A man and his mountain. Mutombo never saw any challenge he couldn’t face and overcome. Legends never die. Their story will always live on. Rest easy big fella.

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.

This is what education, opportunity, and wealth is all about- servant leadership. Rest well Dikembe and long live the house of Mutombo.

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