Kwofie met his untimely death on Friday, June 21, 2024, after his car crashed at Dadwen in the Ashanti Region.
The 35-year-old was on his way to his hometown of Dompim Pepesa when the unfortunate incident happened.
The former Ghana forward was reportedly due to travel to Germany to finalise a transfer deal before losing his life in the car accident.
His close friend Gideon, who was also in the car and whose wedding was scheduled for the following day, also died in the crash.
Kwofie was a household name in the Ghana Premier League, having lined up for Heart of Lions, Medeama SC, Bechem United and Ashanti Gold.
He was also recently on the books of Ghanaian clubs Legon Cities and Aduana Stars before joining Nepal side Birgunj United FC in 2023.
Kwofie is fondly remembered for emerging as the top scorer in the Ghana Premier League in the 2017/18 season after scoring 17 goals for Ashanti Gold.
