Beloved brother Simon,
I cannot believe that you have departed from us so quickly. It seems like just yesterday when we discussed your symptoms and doctor’s visits. What happened next was a rapid progression to the unthinkable! It all seemed like just a bad dream from which I awakened, hoping that it was only that, a dream.
Oh how I miss you my brother!
You meant so much to us… Your sudden departure has left a permanent void that cannot be filled.
Your faithfulness, unrelenting commitment and dedication to the philanthropic innovative building projects with which you were tasked for the educational and health improvement of your community, is stunningly impressive. You demonstrated that one doesn’t have to possess the accolades of fine education and impressive titles to be positively impactful. As a result of your astute wisdom, competent managerial skills and ingenious abilities, in combination with your unsurpassed trustworthiness; integrity; and unrelenting diligence; you fulfilled the role that none could! You single handedly executed your brother’s philanthropic plans for building a school for educating and training the underprivileged! You also successfully executed the building of the Bishop Peter Adoboh’s Pharmacy Initiative, a tremendous blessing to the community.
Brother Simon, you had a uniquely
close-knit relationship with your brother Amos that demonstrated mutual trust, mutual respect, and admirable benevolence. You were his rock in whom he could safely trust. You were his best friend, his senior brother, and one for whom you only wished the best.
You can imagine then how excited I was to have finally met this amazing brother when I visited Nigeria in January 2018 for the very first time. You not only confirmed all that I had heard about you, brother Simon, but you made my visit to Nigeria very memorable.
Bother Simon your voice was always so pleasant and so kind, it was a true reflection of your generous soul and godly character.
It was always a joy to speak with you my brother. In particular was that profoundly unforgettable last communication we had. I recall that you had just undergone surgery yet you greeted me with such incredible excitement and infectious joy, that my worry for your health instantly disappeared. I knew then that a supernatural healing had occurred! Little did I know that your healing meant transition to heaven.
Beloved brother, your absence in the physical does not mean forgotten. The tremendous impact of your life will be remembered for generations to come.
For us, those precious memories of your well lived life and love will forever be cherished in our hearts.
Well done faithful, beloved brother!
Rest In Peace!
