It was the toughest moment of my life sitting there at the hospital, watching your purse go up and down in an irregular manner, you moved slower and slower and I helplessly watched. I watched the line went flat, I watched your chest moved for the last time and stopped. Helplessly I watched!!!

Sleep peacefully dad!

You raised me to be who I am today! You raised me to be a man!

Thank you dad!

We shall meet again on the resurrection morning….

Farewell dad!!!

Baba Okon Willie's unwavering dedication to his family, community, and faith was a testament to his strong character and values. He embodied the wisdom, compassion, and generosity that defined my grandfather's spirit, Late Rev. Bassey and he carried on his legacy with grace and humility.

Rest in peace Baba, Your memory will be a blessing to our family and all those whose lives you touched. May your legacy continue to inspire us to live with love, kindness, and service to others. Asieñde!

We learnt to live and do our work in obedience and full reliance in God.May God help me to leave a testimony in all I do. Adieu great soldier of Christ.

Daddy, Ayeni, as you fondly called me, I enjoyed every moment I spent with you because of your Godly wisdom that you used to approach simple and difficult matters. You submitted your life to please others even when it would cost you inconveniences. Now that you have gone before me, tell my father's and friends that I am coming too, beyond the Jordan River, we shall meet to part no more. SLEEP ON like a gallant Soldier.

My daddy, My daddy I thank the almighty God on your behalf for a well and quality life you lived before us.

It is very had to forget those wonderful memories with you.

Goodnight my dear brother,
The news of your demise came to me by surprise moreso that I didn't learn about your illness.
Thank God for you and the efforts you put forward at the advent of the Crawford University. Arising from your strictness and discipline, it was not difficult for you to establish the security department, so formidable that you were considered as the vanguard of discipline and thoroughness. Quite a number of instances where some recalcitrant and inordinate behaviours by students that we're considered, you stood your ground not minding whose ox was gored.
We were both members of the students' disciplinary committee where your experience as a cops was brought to bear on matters that were naughty.
Countless was the number of times when meetings were held till early the next morning and I remember vividly how you applied your training and discipline to resolve naughty matters such that the committee wasted no time hearing them as they were not necessary to be heard any longer.
You will be greatly missed, particularly within the University Community.
Adieu Daddy, Adieu our beloved brother in the Lord till we meet on the resurrection morning

Great man of God has gone to meet his saviour.
First , I heard of him to be a Rev in AFM.
Later I knew him to be the CSO Crawford University. Very humble, he listened and attend to every one including little me. He doesn't discriminate. I can never remember Rev Okon walk pass me without giving me a military order to stand , later, releases me at ease.. many times , I want to pass his way so that he can give me the order.

It was a beautiful memories
Sleep on Daddy , until resurrection morning.

He was a good Christian, with great hospitality. I met him in Crawford University and was always amazed at his greetings and readiness to always offer a help. Heaven is rejoicing at the home coming of a saint. May we leave a testimony. Adieu great soldier of Christ.

Tribute to my dearest uncle
I can remember vividly my growing up with you, it's just like yesterday. So sad that we stayed so long without seeing but you were indeed like a father. You stood in gap for me when my parents moved to Eket. You were loving, caring and showed concern in all that concerns me, in my marriage and family.
I will miss you a great deal but there's hope on that resurrection day when we shall meet to part no more. Rest on dad in the bosom of the Lord.
Adieu papa !!!

Dear Daddy Willie Okon,

You have been a father, friend, uncle, and brother to me. Your open-heartedness and generosity have been a guiding light, nurturing growth and empowering those around you to become better and more productive individuals.

Your life has been a testament to God's grace, and the legacy you leave behind is a treasure beyond measure.

The void you leave behind is profound, yet we find solace in knowing that your spirit now rests in the embrace of Abraham away from troubles, toils and turmoil of this world. We thank God for the life you lived and the indelible mark you've left on our hearts. Your impact will endure, a beacon of light that time cannot dim.

Rest well, dear father, knowing that your legacy lives on in the lives you've touched. Your memory will forever be cherished, a reminder of love's enduring power."

With heartfelt gratitude,

Esther Padonu-Asuquo and Children

Sleep on till we meet again on the resurrection day. Adieu.
