TRIBUTE
My Dad ,My Dad I remember your mischievous nature,till the end you still made jokes.
As a child I remember you protecting me from punishment from my mum when I was naughty.
I can still see myself under the dinning table scared for my dear life and you gently bringing me out.
I remember you giving me a red pen knife when I was going to secondary school to protect myself from hoodlums if I ever found myself in a fix.
Your words were”don’t allow anyone to touch you”.I thank God that I never had any reason to use it.😁
You were always there at the nick of time.
Though we disagreed on a lot of things I thank God for your life.
I thank God that you said you loved Jesus and acknowledged Him.
Always in my hearts.
Abimbola Tunde-Adebiyi (Mrs)
Grandpa,
Thank you for the love you showed unto us.
Christmas was fun because we came to the house with other people to keep you and grandma company for the festivity, it definitely would be different from now on.
I remember I ate catfish all the time we came to your house as a child because you reared catfish on a full scale.
We always had reasons to laugh whenever we were around you.
You will be missed, the thought of you not being there is painful but our confidence is that we’d meet again at the feet of Jesus.
Rest easy Grandpa,
Love Oluwateniola
Grand-daughter
My Tribute
Mr Isaac Oyeyemi was more than an in-law to me. When he was living in Yaba in the early 70s, we were very comfortable staying with him whenever we came holidaying in Lagos.
When he came visiting my family in 2008 at Ilorin he encouraged me in fish farming by putting me through methods of fish farming. He was a lovable and godly person. He has gone to rest with Lord. May the Lord comfort all he has left behind.

TRIBUTE TO AN AMAZING MAN.
We give all glory to God for the life you lived. It is impossible for us your siblings to forget the roles you played in our lives. Surely you were God sent. You were the fourth in the family of seven, yet you always came to our rescue in our times of difficulties. You vigorously and lovingly monitored our steps and progresses in our lives. No wonder God rewarded you with wonderful children.
My brother, I remember the way opened the word of God to us, you advised and followed us up. Your kindness, unwavering support will never be forgotten.
Though you are gone, your impact remains. Myself Lydia, Victoria, David, Moses, and my senior brother, Nathaniel love you. Death is a common denominator for everyone so we should all get ready.
You have run the race and have finished well.
Continue to rest in the blossom of our Lord till the resurrection morning when we shall meet to part no more.
Your sister, Lydia Oyedepo(nee Oyeyemi) Mrs.
I know baba, though from afar off but not far enough not to know that he was such an amazing man. He loved to offer help when it comes to him to do so. I remember when we were about to start wisdom Christian assembly, my pastor and I went to him to seek his counsel. Not only did he gave us what I considered a sound counsel, he also offered us monetary assistance.
I also know that he was a loving father to his children. He took time to give them sound teaching of the word of God as it is exemplifies in the life of my dear sister: bimbo adebiyi.
Baba no doubt will be missed because he was an impactful person both at home and indeed his surroundings.
May his beautiful soul rest in peace. Amen.
Pastor Olayinka Joseph Amosun.
I met Daddy when Tunde Oyewole came into my life about forty years ago and immediately experienced his rich sense of humour.
Daddy was a genuine person, so unpretentious. What you see is what you get. He would call a spade a spade. He liked holding intellectual discussion and was well informed on a lot of issues. I always looked forward to being engaged by him whenever we visited. His diction was impeccable!
Good night Daddy. You will surely be missed.
Daddy Idimu as we call him would make you laugh and happy anytime you are with him.
Always smiling,cool and calm.
He always had a kind word for one.
You will be greatly missed.
I wish you paradise.
I wish warmth and l wish you love.
*A Tribute to a Remarkable Life*
I celebrate the life of an extraordinary individual, a man whose presence leaves an indelible mark in the hearts of those he touched.
My father ~in-law~, was a man full of joy and a spirit that was contagious, he had a way of making you feel welcome. His infectious smile and jovial demeanor was his signature.
His passion for real estate was evident in the way he spoke about it, and his knowledge and expertise in the field were impressive. He once told me “you can buy land with your mouth”.
One of his most striking qualities was his remarkable diction.
While he could be slightly stubborn at times, I consider it as a testament to his conviction and commitment to the things he believed in.
I say goodbye to my friend, my father and my teacher, my comfort is in the memories we shared. 😎😎😉😉
Rest in peace, dear dad!
Olatunde (Bishop) Adebiyi
Son ~in law~
He was always full of smile and you can’t be around him and not be happy or laugh. He was energetic and I still remember when we got a tank and he was explaining how as an engineer, one could easily roll the tank. Thank you for being a beautiful soul, keep resting in the Lord’s bossom, sir.
Daddy you were a fun-loving & caring father. You ensured we were always provided for, protected and brought up to be responsible adults.
One fond memory of you was once when Mum travelled, you surprised us by making one of your exotic dishes. You introduced us to banana fritters and rice pudding.
You taught me to be analytical and think through problems to arrive at the solution. When my friends visited home, I could always depend on you to share a funny story and do your best to ensure they felt welcomed.
Thank you so much for everything Daddy, you lived a good life, I love you and you will be dearly missed.
Rest well with our Lord.

Such a great man who’s left a great legacy behind.
He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

Daddy was a good Father, you can see it through the lives of his children. From the first day, he welcomed me with open arms, cracking jokes and gisting like we’d known each other for a long time.
Even though we will miss him, we know he is at rest with our heavenly Father.
Sun re Baba Oyeyemi.
