Obituary for Napoleon Potea "Nap" Kofi
Napoleon Potea Kofi of Somerville, MA, passed away unexpectedly on April 7, 2016. He was the beloved son of Edward and Cecelia Kofi, twin brother of Bruce Turner Kofi, and cherished friend to many. He is also survived by his siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Napoleon was born on September 18, 1987 in Monrovia, Liberia, along with his twin brother, Bruce. At the age of two, Napoleon and his family moved to the United States, eventually settling in Lancaster, SC. Both Napoleon and his brother Bruce attended the prestigious South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts & Humanities, where Napoleon was an accomplished tuba player and aspiring bass guitarist. In 2005, he moved to Boston, MA to attend Boston University studying Aerospace Engineering. For the next decade he called the Boston/Somerville area his home, building a rich community of beloved friends and family.
Napoleon, referred to as Nap by friends, was a true renaissance man. A self-educated computer programmer, Napoleon built an impressive career as a web developer working within the startup community in Boston. He was admired for his passionate nature and his dedication to a vast range of creative endeavors. A bassist in a funk trio, cohost of a weekly online radio show, electronic music producer and DJ, a staple of any dance floor, a daring longboarder, Napoleon excelled at everything he did. Napoleon is remembered for his magnetic personality, his creative spirit, and his remarkable ability to foster a vibrant environment of love and support wherever he went.
Family and friends will honor Napoleon’s life by gathering on Monday, April 11, 2016 from 5 to 7 PM at the Keefe Funeral Home, 5 Chestnut Street, Arlington MA, 02474, with services to follow at 7 PM. In honoring Napoleon, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made. (https://www.gofundme.com/ebxykd6c)
