I had the opportunity and rare privilege of being the wife and partner of the wonderful, loving, kind

and
God fearing man. Life could not have been better than that because I was living every woman’s dreams.
The best of everything was at my disposal whether I asked for it or not. We had our problems like every
family but making up and resolving our issues was magical. I was blessed with the best husband and
father to all my children and his name was Ezekiel Adedoyin Oluwatoyin Adeyemi. He was the love of my
life, the one who did everything humanly possible to protect me even in the face of all sorts of
misconceptions. He was the one who understood the true meaning of marriage.

His life taught me unconditional love and his death taught me kindness. I am grateful that I had the
opportunity to share his dreams, hopes, love friendship and more. He was a man of the people, a man
who stood by his family throughout. A man who was a hero to all who knew him, a man who love
unconditionally, a man who believe in sharing and caring, a man who put a smile on peoples face, a man
who was so full of life, a man who was a bigger star in his own time than most of us.

Sweetheart, losing you is my greatest life tragedy. I have lost my direction and happiness forever. I am
still in denial that you are no longer with us. Could you teach me how I would live without you?
Although, you have left, you will always be among us. It’s just the graveyard that has separated us. With
each passing day, I will see you again in heaven.

My husband slept, he did not die and I know! I am sure of this because on the resurrection day, he will
rise again and we will see him in glory. I am sure we will all see him in the glory of God and meet in
heaven because he was a saved man, he believed so much in Christ and never joke with his salvation
even with the salvation of others. His salvation was sure and certain.

He always says “if I live, I live for Christ and If I die, I die for Christ”, that no one will die and they will
because of that close the service (church) – for the confirmation of this word, he waited for them to
finish the service on that Sunday before his demise. It is not a matter of how short he lived but how well
he lived. Of what essence is it to live a long life without making a positive impact in life and not fulfilling
God’s purpose? So, for this reason he has lived a purpose fulfilled life. He lived to the glory of God, he
served God and his life was dedicated to Christ.

Pastor Ezekiel Adedoyin Oluwatoyin Adeyemi, my husband, was a wonderful person, he was amazing in
every sense of life. “I do not mourn him at all, I weep because he left me”. A man who was a bigger star
in his own time. You will always be in my heart and the love I have for you will never ever die. You were
the light of my life and your love still shines bright. The memories we shared comfort me every day.

Although, you are no longer with me in life, but I still feel your love. Our love lives on in my heart even if
you are no longer here with me. A river of tears won’t bring you back, nor will a thousand words. I lost
the most influential person in my life, I am now at standstill. I am sure it pleased God when He added
your precious soul to His team, heaven has indeed gained an Angel. It was a joy to know you, you had
become the sparkle of my eyes and the brightest of my stars. The joy of the Lord will become my
strength as I come to terms with your demise. You will always be in my heart and the love I have for you
will never ever die. Rest well with the angels, my love. You will probably become one. Your last words to
me still echoes in my ears and I will always remember them until we meet again.

The children and I will always remember and pray for you. Rest on my love!

I love you still!

Dad, we’re to remember you for exactly who you are, the life you lived and so much more and we’re
going to miss you.

Your decency, sincerity, and kind soul will stay with us forever. So, through our tears we are seeing the
blessings of knowing and loving you, a great and noble man of God, the best father a son or daughter
could have, you taught me how to play keyboard at age 10, now I am thanking you and God for the
grace bestowed on me.

Much more, you taught me how to love God with all my heart. Dad, your legacy will never be forgotten,
but, I still don’t believe that you have gone because I told my siblings that faithful day you left to
continue praising God that we are not fatherless, that you are still coming back to eat the amala
prepared for you. I believe you are now eating what is more than that in the kingdom of God our father.

Rest on dad, till we meet at the Lord’s feet!

Your son, Marvelous Adeyemi.

September 8th, 2024 at 12:40pm after I came back from Sunday service was a day I will always
remember in sadness. It’s been a few days’ dad but I don’t think I have accepted that I won’t see you
again. This is not how I imagined you leaving us at all and it pains me to realize that you won’t be there
for us your children to take care of you after struggling to bring us up, that you won’t be there to carry
your grandchildren.

Recently, I have been going down memory lane and I am proud that I was given the opportunity to call
you my father. A man who work hard to take care of his family, a man who brought us up in the way of
the Lord, a man who was always willing to lend a helping hand, a husband, a father, a friend, a man of
God to the core, my number 1 role model. I never thought there was anything you couldn’t do if you
wanted to dad, except death.

I am writing this tribute with tears filled in my eyes and a heavy heart, but the Lord comforts me daily
with the thoughts of the kind of life you have lived, a life worthy of emulation. I believe above all things
that you are in the Lord's bosom and I only ask for you to watch over your family.

I love you Dad, your son Wisdom Adeyemi.

I love you to the moon and back. How lucky am I to have had a father so special that I miss you this
much? As much as I hate not having you around, I am happy to know you are at peace.

You may not be with me any longer but my love for you will never die.

Till we meet again! Rest on father.

Your son, Divine Adeyemi.

Everything seems to be like a nightmare to me not until I come to realize that it is real. You are more
than a father to me and there is nothing to quantify your fatherly love towards me. It is true that your
departure really hit us badly but our believe is that you are having a good time with your creator, you
are having a great rest at the feet of the most high.

Dad, thank you for bringing me this far, thank you for making me who I am today, thank you for giving
me a good life. But the truth is, I will forever miss you. I will always be grateful for how you brand me in
the aspect of music, all you’ve taught me can never be forgotten.

Thank you sir!

Your daughter, Hannah Oluwatoba.

You have laid a foundation that cannot be destroyed. The life you lived, the wife you married, the
children you raise, the home you built and so on will always speak well of you. As you are resting in the
blossom of the most high, likewise your family here is doing well and is portraying the good life you laid.

We love you, your family, but

Christ loves you more!

For the fact that you lived a purpose fulfilled life and a well emulating life is enough reason for me not to
mourn you. The lives you touched and imparted positively to the glory of God is enough to conclude that
you lived a good life. I’m a living testimony of a live you imparted because God used you to make me
where I am today and who I am today.

Truly, it’s so sad that I won’t see you my Pastor, Mentor, Teacher, Corrector, Influencer, Counselor and
Adviser again. Till we meet at the Lord’s feet. Thank you for all you’ve done and we believe you already
having the greatest reward of all you’ve done (reigning with Christ).

Much love for you Dad! Your spiritual daughter, Esther Afolabi.

It saddens me to write this, because I don’t still believe that you are no more Daddy. Daddy, please wake
up. Your death put pains in my heart every day. I can’t forget your impact in my life, you led me into the
way of Christ. Thanks for showing us the way of the lord. You waited for us to close from church before
the incident.

Who will be like you, Daddy?

Who will say “Bimbo ounje mi da?”

Who will say “Bimbo have you taken your medications?”

Who will say “call your younger ones lets pray?”

Who will hand me over to the Pastor and my spouse on my wedding day?

Who will plan for me?

Who will be my father again?

Who will care for me?

I can’t forget the song we all sang together after our family altar.

I’m born to be great, to shine and to reign, and so I will be, no matter what hell say eeh….

I’m born to be great, to shine and to reign, and so I will be, no matter what hell say eeh….

Daddy! Daddy!! Daddy!!!

I know that you are at the right hand of the Lord, now.

Daddy I miss you and I will always miss you.

Till we meet again, Daddy.

Your daughter, Bimbo Ogundele.
