Daddy, today make is a month since you left us and it still feels like yesterday. we miss you soooo much , xmas just wasn't the same without you this year. but i know you're  in a better place. continue to sleep in the lords bossom. Always in my heart dad.

Bros B, as I always call you, I am saddened as much as confused to sum up courage to write this tribute given the precursory events to your sudden death which remains unbelievable and daunting in my mind about life. This is moreso considering the fact that we had a lengthy telephone discussion a few days before and that you paid our aged mother a visit barely 24 hours before you answered the call. I have therefore found it necessary to refrain from committing blasphemy or sacrilege in any manner whatsoever in questioning why but rather be a source of encouragement to those of us left behind to remain unshaken in our faith in the ALMIGHTY. For, the book of Psalm chapter 150 verse 6 says : “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord”

As a son, brother, husband , father, in-law and shepherd to countless Christian faithfuls, you did well in your duty relishing discomfort as a personal  test and always acting in the greater interests of the family and those that came your way. We had in you a selfless, humble, cheerful and utterly reliable personality.

Not a few will attest that you were with a lot of charm who many look up to as someone they could aim to be like with a lot of hard work, being always enthusiastic and with an amicable attitude to life. This is evidenced in the meteoric rise in your episcopal career from a very modest beginning up to the glorious  end  which is being celebrated today. Your death no doubt is and will remain a massive loss which has hit us all hard.

Our consolation is that you served the LORD and died for him. We are pained though that you left our aged mother (who is ever fond of recalling how she labored to have you as her only surviving son after losing two male forerunners before your birth) to mourn your death. It is well. We love you but GOD loves you most. Goodbye, till we meet to part no more. Sun reo.

 

 

daddy, i will always miss you. Rest in the bossom of the lord.

In tears we saw you sinking, And watched you pass away. Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful, free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home.
RIP dad.... 

They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one else could fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane. I’d walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us back one by one, the chain will link again.

 

 

 I feel a part of me will always think of you as alive. I saw you in July 2013, you were so cheerful and jovial, pulling me by the ear (as usual). Who knew it was to be the last time? Only God. You are with Him now.  Sleep on, Uncle Bayo. Carry on resting with the angels. The Almighty One whose call you heeded will comfort and keep us all. It is well! It is well! It is well!

How l wish l could turn the hand of time and make him come back but its a saint now, fly with d angels
 

As days and weeks pass and with a very heavy heart it becomes inevitable to begin to accept that you are no longer here, I search deep within and words fail me. Yours was a short and blissful journey and those who came in contact with you will only know the void that your departure has created. Rest well uncle Bayo till we meet to part no more. Adieu!!!

writing dis in tears.when I heard dat Daddy is dead didn't believe it,cos i spoke wit him few days away,I tot d person was joking,till confirmed 4rm a rite source.its so painful,he left so so soon.I will surely miss everytin abt him.d smiles,wise talk and jokes.will sing dis song 4 him."TILL WE MEET AGAIN"by kirk Franklin.we love u bt God loves u most sleep well! sleep well!! seep well!!!.u will 4ever be in our heart.RIP.Sob.................

Daddy, when I had you died, it is like someone cut a piece of my heart out with a sharp knife. I remembered everything about you, your voice, your smile, the way you walked, the way you talked, the way you looked.

I remember all the words you normally say to me, some funny, some kind, some wise, all of the things you did for me, i remember every moment i shared with you, seems like only yesterday, It's really hard to say.
You are gone from me now, but your memory resides inside my heart…

If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane, i would walk right up to heaven to bring you home again. Daddy no farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before i knew it, what it meant to lose a father of FAITH like you, no one will ever know.

Thank God for the life you lived; i will always miss you!!!

Till we meet again......Goodbye!
