A Tribute to My Dear Uncle Tolu
It is with a heavy heart that I write this tribute, reflecting on the life of a man who meant so much to us all. Your demise was unexpected, and the pain of losing you has been immense. Yet, even in our sorrow, we give glory to God for a life well spentโa life full of impact and purpose.
Professionally, you were an inspiration. I followed your remarkable journey through your career at Odua, Epe, Ebun, Starmark, and Koinonia. Your dedication, excellence, and integrity were hallmarks of your work, leaving a legacy that will not be forgotten.
As an uncle, you were fun to be with, always accommodating and made every moment spent with you special. I vividly remember the first time I rode in a lift with you in Ebun House; it was an experience that has stayed with me. Your wedding at Oshinle is etched in my memoryโthe song, the joy, the gathering of family. You always knew how to make family moments unforgettable.
As a choirmaster, you were a beacon of leadership. It was a privilege to be under your musical guidance during Easter Cantatas, Christmas Carols, anniversaries, and even your 60th birthday celebration. Your passion for music, dedication to excellence, and ability to unite voices were truly extraordinary. You inspired us all with your talent and your heart for worship.
As a father, you were a pillar of love and support. You welcomed everyone with open arms and went above and beyond for those around you. You were there for every family milestone, including my children's naming ceremonies, always ready to give of yourself in any way needed. Your love knew no bounds.
As a pastor, you lived out your faith with humility and grace. In London, at Weekend Aways, and at various anniversaries, You led your congregation selflessly, pointing us to the narrow gate and showing us the path to eternal life. Your life reflected Christโs love, and your passing reminds us to strive for a Christ-like existence.
Uncle Tolu, you lived a life that measured up to the highest standardsโnot by earthly accolades alone, but by the eternal reward that we are confident you now enjoy. Your place in heaven reassures us of the hope we have in Christ.
Good night, Uncle Tolu. Your legacy lives on in the hearts of all you touched. Until we meet again at the feet of our Savior. Rest in perfect peace.
