You left us too soon. Today is your birthday and you departed this sinful world three years and eight months ago but it still felt like it was yesterday. Through you my attention was drawn to Isaiah 40:31 which used to be your favorite scripture and I am holding onto that scripture up till today. Each time that I read that scripture, I always remember you. You will be missed for ever.
June 5, 2015
Happy birthday bros B, we all do miss you each and everyday. We take comfort from the fact that only God knows best. Sleep well my brother

Bros B, yesterday was the 42nd anniversary of your birthday and it was another opportunity for fond memories of you: your laughter, your jokes and more importantly your positive spirit. Since you left us, I have come to realize that life is not a buffet; we just can't dish what we want, but can only hope for the best. We miss you now and always. Continue to rest peacefully my dear brother

So so sad, i knew Bayo and his little brother briefly when we were all students in Ife, we also shared same home town, Ilesa. i saw him last in my graduation year (1990), such a great guy, never a dull moment around him then. Good to read from here that he went on to do real well. God will be with the family he left behind. Adieu, little bro.

I heard a voice out of Heaven, "Write this: Blessed are those who die in the Master from now on; how blessed to die that way!"
"Yes," says the Spirit, "and blessed rest from their hard, hard work. None of what they've done is wasted; God blesses them for it all in the end." (Revelation 14:13 MSG)

Bayo, knew you from afar through a common friend at OAU. It is indeed shocking but very comforting to know that, you died knowing Christ. Death has no power over you anymore. Dance on with the angels. Good night!

What can I say! Bayo may ur soul rest in perfect peace. This is still a shock to me but one thing is this, I have a lovely memory of those days, when you will keep my shoe in the freezer. All i see is a smilling face make me wonder does this guy ever get angry? Looking back at that, that was one good lesson to learn. You will forever be missed. I bid you adieu <3

Cousin me, the day to say our goodbyes (for now) is upon us and I pray for you to continuing resting in the lord. Listening to all the non family related tributes at your wake keeping has changed my perspective on your passing. You did not die young Bayo, you bowed out when the ovation was loudest. Loved & missed now, always and forever

My brother Olubayo, I never thot I'd write your tribute..here I am writing it under a very heavy heart, we shared life together which am grateful to God for..but your loss created a hole in my heart that could never heal..we laughed together, cried together, prayed together, trusted God together. In another life, you'll be my brother again. I love you always. Good night my dearest.

My dear Bayo: I will truly miss you. I was honored to be asked by you and Ono to sing at your wedding and to help with the reception. I will never forget those times nor all of the laughter we had when we were neighbors in Breckenridge. May God hold you in the palm of His hands.
