Ngia Paddy,
Today May 1st, marks your birthday.
Thinking about it right now, I don't even know if
you would have celebrated it or even thought about it.
But what I know for sure is the fact that you would have added value to one more life in the family.
Happy birthday to a belated soul and hero.
May your spirit continue to guide and protect us in
Jesus Name. Amen. I miss you dearly

Perhaps you were shocked and mourned with us.
Or sat quietly on a chair.
Perhaps you prayed or sent a funeral spray.
If so, we felt and saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words,
As any friend could say.
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us on that fateful day April 18, 2014.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so very much.
Whatever the part.
Our Love & Gratitude.
Khien, Chi(RIP), Fru, Nche, Anye

Peut-être vous n'étiez pas du tout,
Juste nous pensée en se jour fatidique Avil 18, 2014.

Nous vous remercions infiniment.
Quelle que soit la partie.

You are gone from us but never forgotten.
The memories of this fateful day April 18th 2014 hurt me so bad.
I may be depressed or cheerful, it makes no difference.
So long!! ( RIP)
You are always in my mind and prayers.
How will my first visit home after all this drama be? Who will pick me up at the airport? Why Why why? Because we are Christians, I will stop questioning and Thank Jehovah for live and for death. Go in peace and of course RIP.
Your wife, sister in-law and daughter

I love you always,

Adieu CHE NICO AWASOM"
Daddy, and my baby brother, there is a void that will not be filled, I love you very much But I guess God love you more. This is too soon...
Adieu daddy and my angel Ndah-Nde Kimbeng.
Marceline Nkwenti"
I love you always,
Mama Debora Wara.
where do i start from telling you goodbye? so i will never see that your smile again physically? you called and asked me about my plans for the future and that i should always call and keep you inform and that i should look for time to come to Douala but i guess i took it for granted i knew u will always be here. now u are gone and i am filled with regrets. i hope you are happy now at your father's side.
i have so much to tell u and it breaks my heart that u are gone. i cant believe i will never hear ur voice again. or see you sneaking into the house from school. i wish u were not gone i wish i could see you just one last time. but i know that will not happen at least not in this life. you were so young but i know God is taking care for u now. stay well and dont forget to pray for us
Sincere condolences from our family to yours.
What a way to exit this world? But do we have any control? Only God does and knows how. At this very difficult moment for the family, I pray that God provides wisdom, comfort and strength that only him OUR FATHER Can provide.
Ngia Patrick, when I got the phone call about your untimely death through a ghastly motor accident, I was filled with rabid rage. Instead of accepting it, I was looking to apportion blame to sooth my anger, frustration and despair. Rage at a country that has death traps as roads, drivers that speed as if they are on express mission to hell. Looking to apportion blames will not bring you and our son back to life here on earth.
I now choose to celebrate your life and look back at the memorable times we had and the great plans and encouragement that you gave us all your junior ones. I remember the last time we met at the airport and you told me "go get the education and exposure and come back so that we can develop our country and village. Since then I have been trying to get the exposure and acquire what it takes to come home and continue our projects. We kept in touch regularly via email and you gave continuously of your time and advice on agricultural projects, real estate development and more, Thank you for all the advise and inside knowledge about Macuda and general business stuff on the home front. You shared so much with whoever wanted to know. Thank you for being there for us as a big brother as it seldom occurs to me that we are in-laws for I have known you from way back. You have done your part and fought the good fight. The Lord wants you by his side to rest and continue interceding for us from beyond. Thank you for giving so much of your self to your family, your community and your country. We mourn your transition to glory but rejoice in the opportunity we had to spend with you on earth. You have impacted so many lives and truly it is not so much the length of time you stay on earth but the lives you touch and impact positively. We will treasure your memories for a longtime and may God welcome you and our son into his heavenly kingdom.
Adieu Ngia Patrick

I am still in a trance when I think about you being a memory now. I looked forward to visiting you soon and talking about the good old days, when I was young and my family made short weekend trips to Douala and we visited you. I always remember my older siblings fighting over a toy and you asking them which of them won and I came out as the winner. Little did I know the significance of what I said that day. I was only about 6 or 7 years old. Time went by and we would briefly meet when you made trips to Yaoundé. However, you and I only got to see again at my traditional wedding in 2009 as a young lady. You met my husband and it was truly a wonderful experience as always. We celebrated and took memorable photos but little did I know that would be the last time we would see each other again. You were always the “cool” uncle and even cooler because you were the only uncle we were allowed to call by an alias. I never got to meet your son either and hoped one day to meet the whole family. However, you were on the roll for that day that you departed and you and Nde answered the call and went up yonder. I will always remember you fondly. Rest peacefully.

I met you for the first time 5 years ago during the occasion celebrating my traditional wedding in 2009 and when I spoke with you I immediately noticed we shared a lot in common, besides my wife speaking fondly of you . I learned you were a Chemical Engineer, just like me. We talked about the field of engineering in Cameroon and the prospects of moving back and the challenges. I still remember you words of inspiration and wisdom. I planned to meet with you the next time I visited Cameroon to continue our discussion.
A moment like this questions our understanding of the purpose and frailty of life. I know you are leaving the world a better place. We will miss you very much but there is no question in my mind you are seating next to the one who sent you. Your memories will stay with us forever and you will never be forgotten. I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet and get to know you in 2009.

Uncle Patrick have you forgotten we agreed to be in constant communication ? Instead you have left my eyes in constant tears.
I was a target of your kindness and generosity. I will never forget the fond memories and forever I will miss you .
May your soul and Ndah Nde rest in perfect peace. Adieu!!!!
Nda'a nde Nkimbeng, i know that you are a family ambassador now between us and our ancestors. The $1 million question is, "WHY" but i know GOD knows why and has a reason for it.
We shall meet again some day daddy and son!
Boss « Pa’a » nous vous appelions ainsi ; vous étiez non seulement un patron pour nous mais aussi un papa. Malgré les pensées des uns et autres vis-à-vis de vous, vous étiez un homme bienfaisant qui a toujours su soutenir les jeunes par tes précieux conseils et bien plus en facilitant leur insertion dans le milieu professionnel.
La mort, comme elle peut être douloureuse et dévastatrice ; elle vous prend au moment ou l’on l’attend le moins ; mais telle est le chemin de chacun. Vous vous en allez Boss en laissant un grand vide parmi nous et une profonde douleur dans nos cœurs. C’est grâce à des personnes comme vous que nous continuerons à avancer dans la vie.
Nos pensées et prières vous accompagnent car vous resterez a jamais gravé dans nos mémoires.
Employées Ste NIS Sarl.
Ntambeng is patiently looking up to you
Mankon is patiently looking up to you.
Good bye DOULMAN!!! Your colleague, Nephew, NDE Peter Nkwenti
Paddy where do I start is it with Akongnu and how you gave birth to our "mutual assistance fund" our internal insurance so that our money could be recycled at the end of each year than sink. You always had this microscopic view on issues at meetings while we approached them superficially. Those your lofty ideas, what happens to your guava farm at Ndzong, the charcoal pots and chimneys?
I can go on and on. Naturally you are a very careful person but death is the one thing we can never be too careful, more because it is the will of God and when he knocks, we don't even have time to pick our bags since we will not be needing them way across the blues skies. Adieu Paddy. May your gentle soul and that of our dear son rest in perfect peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Nkimbeng's family.
Where are you? Where is junior? When I learnt of your transition to the Lord, it came like a bombshell to me. I knew you far back in Sacred Heart in 1972 when you were in Form Four and I was in form Two. I used to see you standing with your visible carve legs at the other end of the Sacred Heart College auditorium, reserved for the senior Form Four students. You were tall and imposing in my eyes, and singing away in preparation for the Sunday mass. Later on, the travails of life separated us as we took different trajectories to make ends meet until we were finally cemented again more solidly, not just as brothers, but as in-laws. I am therefore mourning you as my brother and my in-law.
I last saw you in Douala, three or four years ago at Banaberri at the achu joint of one Mankon lady and we charted heartily and you told me interesting things about your new job as a consultant to CEMENCAM and other enterprises. As usual, you were warm, fraternal, loving and concerned about every detail of what I told you, and wished me well and all you could. What a nice ngia, friend, and brother you were.
We all share the pain of your departure. We cry and lament because of the pain but we praise the Lord for the gift of life and love. The Lord decided to call you during the Easter Season so that together you may resurrect into a new life in heaven. May you rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. And may junior make an easy entry into the companion of the Angels and Saints of Heaven.
Adieu Ngia Patrick. Adieu!!
-We thank God for his life
-We thank God for all the advise he gave us all
-We thank God that those who sleep in him are merely transitioning to glory
-We thank God he gave uncle Patrick to us and the promise of reunion in heaven because of his sacrifice of Christ.
We pray that God should give us the strength to over come this storm
William Shakespeare, a famous British playwright once said “Some people are born great, others achieve greatness in their lifetime and others have trusted in the then, so do not be afraid of greatness”. Dad you achieved greatness during your stay on earth. Being a father, a best friend and a role model to me it is going to be a little difficult but you did your part and it is now up to me.
I am forever grateful for all you have done for me. Your leaving us suddenly means God almighty has bigger plans for you. I wish R.I.P meant “Return If Possible” but the reality is that it means “Rest in Peace”, so may your souls rest in peace.
“Presi”, I really don’t know how to pay my respects to somebody who barely lived his life. However, for the short period here on earth, you were a little brother and a very good friend to me and so many others. I know God has better plans for you and Dad so all I can say is goodbye. You both have created a HOLE in my heart that will be difficult to fill. I will hold on to all the memories we had together. These are my final words of farewell, I will miss you both.
Nkimbeng Collins(son and brother)
My darling husband, my older brother, my friend, my hero, my advocate, and my companion, it pains me a lot to know you are no more. To say goodbye to a treasure like you, will not be something in a rush. Paddy you changed my status from a Miss to a respectable Mrs. Kimbeng. You made me feel the joy of motherhood with arrival of our first son. You have died and left me here to think about it. For my sake and that of our children turn again to life and smile. My hero you were a fountain of general knowledge and I consulted you whenever necessary and you were always there for me. If I could not find an immediate answer to a problem, you made sure you found one instantly or later on. Thank you dear for being such a loving and caring father to me and my children and I will miss you so much.
For my son, thank you for being such a wonderful child and friend to me. Because of your arrival to this world, I was upgraded to the status of “mummy”. Thank you my son for choosing me as a medium through which you came into this world. Even though the time spent with you was short lived, I will be forever grateful to God to have been your mother. I will always cherish the moments we spent together and will take this memories with me to my grave. While I stay behind to mourn you both I wish you everlasting rest in eternity as you resurrect with Christ on Easter. I love and miss you guys. Adieu

Daddy having to say good bye to you like this is not exactly what we had in mind. However, we are certain that you guys are in a better place. It is rather unfortunate that we have to part ways so soon. We will do our best to make you a proud father and will forever hold on to the good times we had together. You will be greatly missed.
“Presi”, you were our brother, friend and playmate. You were there for us when we needed you and even when we didn’t want you, you insisted on helping. Though it is so soon we know God almighty has bigger plans for you.You will always be close to our hearts and may your souls rest in perfect peace. We love and miss you all.
