I remember when I was in fifth grade and I was playing soccer with the Worthington Youth Boosters. And on the first day of practice, I remember walking up and seeing this father and daughter waiting for the rest of our new team to show up. It was Mr. Tolu and his daughter, Faith.

My dad and I started talking with them, as we had never met before. Immediately, both of them struck me as extremely nice people who were very caring and ready to have some fun with the rest of our team! 

I was a very cautious athlete, meaning I was scared of getting hurt. I was put in the goalie position, and it was something that was very scary for me at first. That never stopped Mr. Tolu from pushing me further and making sure that I knew that I had what it took to be a great goalie.

My favorite memory of that entire season was when me and the other goalie on our team were told that if we could headbutt the ball to get it away from the goal, then Mr. Tolu would buy us ice cream from Dairy Queen and bring it for us during next practice.

Now unfortunately I don’t remember if I ever got any ice cream or not, but remembering little things like that remind me how kind and caring he really was and how inspiring he wanted to be for the young girls he was coaching, especially for Faith. He was always so compassionate and forgiving, and I’m thankful that I not only made a friend in his daughter, but a friend in him too.

Thank you for everything Mr. Tolu, you will always be remembered as the amazing person you were to everyone. Rest In Peace.

As I searched for a better brother from another mother, so I met Tolu, who shall remain in my heart till we meet again. His love for family values was glaringly endearing,  his love for his country- Nigeria is unequivocally resounding. Till he died, Tolu will not spare me a breather in his search for a solution to Nigeria health care system. Tolu's love for his community is not doubtful,  as did his love for God.  It's his love for God that epitomized in his relationship with me and others around him.  Love of God and fear of God are one of the same,  and that is what he shared heartily with me after the demise of his brothers.  " Alhaji, e ma ba mi gbadura o, I  don't know the meaning of these deaths o", that was Tolu request from me. And I told him to simply know that God is enough for us all,  so, I urged him to be strong in the grace of God, because God does things as He pleases,  so for my Tolu to leave us at this time lend credence to the fact that God is God.  Dying in the month of Ramadan is quite pleasing to me, because of the importance of the month to me.
