It was an atmosphere marked by repeated sessions of weeping and sad faces depicting people, who felt dejected, shocked and overwhelmed with many unanswered questions about life. The venue was beautifully set up with a touch of class and detail for every bit of decoration. Wofa K.K's pictures were hugely displayed at several parts of the venue with others embossed all over the canopies. Many sympathisers were clad in custom-made funeral prints having the late Kwabena Kwakye's picture on them.

The central theme in the tributes is his love for the things of God, selflessness, benevolence and good human relations. Bishop Boakye Acheampong, Accra East Regional Overseer, Resurrection Power and Living Bread Ministries International,?d uring his sermon, urged everyone to live for God and always give Him first place in their lives. He said many people were struggling to find their feet in life because they had abandoned God's word and embraced other belief systems outside the Christian faith.
