Dad,
It’s been a year already! Your memory is as dear today
 as in the hour you went to meet the Lord. We think of you in silence,
no eyes can see us weep;
but still within our aching hearts,
your memory we keep. A beautiful memory, dearer than Gold of a father whose worth can never be told. Keep resting with your Maker and by His grace we will see again at the Lord’s feet. We love and miss you dearly !!!


This memorial website was created in memory of our beloved Daddy, Ebenezer Falade, who slept in the Lord on 29th December, 2013 at the age of 67.We will remember him forever.

We appreciate your love, encouragement and support (in cash and in kind)and also for your prayers and comforting words and deeds during the final funeral rites of our father: Otunba Ebenezer Olusesan Idowu Falade. May your labour of love be rewarded by the Most High and may you live the rest of your days in excellent and radiant health. GOD bless and favour you always and in all ways. Thank you.

Daddy, I woke up one fine morning to the news of your demise and all I could do was cry! I don't do well with losses and this is such a huge loss! It is a blow too hard to recover from. I spent the rest of the day talking about you with my siblings.                              I remember your smile, your laughter, your quiet mien and how you would clap excitedly when driving home a point.                     I remember you being present at the hospital for the birth of your first grandchild; praying loud and almost in fear (because of the dicey situation), entreating God on my behalf.                          I remember your anguish whenever I go through storms and your deep grief when I made up my mind.......                                Your grandchildren say "that's grandpa's song" when we sing: 'Unto the lord be the glory great things He has done....great things He has done, greater things He will do..." And now I get teary eyed when I sing the song.                                                   So many memories! Best of all though is that you were a great companion to mum, a good dad and a well loved grandpa!......we will see again! (By His grace)

Daddy Falade, I will forever cherish those wonderful moments that I spent with you just before the Lord called you into his peace. Continue to rest in the bossom of our Lord.

I remember the last time I saw daddy. He was frail yet his grip was as strong as ever as he shook my hands and held me to his side in a warm embrace. I could see the physical pain in his eyes yet he smiled warmly as he asked about every member of my family! Daddy Falade had such a good heart, there was a special place in it for everyone! He loved his children to the core, he was like mother-hen! I am glad he has gone to rest in the bosom of the Lord who loves him more than we ever will. Sleep on sir and Good night. May God grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss. God be with you Kunle and my dear sister, Nifemi.

My darling Uncle, big brother, father, counselor and encourager all rolled into one, is that it? Are you really gone from this earth? Oh it's so so painful! There so much I will miss about you; my birthday will never be the same when you and Auntie would stay up till midnight so you're the first to wish me "Happy birthday", or your wise counsel, love, prayers, gisting....till late into the night: Thank you for who you were to us your family, be rest assured that your legacy of hard work, respect, integrity, love and family unity (and the love of Christ whom you served keenly to the end) will be upheld especially within us your family; Auntie, all your children, grandchildren, nephews nieces and cousins.

Dear Uncle, I received the news of your departure with great shock; of course death is a debt we all owe but it never occured to me that you were going to pay off the debt so early. You were one of those I loved so much that it never occured to me that you could even fall sick; my thoughts of you were of a super strong man who never falls sick but I guess I was wrong......, in my days at Unibadan, no matter how cash strapped I was, just a visit to 'Broking House', your office, puts me back in 'black'...; Uncle Sesan, you were a counsellor per excellence. Your words of encouragement and guidance all through the years contributed to moulding me and many others; I know you have peace where you are so no more pains......, goodnight my dear Uncle Sesan till we meet at Jesus' feet

My Egbon as I usually referred to you.
How sad to hear the news of your passing on to Glory.
You spoke to both Dem and myself on the phone very warmly and with a very genuine sense of humour. I know the Lord knows why HE took you away so soon. What a big loss for everyone who knows you. Our thoughts and prayers go to our dear friend Abimbola and the entire family. May God be their support . Rest in Perfect Peace.

Uncle Sesan,

My Darling, my Friend, my Companion and Confidant. A devoted & loving Husband, a doting & wonderful Dad, and an adorable Grandpa, who showed love in so many different ways to all whose paths crossed his. A tribute here cannot do justice to all the years of love,friendship & companionship that we shared in peace and togetherness as words cannot describe what we meant to each other.
It is indeed joy to me and the children when we think of so much that you kindled into life. An exemplary life of passion for God and compassion for men. I shall thank the Lord forever for your life and say of Him that He is good!
Thank you for passing on to us a legacy of a loving and God centered family. Etched in our hearts shall remain pleasant memories of you and your last words and prayers.
To say I, Abimbola, will miss you is to say the obvious but i shall not grieve like those without hope for I know where you are.
Oluwasesan, you are not dead, just gone ahead. By His special grace, when the roll is called up yonder, i shall be there with you in glory.
Till then,your memory I shall hold dear and our God shall remain the strength of our family life and forever our portion in Jesus name.
Sleep on beloved and have your well deserved rest.



Your darling wife,

Abimbola Rhoda

Dear Daddy,
It's so sad that you are gone too soon. The consolation we have is that you are in a better place, cheering us up to keep running the race.
You will be forever missed. Sleep on, beloved Daddy.

Daddy, you were one in a million, your love for your fellow man surpassed that of an average human being and you were able to achieve this because you followed wholeheartedly the doctrines and laws of your Creator. You were a honest, candid and straightforward man, you were almost without blemish. You loved us your children that anytime our paths crossed, you say prayers that made us survive our everyday struggles. It is often said that, the Righteous do not live long on the surface of the earth because God needs them to be on His side before the world corrupts them. I believe you are in a better place where your Creator needs you more than this world, in this ‎​i'm truly consoled. Daddy, continue to rest in the bossom of your Creator. The candle i light tonight indicates you'll continue to remain alive in our hearts. Good nyte Grandpa.

Daddy daddy……It is still hard to believe you are gone but knowing that you are resting in a place free of the troubles of this world gives me hope.

Baba Atiye... so many images come to mind
whenever I say your name;
It seems without you in my life
things would have never been the same.

What happened to those days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
If I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the Dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, JESUS, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you hug my Dad
and give him all my love.

LORD JESUS, though i don't understand
why he had to suffer and leave so soon
but i appreciate you for granting him
the greatest miracle of all:

ETERNITY

Daddy kunle, hmmmm where should i start from. He was a perfect gentle man always smiling that lovely smile i can never forget..He was a wonderful father, not only to his children kunle and nifemi but also to cousins, nephews and every child he came in contact with. He was a bundle of encouragement and he always pushed us to be the best we could be in every aspect of our life, He taught us my brother and i that hard work paid off. When we did well in school he would encourage us by buying us something or giving us money. He is a father indeed..May the Almighty God grant you eternal rest..Adieu daddy.

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, ‘Peace bethine’.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But we are consoled, that you are in a better place...
Rest in Peace........

If I could write a story
It would be the greatest ever told
Of a kind and loving father
Who had a heart of gold

If I could write a million pages
I will still be unable to say, just how
much I love and miss my adorable Dad.
During the day I have to be strong
I try so hard to show that nothing is wrong.
But at night my tears will flow,
it was just so sudden you had to go.
People keep asking if I'm ok,
the answer is no but its yes I say.
I'm trying to move on,
but it's just not fair that you are gone.
I do not have any hate in my heart,
but I was not ready for a new start.
Rest in peace…..I love you...

Oluwasesan my darling, the kingdom of God reached its fulfillment in your life exactly 10 years ago today. You have gone ahead but not forgotten. Time really flies but God has indeed been faithful! We thank and glorify His name for the grace that has seen us this far.
Thank you for all you were. You will always be remembered for times shared and the legacy of good works in Christ.
May your peaceful rest remain eternal and may God continue to keep and sustain all you left behind.
Grace, Peace and Strength be multiplied on to us in Jesus name.
Love today and forever.

Uncle, I can’t believe it was 10 years ago in my brother’s church in Houston Texas, when the news of your glorious but premature exit came through my phone, it was the worst 6hour flight back home processing the grave news, the reality that I would never see you in person again or listen to your wise counsel.

I still miss you so much, so many things remind me of you and so many additions to our family that would have gladdened your heart. You really were gone too soon.

Continue to enjoy your rest my gentle egbon till we all meet to part no more amen .
