One year is gone but I still see Papa and Mami in the compound. I can still hear their voices. I can see Mami preparing chua. I can still smell the shah. I can hear Papa admonishing Beckley and Pepito. I can see Julie and I lying on our bed adjusting the fan.
The memories of the Fawoh home will live with me forever. Thank you for being my second parents when many turned their backs on me. May your souls have peace. Love always Julie, Mami, Papa. Thank you for all the love and lessons

Our dear father, your simplicity in life is a big lesson to us. Jesus Christ your master led a simple life, and you followed in his footsteps. I know you are already with him. Sleep well Papa and greet Mami and sister Julie for us.

When death comes, it brings with it the memories of the past. Papa mad mami Fawoh, you both were my second parents in Limbe.

Memories of Julie who got me close to you will always be cherished. As you reunite with these two, may your Maker give you rest. May he remember your good deeds, your generosity, your open door policy to me and many others.

Papa"s house was always full....more than ten mouths to feed! Oh, how mami will cook for all. The chua which I always enjoyed....I remember how papa will return and ask if I had eaten! As if I were a child.

Papa, thank you for teaching me to show love to STRANGERS....I know your children have also copied this.
In the great beyond, where you are now, may your good deeds speak for you.

Rest in peace papa. You fought a good fight, ran the race and my prayer is that yoyr creator will crown you...his faithful servant.

Your daughter, Mojoko

Papa, as we always called you. I am grateful to God for the father you were to me, my family, and to many. I remember how caring and loving you were to us especially in our childhood. A father who cared about the well being of the kids around him, and treated all without discrimination.
Papa, the memories of your home being a place of safety will never fade. I used to run to your home when I was afraid of being beaten ( of course for doing something wrong) because I knew you will be at home to help me. I came home to present my husband to you and late mami in 2018 and you were both happy and welcoming as always. The last word I remembered was " maybe next time you come we might not be alive." I said no to it within me because I wanted to see you and mami as long as God kept you. Hmm, God's will has been done and who are we to question it.
Your legacy will continue to live on for who you were to the community. We love you but God loves you more. Adieu papa.

Just when we had hope that Pa Fawoh would recover, we received the news that we all dreaded: his passing on to eternity. We needed him here longer but he had finished his assignment and God called him home. While it is a loss for the Fawoh family and for us all, we thank God because papa is in a better place, having put his trust in Jesus and served him faithfully till the end. A man of integrity and a father to many, Pa Fawoh will be greatly missed. I am grateful for his fatherly love towards our family. May God grant his peace to the Fawoh family during these difficult times.

First off, I like to extend our deepest condolences to the Fawoh family. Our families have merged over the years to one and doing life together. We have lost a father, a dedicated goal getter, an architect of peaceful community living in Pa Fawoh. From my young years to adulthood my sibling and parents have closely interacted with Pa Fawoh in all aspects of life. His simple choice of life made it easy for everyone to access his very kind heart. I belief most new born children in the neighborhood started walking fast thanks to his creative wood carven kid walkers. At the level of the church, he played a key role in promoting advancing the gospel through his giving and participation. As the youngest of those in the men's fellowship at the time, I enjoyed our interactions and Pa's quest for excellence. He was a fierce advocate for right living and wanted everything to be properly done. My childhood best friend, Philemon and I made our homes our home. Our sibling interacted and respected each other genuinely. Our parents did not distinguish one as the Fawohs or the Nganjis. I cannot recall anytime our parents quarreled, rather alot of eating together, farming together, standing for each other. Pa Fawoh was more of a brother to my late dad just as late Ma Fawoh was a sister to my mom. I have reflected severally on the losts we have recorded and come to terms with Ecclesiastes 3- a time to be born, a time to die. God's design for life is ultimate and this hard part of life lives on from generations to generations. We will continue to laugh together, we will continue to weep together. What consoles us is that someday we would be stuck together to part no more. Sickness, curses, struggles would be an ancient concept, we will be free and happy expressing our love to our creator in endless songs of praise and worship. Rest well our loved ones, gone before , Pa Fawoh being the latest of them all. Farewell!

Life they say is so short. Indeed it short. I lived most part of childhood far from the family, the closest person being Nelson. But when I started working, I became close to pa Fawoh. Even in church when young people started handling events or positions, I became close this wonderful father. His type is rare. Pa Fawoh was jovial, always fun to be with, creative, easy to understand, God fearing. He was really a rare germ. May he rest well.

Pah Fawoh was always a simple man. That's what I loved about him. He did what he needed to and didn't seek any recognition. That left a significant impact on me as a young man growing up in New Town

Biography of Late Pa Bomeh John FAWOH

March 12
by fawoh nelson on behalf of Fawoh Philemon
on behalf of Fawoh Philemon
Pa John Fawoh was born in 1940 in Mbat village – Nwa Sub-division of the Northwest Region. He was the first child out of Seven children between Pa Fawoh and Mama Maria Bemah, all of blessed memory.

Family and Professional Life

After completing Standard 6 education, he moved to Ndu in 1961 where he enrolled in carpentry training under the tutorship of late Mformi Abraham Nwentso. When he finished his training, he was recruited by the Cameron Baptist Convention Projects Team for the construction of the Baptist Theological Seminary Ndu. Due to his brilliant performance, he was commissioned from Ndu to Victoria in 1965 to again participate in the construction of Saker Baptist College (SBC Victoria) with other foreign experts and missionaries.  

In 1966, he got married to Ms Njenica Mambiang who immediately joined him in Victoria. They rented an apartment at Itutu street, near Mukonya Garage where he also ran his private carpentry workshop as a means of multiplying his source of income. In 1970, he constructed his first house, an 8-room wooden building at West-End, and relocated his young family to their new residence. They were blessed with 5 children (Julie, Lawrence, Philemon, Beckly, and Nelson), with the first two also of blessed memory.

He continued working at Saker Baptist College as the lone operator of the heavy machinery at the carpentry workshop after the departure of Rev Huffman and his Team of technicians. He went on to train scores of persons at his privately run workshop as well as those employed by the Mission. Due to his integrity and experience, he was again commissioned in 1998 for the construction of the special retreat and tourist resort center at Camp Saker in Bimbia. He worked alongside Pst Kuyu Emmanuel who was the project lead.  He officially went on retirement in 2005 but continued to offer scaled-down services to the college until 2019 when he stopped working for health reasons.

Spiritual Life

Pa John Fawoh immediately became a member of Mizpah Baptist Church when he moved to Victoria in 1965. He was later voted into the Board of Deacons under the leadership of the late Rev Steanne Eko. He also remained a very committed member of the Cameroon Baptist Men’s Fellowship (CBMF) Mizpah and held different posts of responsibility. Going to church early before the start of service was his lifestyle which earned him a recognition by the church, amongst many other awards. He was nominated into the Mizpah Baptist Church Project Team that was created to oversee the current church expansion that started in 2013. Just like other members of the project committee (Late Mr. T. Bodylawson and late Mola Ilongo), he lived to see only the progress of work as they could not finish the gigantic church edifice they started. He was a man of prayer, fervent worshipper and peace maker who dedicated his entire life serving God and humanity.

Socio-Cultural Life

His love for togetherness amongst people led him to become member of many cultural organizations. He was a founding member and President of the Nwa General Meeting in Victoria (now Limbe) in 1977.  He led the organization for 33yrs and decided to step down in 2010 against the will of most members who admired his leadership style. He was also a founding member of Mfumte Cultural and Development Association (MFUCUDA) Limbe as well as the Mbat Development and cultural Association (MBADECA) where he also served as president for many years. He was appointed spokes person and technical adviser of Donga Mantung Cultural and Development Association (DOMACUDA) in Limbe. He was given a special traditional recognition and decoration by Mantung Cultural and Development Association (MACDA) in Magba in 2011 to appreciate him for the many years of service to the Nwa Community all over the Republic.

Humanitarian Service

Serving humanity was a great passion of Pa Fawoh. He directly and indirectly impacted the lives of countless persons whom he directly sponsored their education or professional training despite his low-income earnings. His home was shelter to both relations and strangers alike. Sometimes many people would ask who his real children were since there was always many people in his home who could not be distinguished.

Most Sakerettes would remember him as a reliable intermediary between them and their parents. He sacrificed to collect and deliver basic needs to students whose parents were in distant locations and could not visit them during visiting days.

He intervened in many instances to safe the marriages of most couples from breaking up. Many spouses rushed to him to report marital crisis and through love and wisdom, he settled such crisis and established peace in their homes. Some sarcastically nicknamed his house “Supreme Court” due to the frequency of disputes referred to him for resolution.

Last Days

Pa Fawoh suffered a stroke on 19th January 2019 that caused him to stop working and left him slightly incapacitated. His dear wife who was his strength and helper suddenly departed to glory on 23rd June 2021 leaving him completely devastated. He fell sick on Sunday 5th March and gave his last breath on the 9th March 2023. He leaves behind three sons, many grandchildren and a host of family members and friends to mourn him.

A Dieu Papa

Once upon a time there lived a caring father called pa Fawoh at west end. I grow up seeing him as a dynamic capenter at saker Baptist College and as a humble and peaceful father in church. He was so meek and humble. As i grew up as a young girl, i admired  his humility to children even when we visit his home. Hardly will he treat us differently from his children.
Pa you will always remain  in our hearts for your kind nature. I remember when mama died you said the burden  was too much. I encouraged you to lean on God because he knows why. Daddy your works are eminent, the raise is done. Meet your God  find rest and peace.We are proud of you.

One thing is sure, you will be greatly missed. You're gone to be with your maker. We glorify God in this as we are left with all the sweet memories of west end - New Town, Saker Baptist College and Mizpah Baptist Church. Farewell pa John Fawoh...
