I met Kayode through Rosie. She introduced Kayode to a group of us - Acumen EA fellows in Nov 2015. I remember the first time I saw Kayode. He was seated alone playing his classic guitar very softly, you could bearly hear him. I didn't know I would get to meet him. I thought that is so cool- a guest in the hotel who really loves his guitar, he carries it with him to relax after a days work. Nice.
What was struck me most was his personality. He was a gentle soul and would give you his undivided attention. During the seminar he shared about his life and his journey- He had intense passion and the transformation as he spoke about what he cared about was very fascinating. Both of us being early risers we met at breakfast to chat. On a one- on - one interaction he would speak very softly and look you straight in the eye. He would ask very deep questions that would challenge your thoughts. He made you comfortable to speak our thoughts but you would leave there feeling so challenged at the same time. I felt like he was my best friend who I suddenly discovered. He helped me think critically about many issues regarding my social enterprise. He definitely loved his daughter and spoke proudly of her. He also deeply missed his mum too who was a vital pillar in his life.
He had everything to brag about but was very humble. You could not believe that he has and in my mind was still a high roller , worked in Wall Street and yet was so down to earth. He is passion for exercise, healthy living was infectious and I could not believe he help me eventually get to do split :-) by learning how to stretch.
I remember as I was evaluating my experience I was bit cross - with Rosie- that we had spent such a short time with him. It was kind of selfish of me to have wanted that he spent his whole time in Nairobi with us Acumen Fellows. Kayode could not be contained in time. The time was just not enough. I'm glad that he has such a huge impact on people and recorded it in film.
He made me feel special too. It may look like a small thing, but I asked him to like my Facebook page which he did. I'm still grateful that he granted me that huge favor. He also kept me up-to date with what he was doing. All the recordings he would send me a link to watch them. I'm glad that he has been immortalized by film and other people will too get to experience his charm, passion and experience.
What more can one say about Kayode. You will definitely be missed. I'm grateful to God to have briefly interacted with you and I'm thankful.
You were such a wonderful person, and an amazing dad! You brought inspiration, motivation, light and warmth to so many. You inspired me in many ways, and I am forever grateful for that. I’m thankful to have known you. And I thank you for being you. So disciplined. So compassionate. So humble. And with a strong sense of values. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR BEING SUCH A LOYAL FRIEND.
Thank you so much for caring about me, and for all the motivation, encouragement, and for always being on my side, and cheering me on. You would say things like” I’m rooting for you”, “Well done”, “Keep at it”. Thank you so much for those kind words! You told me so many times that you have so much respect for me. Now, it even means so much more to me. You were someone I truly admired, and am honored to have had you as a friend, and in my corner.
You left a great legacy in Tolu, and in your music, martial arts practice, fitness, mentoring, social and community work. You mentored so many. Your life was a blessing, and will always remain one. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I thank God for sending you our way.
I still remember the first song you played for me on your guitar: ‘Tears in heaven’ by Eric Clapton. Such a moving, beautiful song, and you performed it so marvelously. Yes, “there’ll be no more tears in heaven.” I trust you are smiling now, and so full of joy, and warmth and light as you always were, here on earth. I also trust that you are re-united with your mum, whom you missed so much.
You will never be forgotten, Kay. And like I told you, Tolu is going to go places with her music, and you will always live through her, and through all your work.
Tolu: I pray that God continues to comfort you, and grant you peace and strength to go through the loss of your dad. Just know that he will always be with you in spirit. Sending you love and big hugs.
Kayode: You touched so many lives positively. I am so grateful that our paths crossed. Thank you so very much for being you, and for being such a loyal friend!
May God comfort all your loved ones.
Shine on, my dear friend!

Where do I start from,we met while I was still in the banking industry ,2003/4 as a Treasurer and we became quite close.
Initially it was professional(you trained all of us Treasury @MBC International bank) but progressed to a deeper level.I recall several visits my wife and I made to your house in Ikoyi.You were at my 40th birthday.We still spoke this year and I have the last text you sent to me.
Its quite surreal.Whenever we spoke,we talked about Tolu,whom I have never met but I know you are so proud of.We even discussed daddy and the fact that he was aging but still keeping on.We were meant to see,but I did not get round to honouring that invite to the house.
I really will miss you.I can never forget all the things you taught us during the training while I was at MBC,it helped me tremedously later in my career and actually gave me bragging rights at a course I attended in Cambridge in 2004.
You were so down to earth,always willing to help.This I leveraged on when the bond market was about taking off and we asked you to speak at a function organised by then employers Associated Discount House.You did this gladly and witbout any hassle,fuss or fee!
Even i left banking we kept in touch.......
I could go on and on but I have to stop and console myself with the memories for which I thank God,that is all I can do now.
I pray that God would comfort Tolu,Daddy and other family members and friends.Amen

Pls i look forward to hearing from u my dear far away families....especially Tolulope fahm....we met at the ceremonial at muson school of music Nigeria...
Oh, the best gift of time always came from you. You listened and always found a way to share and care~ That level of discipline and reliability smh.
Rest well, friend!
A few weeks later you invited me over and we watched "The Last Samurai" together. I'd never watched a movie with anyone who analyses so much and after the movies, you asked me so many questions and I was like "what's wrong with this guy sef?". But then, you took that movie apart and showed me the lessons to be learned, the courage of the samurai, their honour, the danger of a weak leader (the emperor), the love, acceptance and forgiving spirit of the Samurai (with regards to Tom Cruise's character). Wow! so much I'd missed because I was focussing on the action.
I remember the last time we spoke, you said we should catch up before I left for Canada, but I was to busy to even type a proper response. Now how I wish I called, and we caught up. Now I shall never be able to share how it all went.
Thank you for being a good person and leaving us with your knowledge and guidance as contained in your videos and various charity works.
Rest in peace Kayode.
I still can’t believe you are gone. You’ve always loomed larger than life, not just from your physical size, deep voice and sheer presence but also the moral compass with which you looked at the world.
I met you as an investment banker and ended up knowing you as a musician, a fitness buff, a teacher, a motivational speaker and an all-round social warrior making an impact on all those who had the privilege of simply running into you.
Your exit has created a painful void. However, you continue to live in our hearts and the hearts of all those your works, your voice, your music and presence has touched. May God hold you gently in his bosom until the day we all meet again to part no more.
I'm grateful for our friendship, and the great example of modesty you have been. Grateful I am, for you introducing me to classical guitar technique almost two decades ago, and for letting me record you play Cavatina. You led a remarkable life...and it's so sad to accept that you've gone so soon. It ain't fake news afterall! i keep wondering if you saw this coming??? - you made such an impact in your altruistic endeavors these last few years, your passion was infectious! I pray the Lord God Almighty to grant us all comfort at this time, and especially Leyla who you love so much,..and grant us all the grace to pay forward (to others) and emulate your sacrifices of love to all you met in your world. Good night my very dear friend Mr Fahm
3 weeks ago, you posted on your LinkedIn page "Always believe you can..." in one of your fitness video which I commented on and your response was "Thanks Godwin and much appreciated..glad you liked it
You could have been anything in the whole world, but most of all, you were just the straightforward You. Nothing More, Nothing less. Kayode Fahm, Fullstop, Deal with it.
The No frills, No Thrills leader.
The world just lost one.
Beloved Cousin, you will be laid to rest today, I can't believe it Just 10 days exactly 10 days before you passed we spoke at length ...none of this was discussed,
The tears keep rolling am trying hard to push them back, you said we will see soon you were going to be part of the project I was working on but to think that that will never happen... what can I say
Egbon mi,from afar you were a father figure,a friend and a great mentor! You were simply different. A gem of inestimable value. Through this years as much as you could you provided support every time I spoke with you on the phone it was that of a father to a daughter.
In fact my entire career path thus far was tailored alongside yours you were a very successful investment banker an accomplished trader you were a fountain of knowledge and expertise with depth and professionalism and you carried it with graceful simplicity.
Where I do I start from, my daughter is so upset she was hoping to meet you during summer holidays, Cuz everyone is heartbroken but we all take solace in the fact that you lived well though very short the world knew you once lived here.
Thank you for your advice's and admonitions thank you for your support during my wedding, when your mum passed you tried your best to be there for us in the little ways you could it means so much to me and I'm forever grateful
What can I say,as a family we are blessed to have had a brother who carried greatness with simplicity and imparted those he came in contact with, always smiling with positive energy. Am happy you lived well,you enjoyed it while it lasted you gave back to society and left a legacy for us all and your very dear Jewel Leyla.
Your day was well spent,you had a beautiful life its time to rest. Good night my beloved Cousin and like you always say ""Hang in there"
Your Cousin

Kayode came to me for Skype guitar lessons a few years ago but I always finished our hour feeling like I was the one who had benefited most from the encounter. I don't know how he did it, or if he was even aware of it, but Kayode just had this way of making you feel like a better human being; no doubt down to his unending warmth, enthusiasm, encouragement, and humour, not to mention that infectious smile that you couldn't not reciprocate. I feel blessed to have gotten to spend what little time I did with Kayode, and the impact he had on me and everyone else lucky enough to have known him will certainly live on.
I will miss Kayode deeply and I feel at a loss to think humanity won't get to enjoy a chance encounter again with such a one-of-a-kind gem of a human.
Rest in Peace my friend.

What can I say?
Just a few days before your demise, Hakeem and I were at dinner with Fauzi and Auntie Sade Thomas Fahm, and of course your name came up. We were all hoping to get together with you in the not too distant future. But that was not the wish of Allah.
Your life was short, but it was no doubt a very eventful one. You made a difference in people's lives if these tributes are anything to go by; and your life epitomizes what being a "Fahm" is all about - individual accomplishment, commitment to the community, and of course service to God.
I pray to Allah to grant Nana, Tolu, Daddy Fahm, your siblings, and all extended family members, business associates and mentees the courage to bear your loss.
May Allah grant your soul Aljanah-Firdaus and forgive your sin. I very much wish you a happy reunion with our patriarch, Alhaji Ali Fahm.
Best, Iyabo Fahm Masha
A man of great passion – The arts – he went to countries playing his guitar, he spoke for years about teaching others the guitar at the Muson and beyond – and he did; And did it with passion.
Passion for collecting fine art – supporting many local artists as he did so. The art in remembrance of his mother was breath taking capturing the love of a mother and child. Many pieces that you will see and be moved.
Passion for charities – Kayode supported from his heart. A few months ago, he had literally begged me to try and get the details of a charity that had been setup in memory of a friend of ours who sadly died of cancer at the tender age of 38. The person wasn’t Nigerian so there was no recognition coming his way for doing so – he just wanted to support the works that could potentially help others.
Passion for healthy living – when Kayode was weight lifting in the gym in VI – you could hear him in faraway Ejigbo. Running, swimming, judo, karate etc. It wasn’t for the cameras – no, it was consistent and done with the utmost discipline.
What Kayode accomplished in Goldman Sachs – in those days as a black man? Sheer commitment and discipline.
And one of his greatest passions, was motivating others. Always encouraging, advising, lifting others up. I am sure many would have heard him say ‘well done, I am so proud of you’.
Passion for his loved ones – There were so many people he loved spread across the world. People in Africa, the Americas, Europe – all over. And Tolu, you meant the world to him.
Kayode did not entertain slacking, excuses or giving up – he made you feel you could move mountains. Our very last chat left me thinking I could conquer the world.
I am one of many that can attest to Kayode’s kindness – always creating time for others. You are assured a warm welcome. Always laughing and loved a good story adapting the rhyme of his voice when emphasising a point; as he pronounced ‘pele’ exactly as it is written.
You always ended our chats by saying ‘we’ll catch up soon’…
Ore, now I bid you good night.
Unquestionable God, to you be all the glory, praises and adoration.
I also met your late mum who was such an influence on you. We spent many nights @ your family home when we tried to birth the Nigerian Youth Association recreating networks for 'British Nigerians'
.You were a proud Nigerian.
I temember your party @ your flat in Chalk Hill where you had sorted food wine etc but inexplicably had just two records to play. "Summertime by Will Smith and Tempted to touch by Beres Hammond "....i know all the words due to the incessant replays.that day...Those who came to dance left disappointed. When i teased you about it.. you reminded me that you wanted people to talk...at a party?? But that was you Kai, doing your own thing. Not conforming to what you did not believe in ..you focussed on being you...
When i came to Nigeria you were excited for me and you followed shortly after. You were clear about what you wanted to do and equally clear about what you did not want. You loved to teach, so training was natural to you and you did it excellently.
Last time i saw you was at the airport, you were keen to understand the challenges of government. That was typical of you, always interested in .others, always positive always an encourager.
I know you will be missed, you impacted many. You pursued your dream of music and it gave you joy.
I know from our discussions that Tolu was the love of your life. You once accosted me for over an hour for details of Grange School, which my children were attending, as you were considering it for Tolu. I found it hard to discuss a school for an hour but you were so detailed in your questions that i had no choice. I know how proud you were of her and i am sure you will live on through her.
God bless you Kai..good night.
We shared so many intimate moments, including the way you spoke with such love and respect about your family, especially your late mom, daughter and father. Everything you did was with great precision and purpose, you never left anything to chance. I hope your family especially your daughter Tolu, find the peace of God that passes all human understanding In Knowing that you were, and are still loved by many that you crossed paths with.
May the Grace and Peace of God that passes all human understanding be with your family, especially your beloved daughter at this time of mourning. My condolences to the Fahm family. You will be greatly missed Kayode Fahm. As you used to say, ‘ the body must obey the will’, and you obeyed the will of God to take you to be with the almighty, may your perfect Soul rest in Peace.
Still in shock as we only heard of your passing this morning...still trying to get my head around the fact that I won't ever see you again. At least not on this side of the pond. I'll miss running into you at Muson concerts(where we normally met) and at random places like doculand. No matter where we ran into each other it was always a joy to catch up and you always had a splendid smile for me...and mum, who was so fond of you.
I can't forget the first time we met at your guitar concert at Lifehouse! You were so gifted! And I later found out you excelled at so many other things as well. How humble you were. Last time we met we spoke about seeing you perform again soon!...but it wasn't meant to be. Thank you for the memories... and for the genuine love and sincerity you shared with us and many others. Proud to have known you.
Writing this feels so final but I know you are in a better place. Sleep well.
Sir, I will never forget the day when I had finally had the privilege to meet you and I remember how unnerved I was by how tall you were and your strong sense of presence. All of Nanz descriptions of you were true and an understatement! Straight away I saw how Ley was a carbon copy of you!
I will also never forget the great (although few) conversations we had about music and my educational background/career goals and especially regarding Ley's education and how you thanked me for giving her extra tuition during her GCSE exams. They were profoundly memorable moments that I now cherish as I saw how proud you were of Ley's achievements and boy do we know how much you loved and protected your family!
Therefore, at this time I want to say thank you so much for being a shining example of a father and head to both Nanz and Ley. You served as a huge inspiration to me and though it was a long time since we last spoke or saw you, you always remained present and I was incredibly touched by that.
We were so looking forward to your return but unfortunately we missed you. My family and I salute you for all you did do for Ley and Nanz and restoring our hope in good men. And though we are desperately heartbroken, we will look after Nanz and Ley.
Till we meet again, remain shining as a star resting in the heart of the almighty God. Sleep well.
Kuria xx
I am writing this tribute (more an open letter to you) reluctantly because it means that I must accept this nightmare from which I will not be waking up from as I hoped...but write it I will.
You made me happy.
You made so many happy!
You were my hero.
You were hero to so many!
You were my first friend when I moved to start life in Lagos as a “woman” in 2006 and you have always been in my life and corner as I was in yours.
I was honoured to know you. And to be close to you and to have learnt from you and to have had special access to you.
I owe you a great deal of thanks because my transition from finance to the arts was easier with friends like you. I was delighted and honoured that a few short years after we met, I (with my husband and the entire family at The Life House) was able to host your magnificent debut guitar concert in Lagos - you were resplendent, surrounded by paintings, serenading an enthralled audience - it was a glorious communion....I will never forget that moment. You shared it all with us.
And that was you Kayode, always sharing, always giving, always refreshing!
With you there were so many special moments, so many special words, smiles, looks, thumbs up, fist bumps, calming tones, warmth, compassion, encouragement, vulnerability AND strength, character, balance, consistency....Kayode, you were special. I often thought of you as some sort of super-human - part man, part angel of sorts!
I want to tell you all these things over a latte.
I want you to see my new studio and to share my new projects with you and hear your thoughts.
I want to hear about your busy schedule.
I want to help.
I want to show you my growing art collection.
I want to organise another guitar concert starring YOU....heck I just bought a piano Kayode and just started a residency for musicians....You have to be a part of this. I didn't get round to telling you. Sigh!
I want to bump into you at the gym and show you my muscles which are coming back slowly.
I want to tell you that you mattered.
I want to tell you that you were greatly loved by me.
I want to tell you that the world was a great place because you existed.
I need you to tell me if I will ever stop crying when I think of a life in which I will never see you again.
I want to see you again Kayode...at the gym, at The Wheatbaker, at Constant Capital, at the MUSON, at your house, at my house, at my film festival, at the arty events of Lagos and beyond.....wherever, whenever....I want to see you again.
I will see you again.
I will see you Kayode Fahm.
And until that day comes, I will sing, and dance, and live in music, art and creative passion AND through these channels praise the Almighty God for your life! I will continue to offer thanksgiving for your life! I will be ever grateful for your life!
I will never stop saying thank you Kayode - for your life and for life!
Rest in Peace, Power and Purpose my dearest friend!
Namaste!
Ugoma Ebilah - Adegoke

There has never been a moment with you that wasn't positive, or filled with your kind words of wisdom and support.
The shock of your passing is been felt across our city, and my condolence goes to your daughter and family. Will miss you so much, and pray that you are resting in eternal peace.
I am in such shock that he is no longer here as he respected the greatest gift of all - good health - and did his best to preserve this. I take consolation in the fact that he lived life to the fullest and touched so many people's lives and no doubt his legacy will live on.
I am thankful to his daughter, Tolu for creating the forum for those he touched to share any tributes that they might have. I pray that those special memories you all shared as a family remain a source of comfort to you at all times. He certainly lived a life that outlived him. May his soul rest in peace.
Words fail me...my heart aches unbearably...my tears won't stop flowing
You were my good dear friend and greatest cheerleader!
On Saturday the 16th of June, you sent me a WhatsApp message asking us to meet up for drinks. I hadn't seen you in quite a while....we were scheduled to meet for 4pm...so unlike me...i couldn't make it till 7pm....you WAITED.
Over Tea at the MoreHouse Hotel, Ikoyi we spent 4 unforgettable hours talking about anything and everything! As usual, you were intense, warm, laughed a lot and Kind. You wanted to talk and you did...you bore your heart out to me and you wanted to know all about me since our last meeting. I learnt SO much from you.
You showed me WhatsApp videos of Tolu performing in several live gigs in London(certainly a chip of the old block!)
I am soooo glad I showed up for you...and for Me that evening. Little did I know you were saying GOOD BYE.
You were a Pure, Kind, Loving,Unconventional,Loyal, Dependable Soul...Very Arty...Very Deep.. Very Cerebral yet extremely Humble. You gave unconditionally, unrelentlessly, you gave to ALL especially the Poor. You were the world's greatest Counsellor and Coach. You were a Gift to Mankind.
Subconsciously you must have known you were not here for very long because you lived a life of Extreme PURPOSE. There was an Urgency to Give back!
I cannot question God. I am just so Thankful to God He brought such a special and Amazing Soul my way.
Thank you Kayode for your unconditional Love and Friendship. Thank you for taking time out on Saturday the 16th of June 2018 to say Good Bye.
I pray God Comforts your Amazingly talented Tolu and your entire family.
Rest in Peace my Coach....Rest in Peace my Dear Friend.
Oyinkansola F
To write R.I.P next to your name, at your age of 53 seemed most unlikely , but like the ironies of life , that’s what it’s come to.
Who are we to ask questions , especially as the Almighty Supreme being has called you back home, to rest in his bosom.
I know you’ll keep shining like the star
This makes it easier for me to comfort myself that while I’m going to miss you and our little chats that we’ve had over the years, it was time for you to go. It is His will! He says “Be” and it is!
I have vivid images of you in my minds eye that makes me smile. I still remember the very first time I met you after work in Fleet Street back when you worked for Goldman in London. You stuck out like a beacon. Young, Assured, Confident, Sartorial (especially in that fedora you had on), Successful, Big & Black! These were the adjectives and more I could have ascribed to you as you glided (seemingly) down the escalator to meet me that evening in 1994. A firm friendship and bond was formed. You were already a trailblazer at Goldman Sachs then and already planning new moves. I remember your lovely wedding to Nana and then you were off to the Middle East and created another successful career for yourself. I remember you doing these things and leaving an indelible mark doing them. Integrity and credibility were the foundation of your platform.Then in 1999 you moved to Nigeria when (seemingly to me) it wasn’t fashionable to do so. You did things your way. A couple of years later, I came back home too and that’s when we became closer. We talked about everything. Through those chats, I learnt more about your family especially your daughter Tolu. Your smile lit up the room when I asked about her and it’s such a pleasure to hear she’s got your artistic flair. She was your life but you gave even more to everyone else. Your name became a brand personified. You were the proverbial renaissance man - Financial expert, banker, motivational speaker, martial arts expert, yoga, exceptional trainer, artist (oooh that Spanish guitar - I used to tease you that I thought she came alive at night as you played her for many hours on end till you perfected your craft). I watched you perform at the Muson and Lighthouse. I swear even the way you breathed was different as you came “alive” as you played this instrument. I define “passion” as the look on your face as you played it. Thank God for technology as we can still watch your many performances. Bravo!
You worked out like a champion athlete! It’s like you were telling us something bro. You treated your body as you treated people - with respect. You were a private person right down to your Islam and you practised it in the way that I loved. You visibly embodied the Deen. Honest,respectful, family oriented, kind, selfless and you gave a bit of yourself to everyone. We eventually got to work together at Afrinvest too. I understood you perfectly. Maybe a few didn’t but there is no doubt you were a professional and one to respect. After that gig, you told me you were semi retiring. Why? You wanted to be more spiritual and focus more on your art. You (in my view) are a near perfect example to humanity. I was distraught when Ayotola gave me the sad news. It was already Sunday evening and your WhatsApp said “last seen at 20:00” on Saturday and I knew deep down it was true despite me frantically calling and texting you. It’s been a haze since then but guess what - I’m already forming new bonds on account of you. You crossed over the noble way - in your sleep. Ky, needless to say, we shall miss you but we continue to pray for you as you make your journey to Aljannah Firdaos - the everlasting paradise. May Almighty Allah forgive your sins and bless your family Ameen.
As I try to chase away the sorrow I feel, I remember your ever ready smile and your journey to a better place. Be rest assured that Tolu and Nana are not alone.
your legacy will forever be a testament to the numerous people you've touched.
Lola (my twin) and I met you back in the early 90's, always a pleasure to be around you, very kind, polite and humble to the core.
I'm happy I was able to meet up with you in Lagos and re live the memories.
Rest in peace dear Kayode, you are missed.
May the good Lord comfort your loved ones and friends
. May your gentle and kind soul Rest in Perfect Peace. Till we meet again. Words fail me. My friend and brother of almost 30 years l thank God for the times we had together. The projects we worked on, always wanting to give back and make a difference. God bless you. May God give Tolu and Nana the fortitude to bear this loss.
Kayode Thank U for being U!! An extraordinary human being! I can't believe you're gone. I really wish you’d had more time, but I am so very grateful to have known you. My dear friend - until we meet again - Rest In Peace.
You left your mark and you will never be forgotten. Rest in perfect peace Kayode.
God’s comfort and strength for your daughter and family, and all who mourn you, Amen.
Leave a Tribute
You were such an inspiration to many people.
They say no one truly dies until their name is spoken for the last time
This is not the last time Mr Kayode Fahm
Please be patient.
Kayode Fahm was one inspirational personality I longed to meet since the first time I read an article he wrote on career development in the now rested magazine " BOTTOM LINE" . I am very shocked to have discovered today he passed on last year while I was researching on internet and came across someone else bearing his surname ( Abdulraheem Fahm of Visionscape). I suddenly remembered him and just typed Kayode Fahm into the browser search to check on what he is up to now and the first link that came up was this memorial site. I can't just explain the motions now but rather than being demoralised I found greater motivation from the opening quote .You were a gift to this generation , to Nigeria, Africa and the world. You life is an inspiration in being deliberate.,focused and passionate about the things we care and love. It is painful I never had the opportunity to meet you but I will always find consolation in the legacy you have left behind for the world. May you worthy deeds keep resonating to inspire all your admirers to leave the world a better place.RIP Mr Kayode FAHM.
Remembering Ky by Jack Kontou
I still can’t believe the news I received from my friend Paul (ky’s training partner).
Total shock, so, so sad.
I met ky back in the early 90’s in the gym training and we became friends from sharing the passion and love for the martial arts. We had many great conversations about martial arts and combat when he came to visit me at my Kung fu school. We also shared and exchanged many Kung fu films which we both loved. He had such a passion for life.
I will always remember he was a giant of a man with a smile to match.
Rest in peace my friend, you will always be remembered,my condolences to the family. Jack Kontou.
Tolulope may Almighty God comfort you and your Mum. May his gentle soul rest in peace
