Our hearts and prayers go out to the entire family.
Our hearts are one during this time because we are one family. However, because Jesus lives we shall meet again soon.

It doesn’t feel real, but it’s true!
How we wish it is not; how we wish it’s a joke
You cry, you pray, you try to boldly confess
But the tears won’t stop, like water, it flows on
What a terrible blow, so, so difficult to bear
Thank God death is not the final act or we would grieve hopelessly
Evangelist Okey, you have gone ahead
To the new and better life we all hope for
In your usual way, so unannounced you went
Too sudden, too soon
How we shall miss you; your ever so passionate charge to us
We shall keep the flame ablaze until we see again someday
Adieu dear brother, sleep well in the bosom of your maker
The one you served so valiantly!
To your lovely wife and children: What can we say?
Words will fail to express our heartfelt wish to you at this time.
May the comforting arms of the Lord keep you.
By faith we declare: It is well with you dearest Sister!
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so"
Evangelist Okey I know that death did not take you but you are just sleeping in the Lord till we meet in eternity. You are such a gentle soul and God fearing human being. We love you but God loves you more. Adieu my dear brother.
You have been such a good friend to me. Thank you for being here and praying for my grandmother's wakekeeping. I wish you were here with your family and staying with them. Bad things happen every second of the day. You never know what could happen anytime. Its a good thing that you love God so much. You are a man of God and he loves you so much. I know your family misses you so much and so will my family. But, always remember God loves you and we love you too. I will see you in heaven but for now we will all say our goodbyes.
Love always your beloved friend

Words are inadequate to express the void your absence has created within my heart with this reality.
Your humility knows no bound. Your love for Christ and family is unparalleled. We will miss you.
To Chinyere and the children, God is your strength and you will forever be in our prayers!

This then is the testimony of Evangelist Okey, big in stature and in his love for Christ, his family, his fellowship and his friends. Ever ready to preach the word in season and out of season. Lived his life as unto the Lord 24/7/365 in word and in deed.
We salute you Evangelist Okey for setting a fine example of Christian life, for finishing strong and obtaining the prize set before you. Sis. Florence, your kids and extended family we commit to the comforting arms of the One who created us all.
Sleep now dear Soldier of the cross until in glory we all shall meet again to part no more.
Adieu!
REST ON TILL WE MEET AGAIN(for we sure will) , MON PASTEUR, MY FRIEND, OKAS.

Cheers Oga mi!
In loving memory of my husband
I am blessed to have met Okechuku Ndukwe. We were best friends for years before he surprised me with a marriage proposal. There were no dull moment with Okas (his nickname). Okas was full of life, fun loving, playful, adventurous, very optimistic, refused to compromise no matter how bad the situation was, and got along great with everyone that he came across. Okas was an incredible father and my children were very close to him. As a family, I loved our yearly vacation trips we all took together. It allowed us to spend time together and made our relationship so much stronger.
okas was loved by his friends,colleague and family. He was very generous and kind hearted. My prayers was to grow old with him but God had other plans for him. 2 peter 3:8 says "...with the lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day..." for me, Okas demise is very unfair, i weep for a very promising future cut short too soon, but to God, the creator of time, a short period of time and a long period of time may as well be the same. i am thankful that i met a rare gem(okas) and i will never forget all the wonderful times that we spent together. He was always there when we needed him, was the most supportive and loving husband and father. His memory will live on in our hearts for as long as we live. Okas you were the best husband anyone could have asked for and i and the kids love you so much.
Okas passion for the lord is well known to those close to him. He ran a blog by name rhemasource.com through which he shared short sermons with his followers and he is the author of Christianity:The Tomb of Life. His favorite quote was "Love God, hate sin". Okas was an incredible man that no one can replace. It is difficult to put into words how much he meant to me and how much i will miss him. He leaves a legacy of love and integrity with his family. Florence Ndukwe.
THE MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART
OKECHUKWU NDUKWE NWOKEKA NDUKWE
As I sit here and trying to write this tribute, my heart is heavier and I can’t help but to remember that blurry phone call from Ukoha (IK) telling me that we had an emergency and that it did not look good. “Okechukwu (Okas) had a massive heart attack”. My first reaction was that you will be alright; after all you are a handsome and healthy man. Really no big deal until Ik communicated that you did not make it.
Only God can explain the shock I felt, the questions I had for God. Only God can grant us the peace, the hope to keep us going.
Okechukwu, you were such a special, modest, unique and a free spirited young man. You are my David, a man after God’s own heart. You always want everyone around you to be happy. You love peace and you brightened a room just by entering it. That brightness will never burn out. It will be around us everywhere we look and through the family you left behind. I will never forget your last BBQ at my house during your cousin Nkechi’s graduation party, we were all in the backyard watching you do your favorite activity (BBQ), then it stared to rain, everyone ran inside but you took the umbrella and continue to grill in the rain just to make sure everyone had enough to eat…
I am so proud to have been able to call you my nephew. I miss you so much, as does all those many people whose life you have touched. You were loved by everyone who knew you. Sleep well we meet again.
All my love,
Aunty Ego Ndukwe
