Junior, your passing away is still painful. We get on with each day like as if it is not painful because we have to stay strong for your family. Many times I can't bear to look at your pictures because of the distress it brings. God, please take good care of Junior's family because they miss him more than we can think of.

Junior, rest well at the feet of Jesus.

3 years today, my darling! Missing you still! LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Continue to rest perfectly in the bosom of the Lord Adeniji.

May your loving soul continue to rest in peace.
Good night my dear friend.

"My darling! I tried as much as I could, but I just couldn't bring myself to visit here on your birthday. I deliberately stayed away, but the longing wouldn't wane, so here I am again! It's bitter-sweet for me because I'm reminded of the day God graced us with the gift of you, but it also hurts because we can no longer physically celebrate with you. Your legacy lives on still, and your memories are priceless and most cherished. Love you lots, my darling! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!"

To live in the hearts of others is never to die. You are sorely missed!!
The life of one we love is never lost. Its influence goes on through all the lives it ever touched.
You are forever loved!!

Another birthday without your physical presence. We have to make do with happy and sad reminisces. Miss you so much!

Junior, Already 2years. Na wa oooo!
Just never imagined that you could leave at your Prime.
May the Lord continue to Comfort your Wife, Children, Siblings, Friends, Loved Ones, the entire Adaralegbe Family and those affected by your passing.
RIP my Brother.

God bless the family you left behind.. RIP Bro

Dearest Adeniji Jnr, saying we miss you every day is an understatement, the day you crossed to the other side to be with the Lord, It felt like my heart was ripped out and a part of me left with you. It all seems like a dream. It's painful to realize I won't get to talk to you anymore. I am grateful for our many conversations and all the things you taught me such as selflessness.
Your exit has been tough on us and the family you left behind. Visiting your grave site on your birthday has been very painful, all we hold on to now are memories of your great personality. Continue to rest in perfect peace. Sun re o. 

Missing you still, my darling!
July 31st! Still celebrating your life and legacy on this day!
Love you forever, Junior!

I ponder and wonder about you. I have fond memories of you but the memories are not enough. You being with us is better, more wonderful than one can express. Your voice echoes in my ear and I really wish you were here in person. To be Christ like is to believe that you are with our God, Heavenly Father and creator. That is the only comfort, that you are in the best place and at peace. You remain forever in our hearts. Not one day without the thought of you.

Happy birthday my dear uncle, you will always be missed.

Junior, the vacuum you left can never be filled. Rest, my brother.

Junior ! Junior! You're a legend even in death. You meant so much to everyone who crossed your path and therefore you remain extremely evergreen and indelible in our hearts . The vacuum you left can never be filled my awesomely amazing beloved brother. We are yet to come to terms but we find solace knowing you're in a better place. Love you forever

May Junior soul continue to rest in perfect peace in Jesus name.

My dearest brother. It is exactly one year that you left us. Time has not dulled the pain I feel. We all miss you so very much Adeniji. I think of you ALL the time. Rest well in God's warm bossom my precious brother.

It’s been 1 year since we’ve lost you daddy, nothing feels the same now that you are not here with us to bring us many laughs, teach us and guide us through our lives. We are missing you dearly and think about you everyday. We are doing our best to make you proud and I’m doing my best to be the best big sister I can for jaiye, niji, and sewa and the best daughter for you and for mummy. We love you so much daddy ❤️❤️

Love,
- Jopsy

Adeniji Junior my dearest brother, I can't find the right words to express how much we miss you. May your kind soul rest in everlasting peace. 

Fondly remembered today, one year already.
Junior, may your sweet legacies and memories live on in the hearts of your family and loved ones.

Rest on in the bosom of our Lord.

My darling precious Brother! You're graciously celebrated post humously today 31st July 2021. Happy 53rd birthday in heaven . Wished you were here to mark it on earth though. Unquestionable God. Miss you so much.

Happy 53rd post humus birthday uncle! I miss you so much. Still feels like a bad dream, not having you around. Here’s what I wanted to say 6 months ago, but couldn’t put myself together to.

When I was growing up in Nigeria, uncle Jr was like a myth. My dad told us stories about how they grew up together, and how he missed him so much. That was until I first met him at about the age of 8. He was so funny, loving, and generous, and that would be the basis of the man that he was as I got to know him better. About another 8 years, I would move to Arizona – where he played the role of a father in my life.
 
I was a scrawny teenager in a totally different world, who despite being around family, needed someone with a similar experience to show me the ropes and help me figure out how to navigate life here. I was very much in my shell, but this is where uncle Junior’s true quality was – He knew how to listen to people and understand them. He took time to tell me stories about his experience coming to the US, his journey to attain degrees and start his own businesses, and how social life in the US. Worked. He gave me advice on how to present myself, how to talk to people and exude confidence, how to deal with workplace conflict, and so many more things than I can mention. I actually learnt a lot about my own father from the stories Uncle junior told me.
 
Ever since I moved from Arizona, I told friends about how my uncle would organize family gatherings, plan various trips, set me up with my first job at his company, and always told the funniest jokes. We would talk from time to time, and I would keep him up to date on how I was growing as a person… using some of the skills he taught me to navigate various issues… and how much I missed watching comedy shows with him and his family.
 
I still remember that fateful day in April 2018, when I was informed of Uncle junior’s hospitalization. I needed many days off because I wasn’t myself. All of a sudden, I remembered how I had forgotten to tell him that I was still using many of the presents he gave me, no matter how small. I had forgotten to tell him how much he meant to me, and how much he had helped my grow as a person. I miss you so so much uncle. There’s so much that has happened since you fell ill… so many jokes to share that not many others would understand… so many achievements I wish you could have witnessed in the lives of your children, nephews, and nieces… so many things I wish we could have talked about. You are not forgotten uncle, because your stories and memory lives on with us. Rest in peace uncle.

Happy first Heavenly birthday, bro Niji!
Would rather be celebrating here on earth with you but it seems God had other plans for you.
Miss you very much. Love you always.

A God sent angel - he changed my life and introduce me to my wife 12 years ago. He will always be remembered and I thank God for him everyday. He is a life changer - I’ll never forget him and our aggressive racquetball games. God I wish there was more times together but he is with you. Love you Niji with all my heart and soul. Sandy you were a sister to me and Jessica. Our prayers will be with you always. We love you. Tim and Jessica

Junior, so many pleasant memories/ wonderful recollections. I thank God for your life. May your soul continue to rest in the peaceful bossom of the Lord! You will be greatly missed!

May Junior's soul continue to rest well.

Bola and siblings as well as Junior's wife and children please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Sandy and kids, Femi and entire family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I pray that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around you and the entire family and comfort you. My thoughts and my prayers are with you. Your husband is resting now, and his soul is resting in perfect peace, and his memory will continue to be a blessing.

Junior’s life was impactful, meaningful, and well lived. He loved fiercely and cared deeply. He was kind and generous with his time and resources.

For 52 short years, Junior was God’s precious gift to us as a son, brother, cousin, husband, father, uncle, nephew, and friend. He touched every single one of us, and he meant so much to so many even well beyond the family.

He left a legacy of hard work, and devotion to his wife, Sandy and their children, Jope, Jaye, Niji, and Sewa.

The last time I saw my cousin in the hospital, I told him that I would return to dance with him in celebration of his healing and restoration, because I was praying and had hoped for that reality on this side of eternity, as he fought a long and hard battle. I do believe he held on for nearly 3 years for the sake of his family.
In our reality, we didn’t have enough time with Junior. He was taken from us far too soon. Why? I really don’t know. The truth is, if Junior had lived a hundred years, it would not be enough and we will still need more time with him.

Jeremiah 29:11 reads “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”

We are not always privy to God’s big plan, but we are called to trust his good heart, even when we don’t fully understand.

In Genesis 18:25, Abraham declares:” Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

So family, and friends, what are we to do?

We will abandon ourselves to God, like Job did in his trial. He said of God “though he slay me, yet will I hope in Him” Job 13:15.

We will resolve to keep Junior’s legacy alive through his young family, by doing our best to see that they thrive, as he desired.

We will fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. What is unseen at this time is the other side of eternity, into which Junior has entered, and where he has received ultimate healing.

We will lay hold of the hope of eternal life which Christ provided through his sacrifice, so that when it is our turn to enter into eternity, we may have confidence that we will see our beloved again, in the presence of our father.

There, he will wipe away every tear from our eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

Finally, Sandy, Jope, Jaye, Niji, Sewa, egbon Segun, Sister Nike, Bayo, Femi, Bola, Sola. I say to you “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms”.

"...the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death" Isaiah 57:1-2.

Rest In Peace Junior
May God Comfort your whole family.
The Holy Spirit has everyone wrapped in .

Dust thou art
And to dust returnest
Was not spoken of the soul
      - William Wordsworth Longfellow
Till we meet again
Gallant soldier of the cross
ADIEU JUNIOR!!!

Junior, you were a loving guy when we were young.It’s sad to hear about your passing.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard, but always near.
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Your life was a blessing. Your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words. Rest in peace.

Growing up together and neighbours was fun, although as adults we did not know much of each other. Junior rest on, almight God will take care of all that is yours on earth. Amen. Sun re o!

Tribute to our Beloved Brother Niji ( Baba Junior)

Baba Jr, As the curfew of each night toils the knell of each passing day, so too does your untimely death echo the passing of a young life too precious to forget, " You were amazing guy"
Baba Jr, I could recall the pain and fear of death on your face on that faithful day in April 2018 when I visited you in the hospital, I wish I knew that your would not resist the sudden call from the merciless death, I could have a chance to say goodbye " You were amazing guy"
It is indeed a matter of painful irony that while most communities in Arizona celebrate life, but our community celebrate death once again, Jr it shouldn't be you, " You were amazing guy ".
Baba Jr, your unceremonious and painful exit has thought us to expect death, but we believe your legacy of hard work, compassion, guiding light and your support for lovely nature shall give us courage to continue on, "You were amazing guy"
Even though you're gone, your accomplishments and compassion will continue to inspire us to do better because "You were amazing guy".
Baba Junior, Niji, our beloved brother, ADIOS!!! You will be greatly missed!! May your lovely, gentle soul rest in perfect peace!! " You were amazing guy".
Tony Udoinwang and family.

Junior, you were a loving guy while we grew together in Ife. You have fought the fight of faith. Rest in the bosom of the Lord!
Abiola Afolayan(Eli)

I am still struggling with the fact that you are no longer here with us. I am at a loss for words. All i keep thinking about is how painful your loss is for your wife, children, siblings, and all the other members of your family, as well as your friends. I know you are resting now Junior. I pray for strength for your family. Much Love to the family and all other loved ones. Rest well Junior.

Uncle Junior,

I still cannot believe you are gone. I am still struggling to accept it as I write this tribute but I am comforted knowing that you are resting with the Lord and no longer suffering. You were a very inspiring man with your generosity, work ethics, and devotion to God, family and friends. I will miss our conversations that ranged from jokes, family, education, fashion, business ventures etc and I will never forget the marriage advice you gave me a few days before my wedding which was sadly a few days prior to your hospitalization. We love and miss you and know your family will always have someone to check on them just as you so commonly did for so many people.

My dearest uncle Junior,

it’s so hard to believe that you’re actually gone.

I was privileged enough to have been able to experience your generosity, kindness and bubbly personality personally and not solely from the numerous stories of you my mum has told me. I’ll forever treasure the time I got to spend with you. The holidays to Mexico and Hollywood and countless other outings you took us on. I remember playing scrabble with you when I was like 10 and how smart you made me feel whenever I came up with a word! I can even remember you coming to visit us in Ireland over ten years ago and being so excited to meet you and my cousins for the first time!

I wish I could have been able to make more memories with you but I’ll treasure the few I have dearly.

The last time I saw you, you were laying on your sick bed in the hospital and I’ll never forget saying the words "Goodbye Uncle Junior, next time I see you, you’ll be better.” before I left back home for Dublin. Little did I know it would be the last time I got to say goodbye.

Goodbye Uncle Junior, next time I see you will be in Heaven ! Till then the legacy you’ve left behind on earth will live on for you.

I did not know Junior personally but when I learned about his long battle with his sudden illness, I was shocked. I was hoping for a fast recovery however our Lord decided to call him home. Junior was a good man, a brother and a father who has accomplished so much during his lifetime. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. May God receive him with open arms and protect the rest of his family. RIP

Though today you lay to rest the body of your beloved Junior, his spirit was set free and a piece of it lives eternally in each of you! Cling to it in the days, months and years to come for comfort, joyful memories, guidance and most of all his enduring love for each one of you. God has promised you all that the day will come of your joyful reunification with him in The Lord. Amen 

8J! Dengi!! You were a great guy.
It's so painful to be writing a tribute to you, at this time of our lives. We all thought of ourselves growing old. Sitting down in our old age , regaling ourselves of our lovely days back in Ife, while growing up. There was so much we shared, so much to say, but not today. My dear friend and brother, the night has fallen on your journey, your sojourn here is over, your assignment done. It is time to rest, peacefully. You will always be Junior to me, my very dear friend and brother.
I wave you on on your journey.
Good night Junior. Sun re ooo!

Junior lived a good and industrious life and fought a good fight til the end. It pleased the Lord to take him home at his prime.
He'll be sorely missed.
May God continue to grant peace and comfort in the hearts of his family and loved ones.
Rest on in the bosom of the Most High God
