Dear Uncle,
I was thinking about you today so I decided to write you a tribute.
You were my favourite uncle. You were always smiling and laughing. If I ever felt sad I would think of you and it would make me happy. I miss you Uncle but you will never be forgotten. It's nearly your birthday and I wish you the best in heaven.
Love Tolu

Olumide, it feels like several years since you
left us. I miss the phone conversations. I miss your friendship. You are a man of many attributes, a strong man, a wise man, and a humble man.

I pray that God protect your family.

You're a trail blazer : The light path you left behind is forever shining and glowing bright. You're surely missed. R I P. OLU.

On this first anniversary of your being in eternity, the sweet memories of you continue to comfort us. We really missed you this summer and the children particularly your 'Little Lady' said on a number of occasions, Uncle Olumide would have been here as we missed all the good advice you would have given on Abbots Road. Anyway the remembrances we all have of you is always memorable and pleasant. Requiescat in pace good friend.

Rest in perfect peace.

My SP, you're out of sight, but not out of mind, rest in perfect peace till we meet again in the bosom of our maker... you are fondly remembered today.

Continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty dear friend and brother. You are truly missed.

One year has gone, they say time heals the wounds but it still hurts, it still hurts. May your soul continue to rest in peace

A thousand years is like a day in the eyes of the Lord, your place can never be taken, in the hearts of those who love you, you are still very much around as an angel, Sleep on beloved, for there will be the day that we all will come back together and surely it will be a day of rejoicing and we will shout and sing the song of victory. Thanks for who you are Olumide Oluwagbolahan omo Awe. You remain a precious Saint Triumphant....

Can't believe it's a year! Seems like yesterday.
Olumide, you are fondly remembered by my entire family. You are resting in peace.

Olu, cant believe it's a year already! I will not forget the long & last discussions Kayode & I had with u that cold afternoon in March 2014. You had called to thank me for the "ewa & agbado" you had when you & Bola visited me in London on my way to the US. We had to park at a rest area on US I 95N to continue the discussion when you mentioned the challenges of the previous year! We were thanking God the worst was over but He knows best & why He decided to take you when He did. Ooooooomide, continue to rest in the bosom of Lord. To Bola & the children the divine grace to continue to stay strong will not elude you IJN.

Rest in peace Doctor
Rest in peace.

We specially remember our dear friend and brother, Olumide, today, with pleasant memories which have remained evergreen. We deeply miss him.
Omoruyi & OV

Olumide,
How time flies, it's already one year since you left us for the great beyond. we miss you greatly particularly at our ICOB meetings. May the good Lord continue to provide, protect and perfect all the loved ones you left behind. You see us but we aren't seeing you but one day we hope to meet at the feet of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to depart no more. Blessings. Gibson

May your fine soul continue to rest in peace and may God give your immediate family Grace to live each day without you. Rip uncle Olumide

Dr, May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace

Dear Uncle. A year ago! You left a great legacy behind. May you continue to rest in peace.

Olumide, my brother my G. Can't believe a year has gone by, my only consolation is that you are in a better place. Continue resting in the bossom of the Lord

Continue to Rest In Peace!

It still all seems like a fairy tale, you went too soon! I am not sure, some of us will ever get used to the idea, that Life could be this dramatic. But you certainly made an impact, and you kept this secret to your chest. Which is where one ought give you the utmost Respect sir!

Very shocking that Olumide's gone for about a year now and I'm just stumbling on this now. What a shame! May his very fine Soul find eternal peace with our Creator.

Bros Olu,

We may have been all eating Jollof today! Our party together will continue with our Lord in Jesus name. Rest in peace.

Olumide, the sun set too soon; the light dimmed too early but it brings a kind of joy to remember a quintessential professional and a wonderful brother. The Lord is your light now in the land that knows no night. Rest peacefully brother.

FOR THOSE WE LOVE WITHIN THE VEIL, WHO ONCE WERE COMMERADES OF OUR WAYS. WE THANK YOU LORD FOR THEY ARE GONE TO CLOUDLESS RAY.
CONTINUE TO REST IN THE BOSSOM OF YOUR MAKER. WE ALL SHALL MEET BEYOND THE RIVER. YOU LOVED, AND THAT LOVE WILL FOREVER BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU. I STILL FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE SLEEPING FOR MEMORIES OF YOU ARE UNREMOVABLE, UNFORGETTABLE, OLUMIDE OLUWAGBOLAHAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WHO YOU REMAIN TO BE EVEN THOUGH WE CAN NOT MEET PHYSICALLY,
YOU REMAIN MY GUARDIAN ANGEL,

You are truly missed dear brother.
Love.

On behalf of the "67-73 Set", I pray for the prosperity and wellness of the family of Awe, our classmate, who would have been celebrating his 60th birthday today. I send this message on behalf of all members in loving and living memory: 

Olumide Oluwagbolahan Awe, there are not enough words to express your passing on from among your classmates of the "67-73 Set". We all miss you but Almighty God want you most. May your redemption and salvation be assured as you rest in peace among the angels of grace. We would have loved to have your presence at every roll call of the "67-73 Set" in perpetuity. But you departed early, to go on to the place of permanent comfort to meet with other departed members of the "67-73 Set" that are waiting in the hall of the angels of peace. We are prayerful that you have transitioned into a familiar environment, still in the company of familiar faces, and still cracking jokes as if you never left. Most importantly, Awe, remain watchful over your family and loved ones from your place of peace above in the gentle grace of Almighty God's protection, and in blessed memory that Almighty God will always protect your wife and your lovely children. Rest In Peace. Amen.

What a shocking news to hear about the passing of Dr. Olumide Awe!
I just couldn't believe until I read the memorial on the internet. Still in shock and doubt. It so impossible to forget Dr. Awe being our family doctor at Awe Medical Center Ebute Metta, Lagos. Very sad just recalling the several calls visits as we became family friends and the relationship transcended mere patient - doctor. This is so unreal but still true.
We pray for the repose of your soul and that God will keep the family particularly your wife and children.
Rest in perfect peace, our Doctor, Brother and Friend.

Dr. Olums, I heard of your passing on 'by chance'; my family and I add our prayers to the warmth, love and fond memories being expressed about you. We pray specially that GOD's grace accompany you on your journey, that you fulfil your Creator's purpose for you and that you continue to glorify HIM into all eternity. Abide in HIS Love for ever: Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!

Dear Colleague
It was very sad to here that you had passed away. I always had very hight repect for you and for all those years that we had worked for the same Trust our working relationship become even more closer when we worked in the women service in Juniper ward. I pray that your family find the strength to carry on where you had left. Rest in peace colleague.

Dear Uncle,
It is unbelievable that you are gone ,the news of your passing on came as a very rude shock to the family.Uncle you were a very good man, you will be greatly missed.Oh !!! I will miss your jokes and your Yoruba translations that always come with £10.00 .I pray that the good Lord will comfort , protect and guide your family. Uncle I know your are at the feet of Jesus where there is no pain and troubles. Uncle sleep on until we meet to part no more.
Aunty kekere

Olumide you will be greatly missed. You were a unique individual with time for everybody. You went out of your way to find time for everyone and you touched many lives. It is not how long but how well. Even though your life was short but it was well lived. I will miss you. My entire family will miss you. We will miss your annual visit to the USA. Nothing csn replace the joy you bring to people's lives. Sun re o

May your soul rest in perfect peace, and may the Lord console and uphold your wife,children and extended family left behind.

Uncle Olumide will be greatly missed. Rest in peace gentle uncle ....

You were indeed a remarkable human being. May God bless and comfort your wife and your legacies. You will be missed.

I first met Dr Awe as our Chemistry teacher at Igbobi College.

We were to later meet through ICOBA UK/Europe. I remember his telephone call to get some of us who had been irregular at meetings to be more active; and the one about the ICOBA Merit Award.

I still saw you at the Founder's Day Service and AGM in February - bubbly as usual; I did not realise you were going to bow out so soon.

I pray that God continues to uphold your family at this time and beyond.

May your gentle soul rest in the Lord's bosom.

Dear Olumide,

May you rest in peace. It was an honor and privilege to know you through my Uncle Russ. You will be deeply missed. Taken way too soon, my sincerest sympathy to your wonderful family.

I would like to begin by thanking the Almighty God for the life of my most wonderful, incredible and amazing brother and friend, Dr. Olumide Awe.

While time and space will not permit me to share it all, I just want you to know that forty-two years ago, I became an addition to the Awe family as a result of his love and kindness. While he was studying in Canada, Dr. Olumide Awe was constantly in touch with me. During his first home visit from Canada, he brought several gifts for me and made sure that I was home with the family to receive them. On several occasions, he encouraged me to apply to go to school in the same university that he attended but he was happy to know that I had chosen to go to school in Washington D.C.

Dr. Olumide Awe represented the epitome of love and kindness in my view. He genuinely cared about his family, his fellow human beings, he was compassionate and he was always willing to give selflessly and share without desiring something in return. He introduced me to his friends the O’briens and others. He introduced me to several old Boys that I neither knew nor met and reconnected me to others that I had previously lost touch with. I will always treasure the times I spent with Dr. Olumide Awe and his family in both London and Washington, D.C.

I read the tributes that were written by friends and family members in honour of my brother and friend Dr. Olumide Awe and I could not find anything to disagree with. You said it all but most importantly, you told the truth about his life and character.

Olu, you came to the world, you gave joy to all, you shared love and kindness with all and you helped me live and see it all. Thank you, thank you and most of all, thank you for taking me as your brother and true friend. I will never forget you and your family. Rest in peace my brother and true best friend.

Maurice Asuquo

Olumide knowing you was a blessing. Thank you for being a good uncle to the girls and a friend to Wole and me. I will miss the drop-ins as in 'I was in the area and decided to "drop-in" to see you. Always a pleasant "drop-in". I cannot imagine what Bola is going through,but I rest assured that JESUS is her Comfort and Succour. Your children are bearing well and are under the shadow of the Most High God.
REST YOU WELL TILL WE MEET TO PART NO MORE. Yetunde&Wole

Bros Olu,

A quiet but humorous gentle big brother, what a shock! You went too soon, but we know you've gone to a better place where we will all see again some day. A place where there is no sadness, no tears, no more death! Oh death where is your sting? Rest in peace.

Wow!! Total shock as you were just at my place couple of months ago!! May God grant you eternal rest in peace and I pray strength for Aunty and the children. You will be missed!

Olumide, you were such a selfless gentleman,very noble in nature and character .When beggars die ,there are no comets seen ,but the heavens themselves await to welcome a Prince like you .I am certain with all your good deeds ,you are certainly amongst the angels now .I wish to recount 2 great things you did for me and my family .The 1st was on 1st August 2009 ,when you had to shift the date of Icoba retreat, because of my daughter's wedding in london, more impressing was that you mobilized a lot of old boys to attend .Secondly in Nov 2010, you were the chairman of another daughter's wedding in sheffield Olumide I will remain eternally grateful for this exemplary show of love to my family .I pray and I hope ,I will be able to repay this brotherly love to yours ,God willing .Sleep on Olumide ,until we all meet on the resurrection day

I remember the last time i saw him was at the ICY Stakeholders forum at the Morehouse hotel in Lagos which my set the 73-77/79 set organised to review the report of the consultants on the conclusions of the Masterplan developed for the school. He attended all the way from the UK and also ensured that ICOBA UK contributed towards the fees charged by the consultants for the report. I attach his photograph from the day. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
