Thinking of you today on what would have been your 18th. May Almighty Allah grant you Eternal rest/ Aljanah firdaous.
We will always remember you
Yemi Olubajo

Jamal, continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord. Heaven has definitely gained an Angel. Sun Re O!!!!!

"We tenk God" today, and always. Keep watching over us from way up above! Sun re o! Omo Olomu aperan; omo oloro agogo!

..



Abdul-Jamal, we remember you today, because this would have been your 18th birthday. But, we have since accepted the will of God. He knows best. Continue to rest in perfect peace. Ameen.


…

So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good care of you for us

SO GO AND RUN FREE (Author Unknown)

We are grieving and hurting Jamal; we hurt so much and it’s bad.

However it does so because your departure was so sudden.
We will not let your departure overshadow your life Jamal.

Instead we’ll focus on the 17 wonderful years of love and happiness that you gave the family. From infant to man you have been nothing but pure light. And for this I am grateful to God that I was privileged to experience your life.

It doesn’t preclude us missing you though.

It doesn’t preclude the abundance of tears.

You were our star and we are going to miss you much.

We are grieving and hurting Jamal; but only because we love you so much.

Rest in peace my dear boy

Love always

Your uncle Jubril

Dear Lola,

The loss of a loved is an experience you can't get over. I however pray that the God of peace fill your heart and family with His peace and may God fill the vacuum created by Jamal with His presence. 
Stay blessed .

Hmmm five months today CAN'T STILL BELIEVE IT OR EVER GET OVER IT. We miss everything about you , Jamal we don't even buy bread anymore as it goes to waste . Please my people appreciate whatever you have and make the best moment of spending time with your loved ones , cannot see, speak , hug etc my lovely Son :-(
Pain , it is traumatic , I don't pray the experience of death for anyone. Whatever the situation we still have to be thankful for our lives and our beautiful daughters and Jamal's legacy. Jamal continue to rest in the blossom of the Almighty Allah . God bless you all Lots of Love

Sleep on in peace Jamal...Sleep on.

3 months on and every day I wish I could have had one more conversation with you, just to tell you how amazing you are and much you mean to me my brother. I continue to pray for your family during this time. I know you're in a better place and I hope to talk to you soon. Rest In Peace.

It's been 3 months, Jamz, and not a day has passed without thoughts of you coming to my mind.... The pain persists; I'm sure now that it won't ever go away, cos it's going away means I'm then able to forget you which is impossible. I will forever remember you my lovely nephew. I wish RIP could mean 'Return If Possible.... Then I would have gladly sat all day and night by your tombstone waiting for you to return. I love you and can't stop crying still. See you again, someday, but for now, it's good night.

In Allah's care you rest above my brother,in our heart you rest with love.
We will always love and remember you.
Memories of you are cherished and we will always keep forever.

Rest in peace.

Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon

Gone Too Soon

Jamal, 3 months on and the pain of your early departure is still as intense as the day the shrilling sound from your friend tore through the quiet and broke the dreadful news.

But you have given us such wonderful memories , you seemed to pack into 17 years what people strive to pack into a score and 10. There were times on hearing Jamal this, Jamal that, I was convinced there had to be more than one friend called Jamal. So wise, so talented , very giving , an uncommon young man , a true and loving friend to 'fam'. Yes you have left quite the legacy, giant footprints in the sands of all our lives and however your family choose to entrench your legacy we commit to supporting .

May you continue to rest in peace In Jesus name . Amen

Jamal, below is a tribute I posted on your Mum’s Facebook wall on 25 July, 2015. It says everything I think most people feel about you. Sleep well, Great One.



…..




Lolade and Dapo,

You are the mother and father of a great man, a wise head on a young shoulder, an avatar sent to the world on a mission by Almighty God, a messenger He chose and purposed to put under your care as your son. When his work was done, God called him home and now leaves us asking questions. Yet, whatever question we ask, we cannot question His will. Lolade, you have particularly been an inspiration. You are a mother and a wife in a million. The way you and your daughters carry yourselves in this period is a testament to the uncommon strength you guys have. You said yesterday you cannot forget Jamal forever, but this is even beyond you. Jamal has touched so many lives, young and old, that today even though you have lost him, you and Dapo have gained many children – children who looked up to Jamal as their leader and inspiration. Jamal has come and planted; it is for you and the rest of us to make what he planted grow. There can be no better and more befitting legacy than to do something that will keep his mission alive. Dapo, you wondered how you are going to wake up every morning to repeatedly accept that Jamal is not coming back. But he has not gone anywhere. He is still here with you and the family in spirit and you know. All that has happened is that you have gained another angel interceding on your behalf with God. You said you are like in a trap and you don’t know how to get out of it. Yes, it is true that you will remain in this cycle of grief for sometime, but you will have to step out sometime to acknowledge the greatness of Jamal and do something about entrenching his legacy. You will do that happily, because he is a blessed child and an uncommon young man who has with his passing taken the family to another consciousness plane. Lolade and Dapo, be rest assured that whatever you choose to do by way of entrenching Jamal’s legacy, we your friends would be happy to be part of it. Jamal is not only an inspiration to his young friends; he is an inspiration to us too. May the Lord continue to grant you and the rest of the family the fortitude to bear this loss. May Jamal’s mighty soul rest in perfect peace. Amin.

Dear Family of Jamal,

I'm sorry that you are experiencing the mourning of losing a love one. Many if not all of us has experienced this, but I would like to share a brief scripture that will may just bring you comfort.

(Acts 24:15) "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."

Thanks for reading.

May your soul rip. May God comfort all those you left behind esp. Your parents, sisters and all well wishers. Keep watching over us.
Still so surreal!

Gone too soon !!!! Only God can heal the pain, fill the void and comfort your loving family. Rest in Peace angel! I pray continually for comfort and strength for the Ottun Family. Always in my thoughts n prayers. Ona n Family

Words cannot describe, we can only be grateful for the time you shared with us. As if you were sent here for a purpose, to brighten the lives of everyone you met, to leave a big smiley face and to be always remembered for all that is good.
Indeed from Allah we come and unto Him is our return. Inna lillahi wa inna ilaehi rajiun. May Allah forgive and overlook your shortcomings, may you be at peace with your Lord, may He grant you the highest place in Paradise and we pray to meet to part no more.
To your family, our heartfelt condolence, and our prayers and thoughts are with you. May the Most Merciful strengthen you all. Amin.

Jamal you are always in our thoughts and prayers daily.
I remember you especially today as the "A" level results are out today but you had made your departure before the results of your hard work is made public.
Continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord.

May the Lord bless you and your family and may you realize how others emphathize with you for the greatest loss you have gone trough. donna Star

Dapson so sorry for your loss, i am lost for words while i am still flebbergasted. My God will give you the strength to overcome this trying period. May Allah accept Jamal's soul. RIP

Jamal, still cannot believe you are gone. I remember the first time i met you and all we talk about was football. All i can remember is the way Dapson called you "my son". Must be really tough for him right now but i know if you could tell him everything would be alright i bet you would. I miss you so much lil man. I pray that God will give us all the strength to bear the loss but we will always have you on our hearts. I will never forget you jamal....never. You were everything one could wish for in a son. I will always love you my boy. May Allah be with you.

My precious Nephew, you will be loved, missed and cherished forever. My heart goes out to Lolade, Dapson, Zainab and Ramat. You have left your footprints in our hearts forever. Sleep well, Son. Lots of love.

I am so sorry for your loss and may God be with him forevermore

Rest in peace Jamal. May the good lord receive you with open arms and I pray for Ottun family. May Allah bless you

Jamal may your beautiful soul find and rest in the bosom of almighty God. I pray to God to comfort all your loved ones left behind, especially your parents and siblings. RIP

My dear Jamal. Still can't believe you are gone. You were such a wonderful son Jamal. Will never forget our arguments over football. Our trips to the emirate. The way you rush to pick up my bags whenever I arrived. Your very respectful and accomodating mind will definitely be missed by all. RIP my dear son. You will forever be in our minds.

Words are few, thoughts are deep. God bless and keep you in his care. Rest in perfect peace dear Jamal

Very fond memories of you will live with me for the rest of my life... My "Jamz"; the little boy who, aged 3, would wait up for me to return from work, just so I could hold him in my arms while he watched "Dragonball Zee!" He would say excitedly "aunts, that's Goku, that'Gohan and picker boo (dunno if I got these spellings right as I often would have been tired from the drive back home, lol). You would be scared to watch alone so you would answer the bell at the first ring, cos you were always sure it was me... "aunts, that's the bad man" you would calmly point out to your aunts who would by then be half asleep! I honestly never thought a day like this would ever come; never thought I would live to see your own passing. Took it for granted it would most certainly be the other way round, but.... You were a very cute little boy and it's no wonder you grew to be the fine, respectful, intelligent and inquisitive lad that you were. There is soooo much on my mind, Jamz but I will keep the rest in my heart and cherish these for ever. You will for ever be on my mind, and I will continue to love and remember you till we see again. In the meantime, you sleep tight, son. I'm so proud to have had you as my nephew and my family. Love you always.

May The Light guide your path home dear Jamal. Laugh your way into the presence of God and angels....heaven has gained one happy angel.
