In loving memory of my husband

February 20, 2015
06 Take Me In

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

February 19, 2015

 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
