Days will pass and turn into years, we will always remember you with silent tears.
Continue to rest in peace Broda

Rest on Bro. Had you in mind all through service in church yesterday. What a glorious exit. We thank God for your legacy lives forever.

Remembered always.

Dr. Deji, I was trying to check on you today the 23rd of August, 2022 to realized you are gone. We spoke early last year and you told me, you are getting better.
Wow!!! I can’t believe it. You were a good student and a good mentor. Who says a student can’t be a mentor. A great man gone so soon.
My condolences to your wife, children and the family. May God Almighty give the family fortitude to bear the loss. Dr. Adedeji Akinwande RIP.

Hmmm, it is already a year that Deji departed this world. He would be remembered for good for those who know him well. I pray that the presence of God will overshadow his family and grant the wife the grace and wisdom to keep his Company flourishing in Jesus name. AMEN

Broda! May your gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace. You are surely missed!!

Rest on Dr Ayodeji Akinwande.A year gone already,you are greatly missed. Nifemi and Mum are taking care of the home front.Till we meet to part no more.

Dr Deji Akinwande, it is difficult to believe that it has been one year already that you have been with the Lord. I really missed you!. Your presence here was phenomenon and you were just a blessing to all that came in contact with you. Your beloved wife, Dr Wunmi Akinwande is carrying on with courage and strength of the Holy Spirit and your legacies live on. Rest on dear brother

Keep resting on Deji!... We all miss you here!

Rest In Peace , Always In my Mind

Can't believe it's been a year since you are gone. A man with a large heart and great humility. You are truly missed. May God continue to comfort your wife and children.

wow Dr Deji, its been a year already, time flies but fund memories of you are still so fresh in our minds, that is to show how strong a positive influence you were to us all. we miss you but know you are in a good place in the shadow of the almighty. Dr wunmi and the kids are doing very well. God bless you till we meet again.

Thank you for all the lives you touched here on earth and even in your legacy as you rest with the Lord Jesus. We pray for comfort and peace on all your loved ones and friends.

Continue to rest in peace, we shall see again , may Holy Spirit continue to comfort us all in Jesus Name Amen 

Still feels surreal.
It took me 3 years of working with you before I realised we were close relatives. I will never forget how much knowledge you embedded in me.
It's so sad you left so soon.You will forever remain in my heart and never forgotten.I'm happy I worked with you and I'll never forget all that I've learnt from you. Rest on Cousin.

It's so unfortunate my boss, Mr Deji as we called him had to leave this world soon. I know him to be a resolute business man. Soft but very smart. I worked closely with him those days and some times its just Mr Deji and myself in the office late at night. He left an indelible business experience I will never forget.

It's really painful and Shocking that you had to leave this early. You were a man of Impact, Gentle but a mover. I celebrate your life & all that you were able to accomplish while you were here with us. May God bless and keep the Children & Wife you left on this side of Jordan. Looking forward to meeting you at the feet of Jesus. (Gbadegesin Tosin)

Although I know God ways and plans are better than our own I can’t help but wish you were still here with us. From the phone conversations we had to finally meeting in person you were such a gentle and caring soul that truly cared about what was going on in other people’s lives. You are truly family and an amazing cousin. I pray for you Sis Wumni that God will cover you and give you complete comfort during this time. I’m so thankful that Bro Deji left such an overwhelming legacy and impact!

He was a colleague. Soft spoken, immensely successful, very punctual and a humble man. May God rest his soul and comfort his family

Hummm, a quiet gentleman, easy going, soft spoken and respectful. Dr. Deji Akinwande was an achiever, a man that impacted people around him. The Lord keep, uphold and comfort Dr. Wunmi, the children and all the family that he left behind. Rest in eternal peace Dr. Deji Akinwande.

I have not had a 1-2-1 encounter with the gentleman but I had the honour of meeting him in Lagos like 8 years ago at a birthday party of my little daughter
he came across as a very humble man who is blessed with a lot of humility i still have the picture we all took till now saved on my phone
my condolences to his lovely family may his soul rest in eternal peace

I have been unable to bring myself to think that I am writing a tribute on Deji. I have struggled to accept the news and still shake my head whenever I think about him. The reality dawned on me finally after witnessing the service of songs.
I still vividly remember my first contact with Deji. He had come for vetting as a pre-condition to have the hand of one of my favorite sisters-in-law in marriage. Lawunmi wanted me to, through the lenses of a man, evaluate his eligibility. Within the first 15minutes, I made up my mind that he was very eligible. I noticed a fiercely determined, in-love gentleman who was going to be very loyal to his wife who was going to stop at nothing to make his wife happy and give her peace of mind. He showed humility, ambition and love for God. Despite making up my mind so soon, we were together for long hours which was a testament to how easy it was to get along with him.
Over time, I wasn’t surprised at his progress and achievements. We were at several family events together and his conduct was always on-point:almost faultless. On one occasion, we had business transaction, even though this has not come to fruition, he was eager to help all the way. He did not withhold his network as some may wont to do. He also had useful business advice and showed his firm belief that God reigns supreme in the affairs of men in respect to success as humans.
Despite not living long enough in our opinion, we submit to God who knows all things and take solace that he is looking down at us from heaven right now and that he had his feet imprinted on the sands of time ticking all the boxes of desirable things icons achieve in the world. We fondly remember his infectious smile, love for all, professionalism, commitment to family and God.
We pray that God be with Lawunmi, the children, his father and siblings as they continue to navigate the journey of life without Deji. Difficult to look forward to the journey but God will go ahead and make it easy and console them as well as all of us. Help us all, o God!
Deji, rest on in the bosom of your Lord. Adieu brother......

The gentle and ever smiling Dr. Deji Akinwande, you will be forever remembered .





Sun re o.

Deji , we love you but God love you most , you finished so soon , may your soul rest in peace peace, Sunre ooo Aburo
May God continue to comfort us all
Wow Holy Spirit please continue to minister to us all

My initial contact with Dr Deiji was strictly business but this developed into a relationship of trust and admiration of a gentleman with impeccable character honesty forthrightness transparency and above all the fear of God.
By the time I got to relate with his wife I could see a replication of her husband's virtues to the glory of God.
Dr Dejis departure is indeed a bitter pill to swallow but when I read the scripture in Isaiah 57:1&2 I realized that "the righteous is taken away from evil...."
So everything works together for good for those who love God no matter how painful it could be for now.
May his amiable gentle and charming soul rest in perfect peace.
May God release to the wife children and family the fortitude to bear this great loss.Amen.
I also commiserate with the Atlantis Consult group at this painful loss.

i am short of words, but Adeoye may your gentle soul continue to rest in peace.

May God console the family of Dr Akinwande in this trying time. The passing of a beloved is never easy may God's blessing cover his family and rest his soul.

Adieu Deji. You are much loved and would be missed.

Bro, It is so sad you are gone!
You were a perfect gentleman, full of smiles and enthusiasm.
Without doubt, you made a mark on the sands of time...
Forever in our hearts...

Deji personified the clutch of words "cool, calm and collected. An all round nice guy, when I think of him I remember he had a kind smile for everyone all the time. You will be missed but we take solace that you are heaven's gain. I pray God's comfort for all the loved ones he left behind.

I will always remember Deji as a quiet, calm and ever smiling presence from our university days.

It’s hard to understand why... the only consolation really is we know you are in a better place

Rest well friend

Rest on in Christ dear Dr Deji. Heaven has gained an angel. I pray that God will continue to be the father of your lovely children and May God grant your beautiful wife, my dear dear friend and all the family fortitude to bear this loss.

This is in deed surreal, as we find it hard to believe Deji Akinwande is no more here on earth, though we are sure he has gone to be with his Lord and saviour.
You became our brother naturally by loving Wunmi(your dear wife). You brought her so much Joy, Peace and stability,you believed in her being her best as you both developed and supported each other. You both were an amazing combination and proof that what God can not do doesn't exist!
We say goodnight to those who sleep in the Lord, for we shall see them again.
"You have fought the good fight and finished the race, you have kept the faith."
May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace Dearly Beloved.

My heart still aches!!!Deji was a soft spoken and humble being,he never allowed his comfort to rule.He respects friends even without sight.Deji,I believe God loves you more and prefers you rest from this sinful world,I pray every family you left will be upholded..RIP great colleague.

A kindhearted boss who was filled with much love and generosity has gone from our sight,Even though a light has been extinguished out of our lives,the memories will never be erased.REST ON SIR TILL WE MEET TO PART NO MORE

I remember meeting Deji in 2011, he had by then requested for the hand in marriage of my sister Lawunmi. I recall that the quality that struck me was his gentle mien and soft speak. He was gentle and humble. Till the last time we spoke, he was still the same Deji. Deji spared no expense for the comfort of his wife and children which gladdened my heart as his wife’s older sister. He was very close to my husband and they got along famously in the family despite their age difference. Deji was like a younger bro and I his sis, there was no awkwardness, he just fit right into the family setting and got along with everybody. There’s none in the family that has a bad word about Deji. Omo daada. Deji was an astute businessman. He would go the extra mile to satisfy his clients. It’s so sad that Deji left us so soon, but he lived a fulfilled life, however short. May Lawunmi be comforted by God and may his guidance and guard be around his children and family in Jesus name. Deji will be sorely missed as he’s gone too soon. We remain resolute that God knows best.

On behalf of the children of Late Michael Sunday Alonge and the Alonge-Oludaiye family, sun re o, ana bi omo.

I had first contact with Deji some years back when I was his Set Adviser/Coach at Business School, Netherlands and he was the class governor. Deji was a gentleman and soft spoken. He was articulate, intelligent and hard working . He was a man of style, had eyes for good things and would always pay attention to details. Even when he was sick, he was still working and I didn't know on time. Deji had big and beautiful plans in the building industry, unfortunately, he couldn't carry them out. I sincerely hope and pray his family and staff will be able to carry on his good work.
I pray the Almighty God will comfort the family especially the wife and children and give them the grace to bear the loss. It is well in Jesus name. AMEN

Though I was not privileged to meet with you one on one, but from our conversation via WhatsApp & phone calls, I could tell you were a soft,gentle & a detailed person.

Despite the challenges, you still followed up with every aspect of work on site in order to make sure that we meet up with our deliverables.

You will be forever missed! Rest on Boss!

(1Th 4:14)  For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.

We may have met just once sir, but your impact in many lives was tangible.
Your legacy lives on and I pray strength, peace and comfort for your family.

We celebrate a life of impact and love. Dr. Dej, you were a genial and unobtrusive lover of God and men. Though we miss you, we are gratified to know heaven has gained an angel. May the faithful Lord comfort and strengthen Dr. Wunmi, Nifemi, Nimi, Toni as well as the biological and spiritual family you left behind. May your memory be a blessing forever.
Auf Wiedersehen.

I got to know Dr Deji a little over 2 years ago. In this short period I went from being his client to friend to brother. A kind, humble and genuine gentleman he made such an impact on me in this short period. I had hoped for a longer friendship with my brother but I am grateful I got to know him. May his gentle soul rest in the lord and may God comfort his wife and his children in jesus mighty name.

My Dear Ayodeji
Perfect Gentleman
Humility personified
Epitome of kindness
Epitome of Christ like love
Impeccable dresser
My Brother
My Birthday mate
A true Omoluabi!

Hmmmmm......
Two days after I learnt of your passing on to glory, still in shock, I called your number wishing you will pick but it rang out.
Deji, o ga oo!
Very hard to comprehend.....
However, who are we to question our maker.

A loving husband to my Sister Lawunmi.
An amazing Daddy to Nifemi, Nimi and Toni who is your spitting image.

Always willing to be stretched for the comfort of other people.
Always willing to give the helping hand.
You will quietly come in to church and worship your God.

I remember how you diligently took care of the then baby Nifemi (when Lawunmi went for her masters). Many men would have used that opportunity to throw caution to the wind but not Ayodeji.
You were the wonderful father and husband even during those period

Nobody could be obnoxious enough to upset you. Always seeing the good side of everyone.

Ayodeji, I will miss you, your smile and the way you will always look out for your Sis after service just to say hello.

“For we will discard our mortal “clothes” and slip into a body that is imperishable. What is mortal now will be exchanged for immortality. And when that which is mortal puts on immortality, and what now decays is exchanged for what will never decay, then the Scripture will be fulfilled that says: Death is swallowed up by a triumphant victory!
So death, tell me, where is your victory? Tell me death, where is your sting?”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:53-55‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Ayodeji, you have slipped into a body that is imperishable which will never decay.

Sun re oo, Aburo mi atata.

The home you left behind will be guided, lead and protected by The Lord Almighty whom you served diligently till the end.

O daaro Ayodeji.

Your Sis
Oluwabunmi

We know you are resting in the bosom of the Lord Dr.Deji. May Almighty God continue to comfort and strengthen My Sister, the children and the rest of the family. Amen.

Dear Egbon Deji,

The news of your death came with a rude shock to me but with total submission to the supremacy of God Almighty. You were indeed a jolly, down to earth man with an amiable personality. Really admired your style to life and grateful for the interactions with you. May God Almighty uphold and defend your wife and the kids you left behind. Continue to Rest In Peace.

Adieu!!!

Deji , my good friend. God took one of very few best human beings on earth. You were kind, trustworthy, God fearing and diligent in all your dealings.
The fact that you're no longer here will always cause us pain, but you're forever in our heart until we meet again. We pray for God's protection and grace over the the family you left behind.

Ayodeji,
Met you and your beautiful wife and I happened to nurse you when you were in Luton in 2019. It is sad the pain took over but I believe you're in a good place where there's no more pain. Rest easy till we meet again

Dear Deji
We met during your stay in Luton. We had a meaningful discussion and subsequently we met at your home in London. You always talked about humanity.
May You Rest in Peace
With my deepest sympathy
Vinod Tailor
