The late Minister and Ambassador Jiba Kabua’s remains were laid to rest Sunday afternoon at the family compound in Majuro next to the grave site of his father, first President and founding father Amata Kabua.
Kabua, 74, was the eldest in his family. He died from cancer earlier in the month at Majuro hospital.
A state funeral was held March 22 at Nitijela, prior to shifting the funeral to the family compound. He was buried on Sunday afternoon.
A final gathering, known as the “eoreak,” was held Wednesday afternoon to bring family and friends together a final time at the gravesite and for a meal.
