Randomly heard your voice in my head this morning as I got off work.  “Hey Kid”! You would always say that on the phone the few times i called you. 

My thought was to call my mom because for a moment I wasn’t sure if you were gone or not. 

I can’t believe it’s been 8 years already.

I know you’re okay and your soul is expanding wherever you are. 

You’re gone from this plane of reality, but you’re not forgotten.

your wife, Shade

Yo Bro-tha Yomi,Yo Bro-tha Yomi,Yo Bro-tha Yomi......and you would say"Yo Bro-tha Billy.....~ We would do that at least 10-15 times or more.I Will Miss saying that to You each time we would connect! From Day One You have been a Big Brother to Me & Welcomed me into Your Life & Home. Your Wisdom has always been Greatly Appreciated. But Above All I am Happy that You Know Jesus & can See You with Your Crown & Robe. You Lived the Life of an Example of Christ Living in You as You'd Light the Room with Your Smile!

My Heart & Soul are Filled with unending Sympathy for your loss, Shade & ChiChi. But the Joy of the Lord so Overflows me with the Joy of those Moments in Time we all spent together, time together by much laughter. I was glowing in Delight when I first met you Shade, that God had given My Bro-tha a Beautiful Wife with much Wisdom & a Heart of Gold. All I can Say is He has left many good memories to hold onto & cherish,take your time and keep them close as you recount them.

The world will be poorer without you.

Mr Olatunde ( Egbon),  I have not recovered from your sudden departure. The last time i came to your house, I did not know it would be the last time. Within the short time i know you, i found you to be a good and loving person. It is true that good tree doesn't last in the forest. I shared the sorrow your family is going through at this time and pray that almighty God comfort them.
Ayobami Oyelami.

My Dear Uncle, It is hard to believe I will not hear you on the phone saying Omo Iya! Your Generosity and fierce loyalty to Family were a blessing and an example. Since the day I arrived in the US, you have been a source of encouragement and I will always remember your kindness to me. You were honest to a fault and I did not get to say thank you, often enough. I will miss your laughter and your asking about the welfare of my family! I hope I can be half as generous as you were. Thank you for being you.

Our dear sister,
Words are inadequate to express our shock at the passing away of one of us, Yomi Olatunde. It is impossible to write on paper what we are feeling in our hearts. We pray that God will grant him eternal rest. We wish to take this opportunity to identify with you in this serious and sad hour of your life as his spouse and we hope that the fact that we are all with you will help to soothen the sorrow and wipe your tears. The pain is not one that can be expected to just go away with a wish, but we are all confident that God who heals all sorrows will give us all the fortitude to bear the loss in the Christian attitude of meeting in eternity to part no more.

We wish to thank you most sincerely for the wonderful and supportive role you played in his life during his earthly sojorn. You gave all you had to make him a happy and contended ma. In the difficult times of his life you were there as water on perched land. Even-though he is no longer around to repay all your goodness, his God and our our God will open the countenance of His face and pour His blessings on you and on all yours. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

GOD CREATED US TO BE GIVE GLORY TO HIS NAME BY LENDING A HELPING HAND TO THE LESS PRIVILEDGED

The news of uncle Yomis death was a rude shock to us. Although we did not have the opportunity of meeting him we heard nothing but good news about his character and person . Shade God will comfort you, we will continue to remember Uncle in our thought and prayers .

Labake and Tony Adegbesan (Omolayole)

Uncle Yomi, this is one of the moment when words just aren't enough to express the pain of your loss. You were thoughtful, kind and caring, to think that I will never hear your infectious and hearty laughs again and the phrase 'OMO IYA' as you answer the phone  is just too hard to take in. 
You were one of a kind, a rare breed that can never be replaced. We take solace and draw our strength from the Lord for though I lost an Uncle and a friend, Heaven gained an Angel. Our lives are richer for knowing you.
Auntie Shade & Sandra we pray that the Lord will continue to uphold and strengthen you.
Uncle Yomi, you left too soon but as a believer we say IT IS WELL because we know you are resting in the bossom of the Lord. Till we meet again:
'OMO IYA Sun Re O'


Loosing you changes my entire life. I can hear your voice in spirit talking to me. I can always feel you with me, So many of the years together, so many memories we two created together are all I have left. I feel completely and totally uncomfortable making even minor decisions. I hope and believe your spirit will guide me through and may you rest in peace, my dear Yom! Yom!!
Shade  (Iyawo Oga)

Abayomi! my dearest brother, you called me the night before and we spoke. You were always thoughtful asking after me. We said our good byes then but it was never meant to be this way.
My heart is heavy as I say good bye again. Rest In Perfect Peace. We shall meet again!

Yomi dear, no time to say goodbye but with this candle, you've not really gone; with each flickering flame, in my heart, you will always belong. God bless you and keep you,until we meet again.
Love you, Shade

Yomi dear, it hurts so much that you are gone forever, everywhere I look is a reminder of you Of us, of everything we shared. I feel so lost and all alone especially at night when everybody had gone to sleep. There is nobody to share my day and thinking with, I really miss you dear. Your darling wife, Shade.

"Life is Good"  but Heaven will be better.
 I'll miss you. You gave me the power to be positive, no mater the situation.

Uncle Yomi it was a pleasure knowing you.  You will be missed, and your memories will forever be in how hearts.  Every time we use the word OMO IYA you will always be remembered. E sun re ooooo.

Dear Uncle Yomi, to put our loss in words, is a moutain to climb, but as difficult as your loss is to us, we have consolation in the belief that you are resting in the bossom of the Lord. 
We will be strong as we grieve because i know that is what you will want from us.We will miss your infectious positivity,sincere love, care and concern for our well being. When i heard about this all i was saying was 'he was such a good man, he is so special' indeed you were  a jolly good fellow.
I know that you left us in the physical realm, your love and care for us guarantees a special place for you in our hearts for ever. I will also miss our analysis of the NFL and soccer games, you sure know your stuff.
Aunty Sade, Chichi, may the Lord continue to be your pillar of support.

Adieu Omo Iya

Uncle Yomi. Though they say you are gone but you are right here in my heart. Since the departure of your brotehr (my dad) you call us almost every week but we never met when you were alive. we only talked on phone but you gave me all the hope that every thing will be ok. If it's true that you are gone, "OMO IYA"  rest in the bossom of the lord till we part no more. "SUN RE O"

O death where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
Thanks be to God which giveth victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
We love you but God love you more.
My dearest uncle, rest in the bossom of the Lord forever more

Sun re ooo!!!

Dear Uncle Yomi, your sudden departure at this time is an unforeseen tragic  blow to all of us at a time you began to restore hope, pride and sense of belonging in the Esho's. A father and rallying force we were looking up to. So, what is going to happen to us now? ...and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. Is. 57:1. God understands. Glory be to Him forever, Amen. Big Daddy sleep on in the Lord till will meet and never part again. Adieu! Auntie Shade, Sandra, please take heart God is already giving you the fortitude to bear the loss and pain. My heart goes to you. -  His Omo Iya, Olu Esho.

My darling Yomi (Omo iya), you have gone to rest in the Lord but you will forever be in my mind and soul. Words cannot describe how heavy my heart is right now, but I know you will always be with me to see me through. I wish I could bring you back home to us. I'm perfectly sure that you are with God and Iya Alakara and they will surely take good care of you. Remember all that we've discussed and do not leave me to suffer here. Rest in perfect peace my love and we will surely meet again.
Your darling wife, Shade (Iyawo Oga).


My darling Yomi (Omo iya), you have gone to rest in the Lord but you will forever be in my mind and soul.

I'm perfectly sure that you are with God and Iya Alakara and they will surely take good care of you. Remember all that we've discussed and do not leave me to suffer here.

My darling Yomi (Omo iya), where you have gone, you are not so small.
Your soul is as wide as the world is tall.
You have gone to answer the call, the call of the One who takes care of us all.
My dear, Yomi, if tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk
right up to heaven and bring you home again. I'm perfectly sure that you are with God and Iya Alakara and they will surely take good care of you. Rest in perfect peace my love and we will surely meet again.
Your darling wife, Shade (Iyawo Oga)


Please feel free to include your tributes and express your condolences to the family. I am grateful for all your loving support towards me and our family. Thanks.

It will take me a while to accept that you are gone.
it hurts more than I can explain. Already, I miss your humor, your smile, your laugh, your pregnant belly :-D ... even your ace Organic Chemistry and work hard lectures - You've always had my best interest in mind and again, words cannot express how thankful I am.
But if you've taught me anything at all, you've taught be to be strong
so don't worry about me because I find my strength in the LORD and He has informed me that every thing will be okay.
I love you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much Daddy!

p.s. those multiple times you tried to explain football, golf, soccer, hockey, and basketball to me, I really did understand-I just cherished those times with you. Oh and every time I hear the word ironic, I will be reminded of you and yes I will also remember the lady and the bulletin board as the best definition. ;-)

So many random memories we will have from the little things that others won't understand: ironic, ihop, CHHIIIIICH, Organic, Chess, wigs, silk milk, our muffin connection, terminology, oversized tshirts, curfews, silly grins, hearty laughs.... never to be forgtotten

You were my dad, my mentor, and my friend.
Rest in Peace Daddy
Sincerely, Your Daughter

My darling Yomi (Omo iya), where you have gone, you are not so small.
Your soul is as wide as the world is tall.
You have gone to answer the call, the call of the One who takes care of us all.

right up to heaven and bring you home again. I'm perfectly sure that you are with God and Iya Alakara and they will surely take good care of you. Rest in perfect peace my love and we will surely meet again.
Your darling wife, Shade (Iyawo Oga)

Words cannot and will not fully express our heartfelt grieve over your departure. We have lost a brother, a friend, a confidant, a soccourer. We'll definitely miss you. Nevertheless, we are consoled in that your sweet loving memories will forever remain green. May the good Lord grant you joy and eternal rest.
