Innocent Emeka Agomuoh was the third child in a family of seven born to Mr and Mrs Sylvester Nwoko Agomuoh of blessed memory. He was born in Kafanchan Nigeria on April 11th 1956.He was raised a very good Catholic Christian with very humble beginnings. His elementary school was at St Peter Claver Catholic School in Kafanchan. He attended Mbaise Boys High School under My Nwogu as principal . Every student that went through that school during that era know exactly what I mean in terms of discipline. Innocent earned his undergraduate degree at Washington State University and his graduate degree from University of Michigan . He was a student leader while at Washington. Inno like I call him was hired from school by General Motors. He left GM after several years for Ford Motors in search of greener pastures. Until his accident in 2012 he was a project manager at Ford Motors. Inno was a man of his words,an eloquent speaker,good adviser,hard worker, always wore a smile despite the ups and downs of life.He was a loving husband to Janet,an excellent dad to Nikki and Dee,and wonderful brother to us all. He loved God and man.He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We thank God for sharing him with us. So long until we meet to part no more..

my dear Jane I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through but I pray that God will give you the strength to go through this devastating time.
inno RIP.
Inno, i spoke with you on the 18th of April 2016, concerning the goings or arrangements of my mother’s burial (your Aunt Mama-nete / Dattiti). I never knew that was our last discussion on earth.
The shock i had after the burial of Datiti on hearing about your passing on on 27th April, 2016 , only Heaven can quantify its gravity on me.
I can’t question God for He knows why and best too. Since He said in Ecclesiastics Chapter 3:1-8 that “To everything there is a season, and time to every purpose under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die......”
My dear Jane, Nikki, Diala and the entire family of Agomuoh, let’s be consoled and be comforted because there is no sorrow our God cannot heal, cure and remove. The bottom point is that Inno has fought a good fight, he is waiting till the resurrection morning when that crown of victory would be given to him.
Until then my lovely Jane, may God Almighty use this period of pain and trial to heal you completely in Jesus Name, Amen.
We are praying for you. Take care and God bless you all.

You and Mr. Innocent (My Cat Daddy, My Inno Man), I don't know where to begin, Well I guess I will start by saying that the moment you welcomed me into your home was the happiest day of my life. I say that because I have always thought of you and Mr. Innocent as my second family, and hearing about the sudden passing of a great man brings sadness to my heart.
The moment that he died my heart was torn in two, One side filled with heartache, the other died with him. I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering him is easy, I do it everyday, but missing him is heartache that never goes away. I hold him tightly within my heart and there he will remain. Until the joyous day arrives until we meet again.
Mrs. Janet although God has called his son home, I want you to know that I was honored to have meet someone so full of love, he has taught me to live life to the fullest and never take a day for granted. For that I will be forever grateful.
I am not a person who believes in "FATE" I believe in "FAITH" and I know that it was "FAITH" that brought us together and like I always told Mr. Innocent I will always be here for you no matter what, you are apart of my Life, I LOVE YOU & WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU. MR. INNOCENT I BELIEVE YOUR ULTIMATE DREAM HAS COME TRUE, & THAT'S TO WALK AGAIN.
"ANOTHER ONE OF MY GUARDIAN ANGELS IS NOW IN HEAVEN"
I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON & BACK
LOVE ALWAYS,
KIMBERLY

CONDOLENCE MESSAGE
It is with deep sense of loss that we received the sad news of the demise of your beloved husband Mr. Innocent Emeka Agomuoh who died on 19th April, 2016.
He lived a life dedicated to the service of God and humanity. He was a blessing to his family, the good people of Mbaise and the larger society.
As we mourn his exit, we pray to God to grant his soul eternal rest and to grant you and entire family the fortitude to bear the loss.
On behalf of my wife, children and Uka's family, we sincerely share with you and entire family the grieves of the moment.
Take heart our dear sister.
Mr. & Mrs. Sam O. Uka & Family

It is with great sadness that Community of Imo State Organizations in Michigan (CISOM) learned of the passing of Hon Innocent Agomuoh. This loss is deep and shocking to all of us and will be felt by many people in USA, Nigeria and around the world especially those who worked with him over the decades to set the pace for a sustained Igbo-Nigeria Community in Michigan. It is difficult to convey the depth of sorrow and sadness in our heart when one of our best, most esteemed and irreplaceable personality is gone to be back no more. We in CISOM grieve with deepest sorrow. Indeed we have lost one of our finest, and decent pioneer; who distinguished himself as the General Secretary of Igbo Cultural Association of Michigan (ICAM).
As we say our final goodbye to a man we admired, let us recall the esteemed contributions of the late Agomuo in community building a formidable diaspora community for all in USA and Michigan in particular. Hon. Innocent Agomuo demonstrated in every step of the way, that he is a civic builder, an amiable father and a husband whose voice always struck the balance when it truly mattered. He had an incredible character in the way he maintained his personal dignity and the way he treated everyone with respect; he was truly an extraordinary human being. We all love Innocent for these enduring characteristics, patronage, motivation, humility, advice and noble conscience. His role in the foundation of Igbo Cultural Association of Michigan is very remarkable. Overall, he stood for us whether it is Imo, Igbo, Nigeria, Africa and or American.
Time as we have come to see waits for no man. As God has it he will no longer walk on this planet. A decent flower was plucked from among us. If anyone doubts this aphorism, the death of this amiable man represents a sad and striking example of this truism. It is indeed a sad moment for us all.
CISOM sympathizes with the Agomuo family, Mbaise Cultural Association of Michigan, Imo Community USA, Igbo Cultural Association of Michigan and the larger Nigerian community for the passing of this pleasant and eminent compatriot. We stand to mourn one of our finest and most decent. We pray God to give you all the strength and fortitude to deal with this unfortunate incident and the grace to go through the enormous challenges of this time. May the gentle soul of this great patriot and friend – Hon Innocent Agomuo rest in perfect peace - AMEN! Adieu!

Family,
I pray that God will bring peace to your lives at this time of sorrow. We know that Inno is with God because he believed in our Lord Jesus. He will surely be missed.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our family will keep you lifted up in prayer.
Please remember, Earth has no sorrow, that heaven can not heal!
Enyi, Debbie and Stephanie Onwuegbuna
He will surely give you the strength to cope with this loss.
Inno, RIP.

Your husband was a man of peace, It makes sense that GOD needs him more. Calling him home to shield him from the changing world. Rest in the bossom of the LORD where goodness abides and sin has no place. We will meet you soon one day in that glorious place where Jesus is the light; where the services of the sun and the moon will no longer be required. Where we all will be awed by the presence of our Lord and all tears will be wiped away. I believe this with my whole existence. "You came, You impacted lives and now You have gone to rest with the Lord. The hole you left cannot be filled. The scars will always be there, but the Hope that we will see again at the last day is the strength that will keep us going. In the end, there is no end! Live goes on. "He was truly a man of God,an epitome of courage.So desirous to know God the more.Very outstanding when it comes to things about God.I lack the appropriate words to describe your person with.I am so convinced that you served God with all your life. And am convinced that the God you served dedicatedly will reward you by granting you eternal rest with him.And his presence will always remain with the loved ones you left behind.Keep resting Brother, Adieu

IGBO COMMUNITY IN MICHIGAN MOURNS MR. INNOCENT EMEKA AGOMUOH
On behalf of Igbo Cultural Association of Michigan (ICAM), we wish to express our heartfelt condolences with sincerity to the family of late Mr. Innocent Emeka Agomuoh, whose glorious presence passed by in April 19, 2016.

Innocent was my mentor at Ford. I aspire to be like him. I will continue to remember the talks we had. Please accept my condolences.
Thank you,

I worked with Innocent at Ford Motor Company for a short time. He was a very happy, intelligent, and enthusiastic individual. He was especially proud of his family and from the photos posted on this site, I can see why! You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Eternal rest grant unto Innocent, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
Amen.
God bless the Agomuoh Family,

Our hearts are broken right now. We are still in total shock about the passing of Innocent but cannot imagine what you guys are going through. Innocent was an amazing man when he was with us, and I know he left a significant impact on our lives. Know that your family members here in Boston are currently thinking of you.
May God bless you during this difficult time as well as in all of your future endeavors. May God also allow Innocent’s soul to rest in peace.
The Eleonu Family
Please accept my heart-felt condolences on the sudden passing of your loving husband / father. Be comforted by the undeniable truth of Emeka’s deep and amazing love for you. Though he is “Gone Too Soon”, you will always and forever cherish all the beautiful, caring memories you shared together as a family. I pray that God grant you the fortitude to bear the loss, and guide and protect you in all your endeavors. And may God grant his soul everlasting life. To God be the glory! Amen.
God Bless,

I shrieked over the phone like dying lion when I had the news; just few months ago I had from him, he encouraged me and cheered me up like a father. This few moments will always be remembered.
Indeed, life is not how you want it but definitely what God wants for you. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. It is well.
May Our Lord comfort and sustain his family, his wife and children now and always. May God Almighty keep him safe resting in perfect peace till resurrection day, Amen.!!!
Regards,
Jude Unegbu & Family
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless you.
I have known Innocent for over 20 years. He was an awesome person and I will miss him very much. He will always be remembered. His spirit lives on through his friend and relatives.
Sincerely,
Ralph Marx
I first met Innocent when I joined the iTalk Toastmaster club in 2005. From the first time I met Innocent to now, I remember the incredible energy he had, positive infectious spirit and his love of his family. I have thought often of Innocent since the car accident and miss seeing his brilliant smile at work. My heartfelt condolences on your loss. I know without a doubt that Innocent is now sharing that smile, energy and passion from above. He will always be with us as he certainly impacted everyone he met in a positive manner. I consider myself very fortunate to have known him.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I know Innocent loved you and your children so very much from our conversations at work. I pray for God's peace and comfort for you and your family during this difficult time. I also know Innocent loved the Lord, so remember "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord".
God Bless,
Joanne Dzieszkowski
