This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Oluwole Ojo 49 years old , born on April 10, 1970 and passed away on January 10, 2020.

Wole aka Wayne was loved by all he came in contact with. Though he had his flaws like everyone else, he loved people, was sacrificially generous, was kind, a hard worker, great son, brother, friend, colleague. He managed to make most of the people he came in contact with in the various spheres of his life part of his extended family.

Wole was unconventional - His music collection was as eclectic as was his love for God and apologetics. It was almost impossible to tear him away from his servers, however, he always showed up for important events - though almost always late and at the last minute. He was a gym rat and loved to have fun, thankfully, Gbenga managed to drag him on a few vacations.

Wole was unlike the average person in his love for God and compassion for people. He was controversial in a lot of ways but his heart was pure. For those of us who knew him personally,he loved God with a passion rarely seen and was unique in his quirk sense of humour. No matter the justification to take offense and be contrary Wole always advocated for the path of peace. "What would Jesus do" was a mantra he used often.

Wole's conversations were heaviy laced with scriptures. He referred to God as our father and he challenged that decisions be taken with eternity in mind. Walking  in love and forgiveness were his foremost sermons. Wole had no qualms about being  a fool for  God, he readily apologized and he would often take the first step in reconciliation. Wole did not see the need for ego and pride when one  could just be at peace walking in love and in honour of the father. 

Wole mentored many, family, friends and strangers. The way he connected with people was amazing. Often times I would call him up to help reach out to someone going through affliction or seasons of questioning. Wole would take time to pray, call up a total stranger and begin to minister the love of God. Before long a bond is struck and a disciple in Christ is in the making. Wole walked in the prophetic, he was also gifted with wisdom.Yet he had no airs or pompery. The air around him was the breath of Christ, he believed all his resources were from God and to be used for God.

Wole left untimely and shockingly for those of us that he walked with and left behind but his seeds are perpetual for us to reach out to others while we are still here. Wole lived a quiet life, was a simple man but his love was great and his words were  impactful. He would be greatly missed but he would want us to go out and disciple people like he did. Like his maker and Lord Jesus, Wole had few friends but the disciples he made went out and impacted the world. This is the memorial that we his friends and disciples are creating today, to impact our world.


Wole left us sooner than we would like, yet, we know he is resting in the bosom of his maker, the lover of his soul and his Lord. We loved him and we will remember him forever.

The brightest earthly smile will now be the heavens' shining star. A gem and a gentle man. So glad I got my hug in November when I last saw him. 'Til we meet again, kind sir.

Wole my dear brother , you lived an extraordinarily life ! There was something about you, so calming, endearing and reassuring. Always ready to listen and be of help. Your love for God, family and friends was obvious.
Your exit from earth into glory was a huge shock!!! We will never recover from, not because we question Gods final say but because we’re only human and may never understand why. So we’ll carry on trusting Him to strengthen and guide us. You were loved and admired by all of us, I dare speak for everyone you met.
You were more than a brother in law to me. I wish there were suitable words capture everything I feel today. 
May The Lord keep your gentle soul. Adieu Wole ❤️

I had the privilege of meeting Wayne at work; he was a great person. I actually had to laugh when I read the tribute because you described him well. Wayne was a great friend; he encouraged me when I needed it, prayed for me and with me when I needed it, sent scripture, worship music and more. Our last outing was the Montpelier Hunt Races and I didn't have the pictures of us together but we had a great time. He was late showing up at the departure spot , had to go back home for the tickets, etc. but we laughed as usual, had great food and conversation there and back. What a beautiful soul; rest well my friend .

THE GIFT

January 13, 2021

To what do I owe this gift?

Is it for the times I longed to hear your voice and you did not call?

Or for the longing of the warmth of your embrace through the cold lonely nights

Or for the conversations and laughter we shared, the secret things we said and the things left unsaid but understood nevertheless

For the gifts given-received, your person, your passion, your love, your friendship

For the walks through time together lost in our own world devoid of others

For the quiet dinners, the late night conversations as we feed on the offerings of each other’s life experiences, our hopes, our dreams, our fears and cares

For the throaty laughter resonant in your voice I hear no longer

For my lostness in the comfort of your arms when I am dissolved in tears

For your wise understanding and counsel as you calm my fears

For your presence, a reminder of God’s essence when I lose my emotional sense

No, I am not sure to what I owe your gift to,

This string of pearls

Or is it the dull ache of pain that throbs in my heart

The pain insane that takes me to task

Or is it to my thoughts gone awry, losing their sense of bearing

The tug, the gnaw, the raw, the searing

I am back in my lostness, I have lost all bearing and emotional sense

My eyes glaze despondently

Forlornly, I caress your gift of pearls

  • the tears that now adorn my heart

Laughing Out Loud

April 10, 2020
I remember when we would laugh out loud not caring about the who or where just living in the moment. Even now, I can hear you laughing out loud reminding me that I am a Christian. We will laugh out loud again!
