Humphrey Mayanja, the elder brother of Jose Chameleone, Pallaso, and Weasel, has passed away after a battle with cancer at the Mulago-based Uganda Cancer Institute.
Chameleone shared a heartfelt image of Humphrey on his Facebook page, accompanied solely by his name and a crying emoji. Humphrey’s health issues came to light last July upon his return to the US from Uganda, where he experienced severe stomach pain and subsequently underwent extensive surgery.
Earlier this month, his father, Gerald Mayanja, confirmed that Humphrey was undergoing treatment for stage-four colon cancer, prompting the decision to seek treatment closer to home in Uganda.
