Dad,

Today, you would have been 100 years old! Happy posthumous birthday to a wonderful father and friend. Continue to rest in peace. Amen

Love, Tunde

To my dad: late Omoba, George Adeyemi Adeparusi. (Geo-de-pas)

Dad, you were born exactly 100 years ago. You left too soon, 7yrs ago. I was hoping you will be 120yrs before going. We love you but God loves you more. May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace. I miss you everyday daddy. You were a great father. Happy posthumous birthday to you dad.

From: Oja Aderonke Adeparusi.

It's Father's Day! I just wanted to leave a special tribute here on the website dedicated to you, even as the whole world celebrates true fathers. Therefore, in honour of your beautiful memory, I celebrate you this day and always. I will forever be grateful to God for giving me a father like you. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord.

Daddy, looking back today, am sure there are things you would have handled differently. You trusted too much. You were too sure some people will hold the family together in your absence, but now they have disappointed you, such is life. One thing no one can take away from you is the fact that; you were the best dad in the world. I miss you a lot and you will forever live in my heart. Continue to rest in peace my dearest Daddy. I will always love you.

Continue to rest in peace sir.
K. Onabolu

Dad, I remember you again today, which marked 7 years of your departure from here. I miss you dearly each time I think of you. And my prayers to God on your behalf is for Him to continue to grant you eternal rest. Amen.

Rest in peace till we meet at God's bosom.

Tunde

Dad, continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord. On the 20th of July 2023, you would have been 99 years old. Good bye!

Yesterday was your posthumous birthday. Happy Birthday Daddy. I miss you. May your soul continue to rest in peace.

Hello Dad! Today, you would have clocked 98 years! Hence, I'm wishing you a Happy Posthumous birthday even as the angels celebrate you in heaven. You brought light to the family of Adeparusi and by your legacy the doors of Christianity and education were flung open. We will never forget you. You will continue to live in my heart as long as I'm here in this world. I could never have asked for a better father. You're simply the best ! Please continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord till we meet and part no more. Once again, congratulations .

Dad, you would have been 97 today were you still physically here with us. However, your beautiful memory keeps me going, knowing fully well that God has you in His bosom while I have you in my heart. You were a great father and I would chose you over others in another life again and again! Thank you for the beautiful and precious memorable childhood I had; this contributed in no small measure to what my life has turned out to be today. The baton of good legacy you passed to me is currently the same measure with which I deal with my own children too. And this is what makes me a good and responsible father to them! I am a proud father, just like you! And I know if I don't have it, I can't give it. Now that I am giving it to them, I have no doubt that they too shall pass the baton onto their own children too. Thank you so much dad for who I knew you to be while you were here in the flesh. I still miss you and I will forever do untill we meet to part no more. Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Today, 4 years ago you departed this world. I miss you still Dad. You were a great blessing to me. You were my best friend. I know we shall meet again at the bosom of the Lord. Sleep on dad! Amen .

May he rest in God’s peace

rest on papa in the bosom of the Lord

3 years gone....Do rest in peace, Sir!

Dad! I honestly can not believe it's already 3 years since you departed this world. Just like yesterday, i remembered the last time- the voice called my name and said to me good night, barely a week later the news got to me that you passed on. If I had prayed to God to continue to keep you, I would have been considered selfish because your body was physically tired.

So many things you're remembered for; you introduced the entire Adeparusi family to quality education having being the very first of my grand father's children to go to school. Your foresight was incredible! You eventually won a government scholarship to study in Athens, Greece. And during the time of your study you led the student delegation that received the then Premier of Western region- Sir Samuel Akintola who was on a diplomatic mission to Greece from Nigeria.

You convinced your dad (my grandfather) and introduced western education into the family as at the time when farming was the only show-off amongst families. You made sure you registered your nieces, nephews cousins etc in school and followed up with their academic progress. Even those who were not family members benefitted from your benevolence. You supported many who were underprivileged. Some of these people later became great people in the society. Some few names came to mind: Prince Adeluyi adeliyi (Julie Phamacy) who was once the minister of health of the federal Republic, Chief Dele Falegan who was the director of Research in Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr Julius Oso PhD (your nephew) who was the Director General of the defunct National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) and many others. You touched many lives and I am sure these people (those alive), when they remember you, will forever be grateful to God for sending you their way.

Your friends (all of whom are now late) benefited a lot from your wisdom. I remembered vividly, they always consulted you, even to help resolve their family issues. You were at the centre of their lives. You managed projects for them, you did a lot of transactions on their behalf; you were trusted by all and sundry.

Even the monarch of Ado Ekiti benefited in no small measure from your wealth of experience and great wisdom. As a member of the Ado Ekiti ruling house (Atewogboye Ruling House), you were revered and greatly honoured. You were considered highly intelligent, brave, clever, very brilliant and most importantly very humble. I remembered that you had to step down for late Oba George Adelabu back in 1984 when you were considered as the next in line for the throne after the demise of Oba Anirare Aladesanmi. Oba George Adelabu eventually ascended the throne but unfortunately his reign was short-lived. He was a great Oba.

One other major important milestone vis-a-vis the Adeparusi family was your religious influence; you brought Christianity into a family with a staunch Islamic background thereby influencing your brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews, nieces etc, many of whom became Catholic and Anglican members. You were a staunch catholic till the end. You will forever be remembered for these great legacies.

As children, you gave us the very best! We all went to top schools! I remembered, i was a bit weak academically but Dad, you never gave up on me. You provided me with every learning material, you even set up a personal library in order to support me and my siblings. Today, I am a PhD fellow! I owe my academic excellence and success to you, for you paved the way for me. I will forever be grateful to you dad.

Apart from being a great dad, you were a confidant and a trusted friend. And you will forever be in my heart. May your soul continue to Rest In perfect Peace. Amen

Continue to Rest in Peace......

In every tree there is always a particular special one in the forest but, the special father so special is gone and never to see a wonderful tree like you again except at the foot steps of our creator. So sleep well in at the bosom of your Maker. Goodnight Lovely father.

Sun has gone to bed, and beautiful brighter stars has taking over the sky tonight, my lovely dad, I know you are somewhere gloriously being placed by God, I know that angel in charge of Messages tonight will deliver my message to you wherever you dad, I MISS YOU DAD!!!

Daddy,
It's already 2 years you departed this world for a better place. I miss you dearly for you were the best father ever! And I loved you too Daddy
Sleep on in the bossom of the Lord till we meet again. Good night Dad!

Today, the 20th of July 2018 you would have turned 94. May you continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord. Amen.

Dad, it's a year you have gone away from this world to be with the Lord. Today is exactly one year! I must confess that I miss you. Can't believe I did not hear your voice in a whole year! I trust God to help.me through with this. May you continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord till we meet again. Amen. The good memory of you i have lingers on in my heart. You were such an awesome Dad! Again, good night beloved Dad!

Grandpa even though you are not physically present here with us again, but I know your spirit is happier in heaven and my memory of you will forever remain in my heart. Good bye Grandpa.

-Anjolaoluwa Shawn Adeparusi (Grandson)



I love you Grandpa, you must have taken good care of my dad; you surely showed him so much love. And this is what I enjoy right now. My dad shared lots and lots of wonderful childhood experiences he had growing up with you, and of course the little time I was privileged to spend with you was a good testimony to this. How I wish people don’t die; I would have loved to spend more time with you. Rest in peace my dear Grandpa

-     Oluwajomiloju Deborah Adeparusi (Granddaughter)



Grandpa you were really good and loving. Each time we paid a visit to you in Ado-Ekiti, I always enjoyed my time with you. I will miss you very much Grandpa. I’m sure you’re with God right now. Rest in peace Grandpa

By Tomisin Akintokun...He was more than just a grandpa. He was an icon everyone looked up to. D world would be a better place with more of him around. He will greatly be missed by all. Sleep well grandpa.

I never met you but I've heard so much about the unconditional love you showed your children. You were an epitome of "LOVE" and even in death, your life speaks on. The memory of the righteous is blessed! Rest in peace and in the blossom of our Lord, Pa Adeparusi!

To a man who has been a light in so many lives; who spent his 93 years in full, making positive impact, 25th day of April, 2017 is a day your loved ones and friends will always remember. It is also a day the Lord decided He needed you by His side. Papa George Adeparusi, may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace in the bosom of the Lord. Amen.

Baba Geo de pas, thank God for a life well spent. You lived a fulfilled life and the legacy you left behind will forever be cherished. We love you but God loves you more. Adieu.

Thanking God for a life well spent. You lived a good life and impacted positively into your children. Rest In Peace!

A father like no other
Like feathers that shield from evil
So you protected me, your son
Guiding me through the path of godly wisdom
And based on your vision of the future
You fortified me with quality education
Hence I could survive in a highly competitive world.
Dad! I survived!

I love you so much and surely will miss you till the end.

Leading you to Christ on your 88th birthday was my best gift to you!
And I'm happy I did because this is a guarantee that we shall see again
In the next life.

Good night Dad


Tunde Adeparusi
