My darling easygoing unassuming amiable evergreen, smiling brother has left us without a bye! Dear JD , I know you were cut short of so many dreams and visions ! I know you had much to accomplish not relenting of your many accomplishments! I know you wanted and wished for  a better tomorrow for Nigeria ! I know you saw the best in everything that was the push that made you invest in your dear fatherland ! Sadly, I know now it’s deep rich red soil was not able to fight for you when you needed that help which meant the bridge between life and death ! I also do not know what was going through your mind within those last critical minutes of your life’s valley of decision !However,I do know the angels of God were waiting to take you airborne into glory! We shall always miss your amiable nature ! Please look down on us from heaven ! Watch your wife and family ! I love you brother ! You have left an indelible prints in our hearts! Sleep on brother but don’t forget to ask God for quick vengeance on those who sent you ;a complete gentleman per excellence to an early cold grave ! I could go on and on but it’s because my heart still hurts ! I couldn’t sleep last night ! The medication didn’t work ! I thought we be hugging you in October at the reunion but is never going to happen ! We shall always miss your gentle soul! Rest on brother ! GAP has lost a dear big heart! Babyface loves you !

I am still in shock but my consolation is that it is the lord who gives that also takes. May God console those you left behind especially your mum and your dear wife Toyin. The GAP family will not forget you. Adieu John and may the good lord grant you eternal rest.

My favourite Aburo who always had a smile on his face, hard-working to the core and highly intelligent. Will miss you too much.. Will forever love you great Gem!

Johnny, you will forever be missed.
