Uncle Vic,as the days roll by,the reality begins to dawn on us that you are no longer here with us. We will miss the usual fun filled family gathering at our place. It's never going to be the same again without you. I know you will continue to watch us from there,especially Uzii nwam, Ada, Naana and Goo boy.
Till we meet to part no more.
Jee nke oma!

January 6, 2014

Uncle Vic, rest in peace! You were a good uncle, with a very kind heart! You always took out time to see me and find out how I was doing anytime you came to Nigeria. I'll miss you greatly.

Uncle Vic,
Tears are sometimes an inapprioprate response to death when life has been lived completely honestly, the correct response to deaths perfect punctuation mark should be a smile----------Julie Burchill.
Uncle Vic, i met you in College of tech, Nekede, while i was in my first year and you in your final year, i still remember how you received and encouraged me. It's a big shock to learn of your passing. I pray God to grant you eternal peace and your family the courage and fortitude to bear this huge loss.

Uncle Victor, Personally, I have never met you but from all I have heard about you in your life time, you are a genius. I also heard you were a good christian, a good man and a reliable friend. May your gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord.

January 5, 2014

Sir Vic, I still cannot believe it that you are no longer here with us, for I was still believing God for a miracle, but He knows the best. We will continue to pray for Uzo, the kids, your siblings and your parents for the good Lord to give them the fortitude to bear this loss. May your gentle soul continue to rest in Abraham's bosom till we meet to part no more. Adieu! Benjamin Mozie and family.

'The sunlight is dimmer now'
Sir Vic as I fondly called you, you always brought happiness to those around you with your humor and infectious laughter.You are now regaling the angels with your apt humor.Rest in peace, may your family find solace and comfort in God.

"Every man's life ends about the same way; how a man lived is only what distinguished one man from another" Victor lived a wonderful life from what I know, always eager to help where necessary. intriguingly your faith in God we know guided you. You ran the raise so be rested with Jesus.

It was difficult to believe you left us so soon to be with the lord. it may seem unbearable and very hard to deal with at this time. To those who encountered Victor will attest to the fact that victor was a jolly ride fellow and helpful to whoever met him. His smiles and jokes was just unending.

To those who are closely related to Victor, certainly you must share the pains, however, God has already said to us not cry as those who do not have hope, because we have hope in our Lord Jesus Christ whom we know Victor is resting with now we can wipe our tears and glorify God for he brings and taketh.

victor you fought to be with us for much longer, but God wants you more.
Rest in peace with the Lord our dear friend!
-comrade Emma Idima & Family.

Uncle Vic, you were a friend and a brother. You came, you saw and you did your best. May your gentle soul Rest in Peace. The wings of The Almighty God will shield and protect your family. Uzi The Lord is your strength.

January 4, 2014

Uncle Vic, my family and I sincerely thank God for your life on earth. No number of years can be said to be enough. But we can testify that you lived a good life. It is not how long but how well you lived. Our prayer is that the good Lord you served while on earth will receive you in his kingdom. Uzo, The Lord will see you and victors parents through this loss. To us, it may seem a loss, but for you and your kids, God Has His plans. May victors soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen

Rest in peace Uncle Vic. Love U forever.

I have so many memories over the years of knowing you and your beautiful family. One thing that stands out about you is your commitment to your children. You were always a great father to them and very involved in their lives. I remember when I used to babysit and you would be home early to make sure they were taken care of. Death is a terrible thing and I never imagined that seeing you at my wedding would be the finality of it all. But I thank God for your life and your legacy because we know you are no longer in pain. My prayer is for your family; I pray that God will always be their everything and help them fill this void you have left. We love you but God loves you more

Bro Victor, I prayed like never before that this cup will pass you by. You even reassured me that it will come to pass.This was not to be, because obviously GOD loves you more.
Words cannot express who and what you are to me. Iam dumbfounded. Where do I begin, is it the helplessness i feel inside or the emptiness thereof without you? Yet, I must submit to the will of the ALMIGHTY.
I have accepted that you have transited to eternal bliss and I thank GOD for the wonderful life you lived - exemplary and inspirational.
I thank GOD also for the lovely family you left behind - who are an enduring testament of your legacy.
I trust that one day we will meet again. Rest in the bossom of the LORD, Nwannem.

AN EAGLE HAS LANDED.
As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up , carrying them on its wings.
So Lord you stirred my nest.
I flew.and became an eagle.
Yes Lord, i became an eagle.
The sky not the grave is my goal.
Lord you trained me and built an Altar of prayer in my estate.
Now i rest in your Bosom.
Adieu Victor.Rest in the Lord.

How do you pay a tribute to a dear uncle, friend, brother, father and the best attorney to many of us, time and space would not permit me. I thank God for the privilege and opportunity of knowing. You were a compassionate, wonderful, an amazing person. The best lawyer anyone can ever ask for. It's really hard to believe that you are no longer with us. Continue to rest in the blossom of the Almighty God. I pray that God will continue to keep and be with the family that you left behind. We love you but God love you the most, till we meet again. Rest in peace Uncle Victor. Love Biyi and Tolu.

January 2, 2014

Victor, my good friend and brother in Christ. Your smile would light up a room and you had a twinkle in your eye (like you had a secret). You always had the joy of God on your face, and you carried that with you right until the moment you left us to be with your Heavenly Father. You will be missed.

January 2, 2014

My dear Victor, I remember meeting you for the first time, and the warm feeling that I got from your smile. The last time I saw you I took in the words of encouragement that you gave me, and those words allowed me to move forward. You will be greatly missed, but you are now where I will continue to move towards arriving. Ochi and I will forever be grateful for all the good memories that you left behind. We will miss you! Love you much Kuti !!... Love Ochi and Jerri.

Uncle Vic, as we break the news of your passing on to glory to Adanna and Obi, the sobbing was more than Ezioma and I could bear. Adanna's why questions got me and her mom speechless. She asked does it mean our Almighty God did not hear her prayers, the prayers of Uncle Cyril and aunty Ebere, and prayers of your collective friends and families. Her consolation was affirmed when Ezy told her that God wanted you at this moment in time. My dear friend, I remember the plans we had for the kids, especially Adanna and Chetanna; our dream for them to be friends for ever. I remember when we visited during summer, how Adanna and Chetanna have grown apart, and how we consoled ourselves that they will eventually get along as time goes by. Ezi and I thought you would have been there as we watch them. Uncle Vic, there's no word out there suitable enough to express our feelings; feeling of loss and helplessness. our solace and comfort of heart rest on the fact that you lived a good and God fearing life.
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. The Onwukanjo Family.

December 30, 2013

I remember the last time I saw you and your wife at a party I compered. I will never forget the compliments and those motivating words you gave me at the event with a pleasant smile on your face. You will definitely be missed by all. We love you but God loves you more. I pray that the most high God will keep your wife, children and the entire family.

December 29, 2013

Uncle Vic, we're told that in the end, it's not the years in life that count, rather the life in those years, the lives touched and the good-will established. Any body who had encounter with you will attest to the fact that you were a force for good in this world. Your uncontentious character surpassed normal understanding. Your broad smile, beam kindness, and communal spirit will be missed by your family, friends and community. You were my hero in many respect, and I cherished your friendship more than I could explain. My good and bosom friend, you lived a good life worthy to be emulated, and we thank God for that. We surely miss you and will continue to. Rest in peace.

December 29, 2013

I lost a good friend... You always saw the good and funny side of every situation. Your ever present smile and witty jokes bring fun to every gathering you are in. I believe you are in a better place now, and I pray God to give your lovely wife and kids the strehgth to bear the deep pain your passing has brought them. Goodnight "Uncle" Vic.

December 29, 2013

I remembered when I came to you for legal advice for the filing of my wife to join me over here in the US....you received me like a son, told me what i needed to submit and what I needed to do to ensure she wins the visa....My wife is here with me now and I thank God you met her before you passed.I can not tell the good news of our reunion without mentioning your efforts too...This is a question that no one can ever know the answer until we leave this earth too someday..May your soul rest in perfect peace...Bro. Awe.

December 28, 2013

Nnam, Nwannem, onye nkem, my brother who cares for me so much.The one and only Bro Victor, what more can I say, I thought you would have waited for me to come and give you the Spanish exam gist like I told you after the exams.

December 26, 2013

I the beginning, you were named Victor and at the close of this chapter you were Victorious!! At Vaasar Brothers Hospital,18 hours before you passed on, you still shared our traditional jokes and you left no indication that death had power over you therefore, we are confident that we have not totally missed YOU.
SIR VIC, NWOKE OMA ;JE NKE OMA.

I thank God for Victor Okeke. Many people can be salt and light in times of refreshing and great joy, but not many can reflect the light and love of Christ in times of suffering and pain like Victor has done this last season of his life. Even in pain, Victor proved that Christ is our refreshing joy. Victor has given me hope that even when I walk through the Valley of the SHADOW of death, our God is with us. Thank you Jesus that death is now only a shadow. Have a good rest Victor, we will be together soon.

The lord is my shepard, I shall not want. Victor, You were a living miracle. Thank you so much for the grace in which you handled the most difficult time of your life and through it all, inspired a lot of us that were watching. You were always there for your friends and your community and for that we thank you. There are many things that we will never understand but we know that God is in complete control. You will be terribly missed but we also know that you are now in a place where there is no more pain. Farewell until we meet again in glory. May the ultimate comforter our lord and savior wrap his arms around those that are left behind. Help us to feel your presence in the most critical moments. May God continue to bless you and your family. Rest in perfect peace. Ifeoma.

December 25, 2013

I knew you for just a short while but one thing u will always be remembered for, your warm smile that lightens up everyones heart ,your devotion to your family,to the things of God is indeed true.Sleep on in tbe bossom of the Lord where there is no sad parting.We will surely see someday......

December 25, 2013

Sir Vic, I still have not gotten over your departure as it seems like a big dream. Just 8 days ago we were together cracking jokes and enjoying each other's presence only to loose you two days later. Words cannot express the void you left in our midst, particularly for Uzo and the children. Wow life is really whatever it is called, but you will never be forgotten as you continue to live in our hearts through your wife & children. There are much to be said about the gentle soul that you are, but for now Rest In the Bosom of our Lord and Savior. Amen.....Till we meet again.
Larry & Floxy

December 25, 2013

Uncle Vic, I know that U can hear us sing this song for U.........................

"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep
From which none ever wake to weep
A calm and undisturbed repose
Unbroken by the last of foes"

Sleep on in HIS bossom,dear brother!

Nonye & Oscar.

December 25, 2013

Victor, you were a brother and confidant. Our time together at RCCG with your family and mine would be cherished forever. I commit Vic and your children to the hand of the Almighty God. Because Jesus lives, they can face tomorrow. Continue to rest in the bosom of your Lord. I remember you telling me you should be buried in NY if you die, I never knew it would be so soon. We love you but God loves you most.

December 25, 2013

Wow, it is hard to believe,because as I sit here i picture ur bright smile sir. As a young man when i came to this country you were among those that encouraged me, and a source were i found my strength to serve God even when i had to go through rejection because I refused to be like other young men. Sir I wish I had the chance to tell you this in person, but thanks for all you did for me. RIP sir and may God give your family the fortitude to bear the loss.

December 24, 2013

You might be gone away from us and this sinful world,but you are in the best place resting the hands of the Lord. May your gentle soul rest in peace in Jesus Name. Amen...

December 24, 2013

Victor will be missed by all of who knew him. He was a good friend, a loyal usher on the Salem Tabernacle Usher team, and a wonderful lawyer, His warm smile, our conversations, and times of prayer together will always be a lasting memory for me.

December 24, 2013

Nkem, there are no words to describe how much I love you. "I miss you like crazy". You are the best and will always be. I bless the good Lord that He gave us these last months to find Him and us. You made peace with God, yourself and with man. Lover of peace, you are finally resting in the bossom of our Lord. Till we meet to part no more. Your beloved Uzi

God has called for one if his angels! Victor was a very hardworking man, death is inevitable, it's sad part of life that no one cannot change.

My dearest brother,
Ten years ago today you transitioned to glory. The void your departure left has not gotten any smaller. I miss you every day even as your memories continue to live on in my heart. There’s so much I wish I could tell you. Decisions I need help making, I often find myself asking what would uncle Vic say or do? I can only imagine.
Papa has joined you and mom in heaven. May you continue to rest in eternal glory.

My Daddy, My Hero

January 3, 2014

I have been a daddy's girl for as long as I can remember. My dad has always made sure that I got anything that I wanted and needed and always made sure I was happy.

Even when he had to correct me, he always came by my room at night to hug me and let me know that he loved me. If I ever had any doubts about my daddy, I never doubted the amount of love he had for me, my mom and my brothers.

Daddy was the first person to know about how badly I wanted to go to GW for college. I remember the day I found out that I got into GW. Daddy and I had made a secret agreement that if I didn't get in, we wouldn't tell anyone about it so I wouldn't feel embarrassed. Daddy was the first person I called when I found out and even though he was in the hospital at the time, he gathered up the strength to sound excited so I would enjoy my moment.

Two weeks before he passed, when his condition was worse, he looked me in my eyes, cleared voice and said "I love you, baby". I will never forget how strong he sounded even though his body was in so much pain. I am so happy I got the chance to be with Daddy during break. I know he is so much happier and painfree in Heaven.

Daddy was my biggest supporter, my best friend, my shoulder to cry on. I knew I could come to him about any and everything that was going on in my life. He will always be my hero and my King, and I know I'm still his One and Only Princess. He will always be my Papa Bear, and I will always be his Adababy. My love for him will never change. Even though I lost my earthly father, I now have two Heavenly Fathers and a Guardian Angel to protect me.

Love you Daddy. Always and Forever. I'll keep making you proud.

December 27, 2013

Times we shared together, I really miss you
