You are forever in our memories, went to visit you 2 weeks ago, off course you're not there but it's the last place I left you so doesn't really matter what anyone says. You are probably rocking with the angels as we speak. Went to Jamaica recently with your niece and all I could really wish was if you were there or took the journey yourself. 9 years of not seeing you, hearing you say 'Cuz', and so many more milestones. Continue to rest in perfect peace. Much love

About now we would have started getting ready to go for your 50th birthday bash. We would have gone thru a lot of , No you can't do this, This is how it should be done . No this is Covid time there must be social distancing etc. Eventually knowing you, u wud have probably organised a small dance for your friends. Wow can't believe how time flies, I guess it was not meant to be, I hope your having a wow time in the bossom of the Lord. Today would be another of the days that would be difficult for my aunt to go thru as she has continued to each day and especially on ur birthday and the day you were laid to rest.
Cuz
Keep on resting in the bossom of the Lord.
Happy 50th have a blast.
Sending love ,you have not been forgotten
Thank you so much for your continuous messages about my cousin. Really lifts my spirit when i see that another year has passed and you still remember to post. Many thanks and I wish you all the very best.
I'm sure Bayo is looking down from heaven and he has a smile on his face right now. 49 today Bayo, 50 next year!!!. Wow. Love you loads Cous!!!!
Happy 48th,
Another birthday is here. But that vacuum you left is still as you left it.
My aunt, your mum is plodding on and its obvious your passing left a big big void that can never be filled. Guess you've seen my mum, she joined you in December. Anyway enough rambling and rattling from me. Miss you.
Hi Rachel,
I saw your pic come up on here and it stopped me in my tracks. I am still extremely grateful for the encouragement that you gave me at SCI and have got to thank you for that.
I don't think that you are aware of how you much you helped overcome a foul mindset I had at the time. Being the person I am today I am fully aware of why and where it came from.
Without going into one I am now a born again Christian and wow....has everything been brought to life or what. You may not realise but God used you to help me overcome. I thank God for you.
Anyway I am now a renewed person with God behind me. I have recently been headhunted and my salary has gone up considerably and it all started with you. Thank you very much Rachel
I would love to meet up and take you out for a meal sometime if that is possible. It's just a mark of my appreciation but I'm not sure your other half would appreciate it but the offer is there
Hope you enjoy the Easter break and I look forward to your reply
Bayo
You were a good man, Bayo. I didn't know you well but we had a few laughs together at wcn . You helped me fix a puncture in my bicycle tyre. Neither of us were very confident in doing this. We ended up blowing up the inner tube.. you were a good man Bayo. I wish I knew you better .
Rest in peace, my friend. Gary mehmet x
Till we meet to part no more. Kemi
Love Seni
I only you met you a few times but your smile seemed to light the world and brightened the life of the people you came in contact with. May your soul rest in perfect peace . God will continue to comfort your family .
The light you fixed outside the house in Aug 2013 finally went out. I really did not want that light to go because I remember that day clearly. We were all preparing for Ruths wedding. The girls were getting their hair done and you were cutting the boys hair. Adeayo won't sit still so I put him on my lap and you cut his hair.
All finished and I asked you to change the bulb. It was an initial struggle, then I got the chair out and you finally got it done.
I wanted that light to stay on forever, the same way you will be with me forever. In my mind , the light is still there and you are still here.
and love of Cars, in fact I grew up seeing that smile from the days of Osbaldeston Road. You had a generous soul and never judged anyone. I saw Steve a few weeks ago and we spent ages talking about the good times and reminiscing on the times we all stood outside Alkham Road Bayo, Steve, Wayne Paul, Me talking about Cars the latest and quickets
and also talking about how to fix them and the good times. The last time I saw you, Feb 2014 at Kingsway International Christain Church (KICC) you looked well, and told me of your plans and hopes for the future. We both agreed we must keep in touch because life is too short
I cannot therefore believe the news I was to hear, that you have left us so suddenly. May the good lord grant you peace and rest my dear friend, cousin and Brother, you will forever remain in my thoughts.
Just tried calling you. As usual, its gone to voice mail. Went through our text messages and saw what you wrote to me last year " I have just got the message. Its not that im trying to encourage you but to remind you that we can do all things through Christ our Lord. I feel that u called me because of what u r going through and I am here to tell you WE will overcome in Jesus name. I pray that what ever you are going through we have VICTORY in Jesus name. Amen"
Thinking back, not sure why you wrote that but it encouraged me at the time.
To be honest I don't believe I won't see you again until we meet in heaven. Its too unreal. Is that why you appeared in my dream.?
I don't think this is a tribute but a conversation with you.
Anyway, laters
"Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them." '
Isaiah 57:1-2.. 'The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.'
Rest on in the bosom of the Lord dear cousin...
Charming. Lovable. Always smiling. - These are the three characteristics that I will always remember you by.
You're in my prayers, may God make the transition to the next life for you easy.
I am deeply saddened to hear this news. we emailed each other only three or four weeks ago......
I am shocked and numb to type this out. Far too soon. Far too soon my friend. A powerful example of how short life is and how precious time is.
What I remember most about you is that big old smile of yours, your bubbly sense of humour, easy going nature and of course your ambition. I admired those qualities of yours and they have left an impact on me.
I am happy that I had the chance to know you, Bayo and I will miss you. From the bottom of my heart I wish you peace but I take comfort knowing you are in a good place- if anyone deserves this it is you.
God bless you Bay

RIP my darling, and thank you for a wonderful weekend in Cardiff, we laughed so much, remember??
Then we went to your sister's home, how lovely it was, My darling friend, may you stay at peace now, and never forget us, we will love you forever, our darling wedding best man! <3
We have wonderful memories of you Bayo and find peace in that you were so happy in recent years.
Rest in peace xx
RIP Bayo
Bayo was clearly having special times with the Lord in the secret place. He remains an inspiration to me and I believe his life will continue to inspire. God bless you brother and I look forward to meeting you again one day!
Thank you for the fun, adventures, so many jokes, most of all thank you for touching my heart and mind! You light will always shine. You will be remembered for your bright smile, Shifty B would light up the room with his cheeky smile!
You have been taken before we planned. You will be missed greatly as you touched so many people.
Rest In Peace.
P.S. No larking about with the angels now!
Big love always Son-Son mwah mwah
John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

Death is cruel.
May your soul rest in peace till we meet again.
I still remember all the advice you used to give me after secondary school..although this is devastating I know God is watching over you
rip Uncle Bayo
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
As the days come and go and the world moves on,
I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.
On the night the Angel came and
took your hand,
We cried as you left for an unknown land.
But Heaven rejoiced as you came into
sight,
For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright. Travel safe my friend
It was Xmas day that we sat together over our annual family dinner, never knew it would be the last time I would set eyes on you.
We spoke in May and I could sense the change in you, the joy that God was answering all your prayers. Although my heart is heavy with questions unanswered.
I thank God knowing that you gave your life to him.
Rest in perfect peace.

Bayo's thoughts posted on facebook
Amen
I pray outpouring of opportunity &favor over you! something held up is about to open in abundance &FAVOR flows! In Jesus’ name!
Today is the day of great salvation. There is much chaos coming in the days and times ahead, but know and trust I am shaking things, and stirring hearts and shaking foundations and shaking establishments, and shaking all that can be shaken. The shaking and stirring is accelerating the days in which you are now living. It is a time of seasoning and a time of cooking. A time of preparation and maturing – to make things ready.
For my heart is calling out to all, that none would perish but all would come together to enjoy the marriage, to partake in the great wedding. For surely all are invited. Though few will accept the invitation I am sending you out with a message, a message that’s near and dear to my heart.
And at times your heart will burn with a message, you will feel compelled to get out into the streets and sidewalks and move among my people, and inspire them, and share with them, and love them. I will burn within your heart and your inner man a message that cannot remain silent.
And I am putting a message within your mouth. I will speak through you. I will give you the words to say.
For I will not send you out without purpose to wonder aimlessly. But I will guide you. I will bring you to them, and I will bring them to you. You will meet together and there will be many divine appointments I have arranged. And even now, as you hear my still, small voice, know I am moving and stirring within you, compelling you to move, compelling you to stand up and proclaim the day of salvation to all who have not yet heard, to those who do not yet know.
For it is my heart’s desire that none would perish. For I am the good shepherd who would lay down his life for his sheep. And I am the good shepherd who is willing to leave the ninety-nine in order to find and rescue the one lost sheep. I do not consider it adequate to have the only the ninety-nine because my heart burns and longs for the lost, to draw them into the flock and to bring them into the family. It is not a small or trivial thing for me. It is my passion. It is my heart’s desire.
So as your heart begins to burn, and this burn becomes uncomfortable, know it is my spirit burning within you, compelling you to get out to the streets, and the sidewalks, and to the highways, and the media, and the meetings and to share the good news of the kingdom. For today is the day of salvation. I am calling you to be join with me in this hour, for the day is at hand. For behold, I am coming quickly and I am bringing my reward with me.
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
Lord, I'm so grateful for your faithfulness, for never leaving us when we blow it.
I know of nothing else in this world that creates greater security than realizing how faithful God's love is towards us even when (especially when) we make huge mistakes.
It's true!
We can be confident we are loved regardless if we "get it right" or not because God's love for us is not based on how we perform or behave, but rather, based on who he is. It's his nature to love - and he loves us greatly!
When we understand this, and really let this piece of truth sink in to our hearts it liberates us from all kinds of guilt, shame and condemnation we may feel otherwise.
It also inspires us to love.
It inspires us to love God. It inspires us to love ourselves. It inspires us to love our neighbors. Heck! It even inspires us to love our enemies.
This kind of love is so transformative to our human hearts.
God, I'm so very, very grateful that you love us like you do, and that you never leave us even when we make huge blunders.
Blessings to you,
my brother
Hearing this news has broken me totally. I believe God knows best bro, you will be surely missed by all. God keep you my brother my cousin my friend. Till we meet again at the blossom of the lord.
