TRIBUTE TO MY VERY DEAR FRIEND AND BROTHER, PASTOR ISAAC TOLUWASE EKUNDAYO MOGAJI ( ITEM)
As I write this tribute , I find myself grappling with a profound sense of loss that words can scarcely convey. It feels just like yesterday when we met in The Polytechnic Owo, Ondo state Nigeria back in 1980, two young souls embarking on a journey of discovery and friendship. Little did I know then that you would become such an integral part of my life, a brother in spirit and a steadfast companion through the ebbs and flows of life.
Your unwavering faith and commitment to your Christian values were a guiding light for all who knew you. You lived your life with grace, kindness, and a generousity of spirit that inspired those around you. You taught us the importance of love, compassion, and community, reminding us that we are all part of something greater than ourselves.
Your laughter, your wisdom, and your unwavering support will forever echo in my heart. I remember the countless deep conversations we shared, the dreams we dared to chase, and the challenges we bravely faced together. Your ability to uplift others, even in your own struggles, is a testament to your remarkable strength and character.
Now, as I reflect on the legacy you left behind, I am reminded of your soulmate and ever supporting wife, Foluke and your children, Mathew, Mark ,Luke and John. It is my fervent hope that they inherit your courage, your compassion, and your unwavering faith. You have raised them to be kind, strong, and loving, and I know they will carry your spirit with them as they navigate their own paths in this world.
While I am devastated by your passing on October 23, 2024, I take solace in the memories we created and the love we shared. You will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I promise to honour your memory by living a life that reflects the values you embodied.
Rest in peace, my very dear friend and brother. Though you may be gone from our sight, you will never be forgotten. Your spirit will continue to shine brightly in the lives of those you touched. I will carry your love with me always. Rest in love and peace Tolu, till we meet to part no more.
Your friend and brother
