he felt might be a bit challenging to me without discouraging me ,over the years he was silently a cheerleader , messaging me on LinkedIn time and again to encourage me to follow my passion , use my voice !! Im so grateful for this life of service through a passion for people in academic field . My heartfelt condolences to his family .

        Dear Dr Abel Chemura,
        I am merely a student in some place on earth. Much like you, I am a passionate science lover, called a nerd for the very reason that I am still in the process of becoming a scientist one day. Reading your story so profoundly resonated with me that I tried to share some words with you. Even if I don't know you and you don't know me, you inspired me once more.
        I believe that if I had the chance to meet you, we would surely discuss teaching, research, and everything in between, given the way you have wanted to spread knowledge up to this point.
        It is sad to hear that you are no longer with us.
        May you rest in peace.

      • Heartfelt condolences
        reactie 20   |   niet OK
        Dear Abel and family,
        “Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone” are words that came to my mind when hearing the sad news about your passing on. While these lines originate from a song by Joni Mitchell about environmental concerns, it reflects how easily we take things for granted and only realize the value when it is not there anymore. I feel having taken for granted having a wonderful, bright, and humorous colleague. While we never collaborated very closely, I enjoyed your company in the department as an independent thinker with great ideas and with lots of empathy towards your colleagues and students. Although we don’t know what is on the other side, I like to believe that your laughs and friendliness will continue to inspire. In any case, you will live on through the memories of many. I wish your family a lot of strength in dealing with this loss.

      • With Deepest Sympathy for the Loss of Abel Chemura
        reactie 19   |   niet OK
        I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Abel Chemura. I had the joy to start with Abel on the sectorplan 'Earth and Environmental Science' and to do parts of our UTQ together.
        Abel wasn’t just a talented researcher in crop modeling; he was also a gifted communicator who cared deeply about education. Beyond his professional brilliance, he was simply a wonderful person to be around—kind, approachable, and humorous. His passing leaves a void, but I’m grateful for the time we shared.
        My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who knew him.
        With warmth and sympathy,
        Rosalie

        Dear Abel,
        How can you have been taken from us so soon? I barely had time to get to know you, but the time we had together was well spent. I immediately loved talking with you - your humor, your enthusiasm, your seriousness. You were open to discuss everything, from how to recruit a PhD student to studies in your beloved Zimbabwe. We had plans to work together on all kinds of fantastic projects there: How will I do these without you? You have left quite a gap.
        My thoughts are with your family.
