Shegs was always full of smiles. A “gentle giant”. Very kind and always ensuring that everyone is ok. 

My condolences to Sarah, Lily and the wider Candide- Johnson family.

May Segun rest in peace.

I am shocked beyond words. There are no words to describe this feeling of deep sorrow.
Segun was not only a friend, but an excellent and versatile rugby player. He will be terribly missed.
My profound condolences to his family and may his larger than life, funny, gentle ( off the pitch), beautiful rugby ball hogging, soul, rest in perfect peace. Amen.

We met Arthur only 7 years ago, what a lovely man, the gentle giant. He is one of the nicest men that we have ever been fortunate to have met. Our hearts go out to his wife Sarah and young daughter Lily. The world will be a darker place without Arthur Olusegun Johnson. Deepest condolences Steve & Jeanette

What a tragedy!! Arthur was such a wonderful person, a great rugby player and such fun to be around, unless you were on the opposing team in a rugby game. The sight of Segun blitzing opponents while wearing his knee supports was a sight to behold. RIP my captain, no doubt you will make 1st XV up in heaven.

My fondest memory of this truly wonderful human being was sharing a cigarette with Segun at Mill Hill Rugby club on a cold winters evening after training.

I was in awe of his athleticism and like any inquisitive young lad. I fired some questions at him. I wanted to find to know why he was not playing professionally.

Despite his athleticism, he was equally very humble. He had time for everyone.

Rest in peace brother. You are my hero. You truly left a mark. Love you forever brother.
