OUR LOSS IS HEAVEN'S GAIN! INDEED, THIS IS A CALL TO GLORY!
I have no words to console anyone, but to continue to seek answer; perhaps He will grant me an answer...someday. Perhaps, I, like others seeking answer, will get to know by and by...
Deola you lived. Live on dearest. We love you, we will forever love you. Adieu.
Sleep on until the call of heaven rings here on earth.
Rest in Peace Adeola
For the most part, I’ve been putting it off my mind because whats passed is past but when it comes to mind, it doesn’t still make any sense. I still expect your call, I still lookout for your car, I still tear up and my knees get weak.
I don’t know that anyone deserves to die, but you especially did not. You enjoyed life and I was always in awe of that. Your ready smile, easygoing nature...I still don’t know how you did it; you seemed younger than me. I wish you wrote a book.
I keep going back to one of our conversations on God’s goodness and you kept reiterating and reaffirming that He is Good and I am comforted a bit.
Because what’s true in the light,
Is still true in the dark.
He is Good.
I wish I knew you for much longer. Everyone keeps talking about how great you were and wonderful and there’s no lie or exaggeration. One month wasn’t enough. Five or twenty years wouldn’t have been. Thank God for eternity.
You really will forever be missed while we’re here on earth though.
Thank you for free rides, amused shrugs at my tardiness and for being the most chilled creditor ever. You were so selfless and you made my life so much easier while you were here.
I will always say a quick prayer for your immediate family as often as I remember.
Rest In Peace Adeola .
Just Rest. A life well loved is a life well lived.
Till we meet again. Rest.
I can never forget you .....
I always tell him I love him more than anyone that isn’t my family
Bro Deola I love you ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for being the elder brother I never had.
I know you are in a better place.
Adieu brother
He always sends me personal messages on my birthday even after years of no contact... I’m deeply hurt by this loss personally because he is a good person but I’m even happier that he knows Christ and he’s with the Father and his faith has become sight! We will see again brother!!
God strengthen your loved ones here on earth.
For the very first time in my life, I questioned God when I heard the news of your death. I still have questions but I have no answers.
Adeola, always smiling, in all the years I knew you, I never saw you angry. Your love for God was enviable and that is why I couldn’t understand how this happened.
Sleep on beloved, God will comfort your Dad, wife, daughter, siblings and everyone hurting right now.
Sun re o aburo mi, a o pade ni ojo kan.
Good night Adeola.
You loved me as your younger sister. You were a great influence in my life spiritually, physically. You mentored me to be this woman I've become. You taught me confidence. You taught me how to influence many young people. You influenced my reading habits. You introduced me to listen to messages right from my 200L. You introduced me to go out for programmes and leave my comfort zone. You made me realise that I'm a leader. You deliberately gave me people to mentor. You still came to say hello to me on Saturday. You taught me certain truths about life. You even came to tell me some steps I should take before I do my wedding. Bro Deola.... Words can't explain how terrible and sad I feel. You're the elder brother I didn't have that made your home accessible to us all.
Thank you for teaching me and guiding me in God's way. Devil thought he has cheated me. But it's a lie. You will continue to live in my heart. I love you so much Egbon mi.
I have never envisioned myself writing a tribute for my brother so soon. My brother was one of the best things that ever happened to me. He was my first role model, my friend, prayer partner, support, confidant and much more. He played a very vital role in what I am today, when I told him about me starting photography, he got me different tutorial videos to help me learn and we were always shooting pictures together. He has always been there, from my school days till now! He always came to check on me at Command Secondary School Ibadan, Covenant University and has always been concerned about me. My brother taught me many things I know about God, his steadfast love for God was so obvious that it rubbed off on everyone. Growing up, I didn’t really buy plenty clothes because I always had his clothes and shoes to wear. My brother’s death is a big shocker to me! I am so sad, I can’t take it!!! I know for sure, he has gone to be with the Lord and soon we shall all see him and rejoice again.
My brother loved everyone; friends, family, colleagues, strangers, church members. He saw the best in people. He was the man of the people, really cared and looked out for people; always calling and visiting people.
I am more than certain that his family will lack no good thing!
God is a good God!!! In the good times and bad, He is God!!!
Till We Meet To Part No More!
Adieu Adeola Olatunji Okungbaye.
I remember the day we ran into each other again in Fidelity Bank, sometime in 2015/2016 and we exchanged contacts. Very smart dude and polite to a fault and you sent me birthday wishes on my Birthday in December last year! I was shocked to learn today of your demise bruv, and I'm still finding it hard to believe that we lost such a rare gem!
I hope you find eternal blissful rest in the Lord bro. Peace...
Leave a Tribute
I have no words to console anyone, but to continue to seek answer; perhaps He will grant me an answer...someday. Perhaps, I, like others seeking answer, will get to know by and by...
Deola you lived. Live on dearest. We love you, we will forever love you. Adieu.
Sleep on until the call of heaven rings here on earth.
Rest in Peace Adeola
