Tributes
Pa O. as we lovingly called you, you embodied the true spirit of a devoted husband and father. Your selfless sacrifices for our well-being will forever be etched in our hearts. As a wise mentor and loyal friend, you stood firm in your convictions, unafraid to take a stand even when faced with opposition. One of the most remarkable aspects of our relationship was the harmony we shared; throughout the years, we never had a significant disagreement that required third-party mediation. Though your passing leaves a void that is hard to fill, I find comfort in God’s promises and a voice message you left for one of the children months ago, reminding us that “nothing happens without God’s approval.” Farewell, Olusola Oluwatoyin Aweda, until we reunite on the resurrection morning.”

We love you, but God loves you most. Pa O., as we fondly call you, putting these words together has not been easy. You lived a life of selflessness, pouring your time, resources, and energy into people and into God’s work without expecting anything in return. You showed your children the way of the Lord and gave us the foundation to grow in Him. You invested in our lives, and today, we are who we are because of the seeds you sowed. You served God faithfully with your gifts and in every capacity He gave you. Your passing has left a deep void in our hearts—one only God can truly fill. Yet, even in moments of weakness, your unwavering faith in God was evident, teaching us what it means to draw strength through faith.
Though painful that you had to leave us so soon, we take solace in knowing that God called you home in His perfect time, and He has given us peace that no one else could offer. You fought the good fight, and now you rest in the eternal reward only God can give.
Thank you for the indelible footprints and legacies you left behind. Your time here may have been short, but you reminded us that it is not how long we live, but how well we live.
Rest on, Papa, until we meet at Jesus’ feet—never to part again.
We love you.

I am deeply grateful to God for the life of my father-in-law, a man whose love, wisdom, and godly character touched everyone around him. He was more than a father-in-law to me; he was a mentor, a counselor, and an example of what it means to live a life rooted in faith and service.
One of the things that stood out most about him was his unwavering commitment to the education and future of his children. He believed deeply in the power of knowledge and worked tirelessly, sacrificing so much to ensure that every one of them had the opportunity to succeed. Today, their accomplishments stand as a living testimony to his dedication, vision, and the seeds he faithfully sowed.
Beyond his role as a father, he lived out his faith in God with sincerity and humility. His words carried wisdom, his actions reflected integrity, and his presence brought peace. He was a man who led by example; showing us that true greatness is found not in possessions, but in the lives we touch and the legacy we leave behind.
Though you are no longer with us physically, the impact of your life continues to shine through your children, and all who had the privilege of knowing you. I count it a blessing and an honor to have been part of this family and to have experienced his love and godly counsel.
Rest well, Daddy. Your legacy lives on.

My precious daughters, daughters of Zion, as you fondly called your daughters, you were an extraordinary father and friend, your selflessness is unmatched. Dad, your wisdom, tact, and kindness created memories of a peaceful and beautiful home where love, forgiveness and apologies flowed unhindered. You prioritized our needs above yours, often sacrificing your desires to ensure our happiness. P.O you had a large heart and cared so much for outsiders even when they obviously cared less about you.
P.O you gave wise counsel always, you were full of prophetic insights, you gave timely instructions and your teachings and guidance instilled discipline, wisdom and godly values in us.
An unforgettable memory of you is your inner strength and faith, these amaze me. Despite the excruciating pain, weakness and discomfort , you never complained, you never questioned God’s authority and sovereignty, what a man! To die is gain, heaven has gained a great steward and you are the greatest man I know that walked the earth in my lifetime.
Father of nations, it is an honour to be your daughter, thank you for giving us the best! We will not disappoint you, your legacy will live on and we will again meet on the resurrection morning.

Dad, my love for you knows no bounds – past, present, or future. You were more than just a father; you were my confidant, mentor, and biggest supporter. Your unwavering encouragement, guidance, and counsel shaped me into the person I am today. I’ll cherish the memories of our drives around town, your daily morning calls, and our conversations about life’s ups and downs. Your wisdom, comfort, and optimism were always there for me. Though you’re no longer with us, I’m comforted knowing that you are at rest. Your legacy of sincerity, loyalty, courage, and sacrifice will live on through us. Your impact on our lives will never fade. Until we meet again in eternal glory, farewell, My lovely Dad.

Today, I write not with sorrow in my heart, but with joy and gratitude — joy that the one man who showed me firsthand that you can love genuinely without expecting anything in return, that you can set goals higher than anyone else and achieve them with discipline and grit, that you can excel in every aspect of life, is now in a place of perfect peace.
I never had to look far for a mentor in family matters, career, faith, and service to God, because you excelled in them all.
I will never forget the sacrifices you made to provide for us, often without being asked, just so we could have the best. You grounded us in love and built us on values that will guide us for the rest of our lives.
You were a man of immaculate wisdom, always knowing what to say in every situation. And you never stopped encouraging me. I can still hear you proudly calling me “Programmer of the Year.” Those words still push me to excel, and they remind me that you believed in me, even when I doubted myself.
You lived a life that reflected faith, discipline, sacrifice, and love in its purest form. Though words can never fully capture who you were, your legacy speaks louder than any tribute I could give. Thank you, Dad, for being my father, my teacher, and my greatest example. Rest well, until we meet again.

A TRIBUTE TO MR. PHILIPS OLUSOLA OGUNJINMI – A MAN OF VALOUR, A FATHER TO MANY, AND A CHURCH WORKER PER EXCELLENCE!
It is not an overstatement that the demise of Mr. Philips Olusola Ogunjinmi still remains unbelievable and unimaginable to us till now. We actually didn’t know how best to describe the vacuum that his demise has created in our hearts, church and ministry.
Mr Philips Olusola Ogunjinmi was a very silent achiever. He wasn’t given to making noise about whatever he was doing either for God or fellow human beings. He served courageously and committedly in the church without listening to side talks. He was often referred to by my family as a man of faith. He pursued whatever he believed in, not minding any obstacle on the way.
The Lord used him to serve meritoriously in several offices and capacities before we assumed the pastorate of the church till when he bowed to honour the call of his Maker into eternity. He meritoriously completed his terms as the church financial secretary, Treasurer, maintenance unit chairman, land utilisation chairman, and so on. He was a loyal, faithful, and dutiful church worker.
Baba Ogunjinmi as we usually called him was a very friendly and responsible husband and father to his biological children and several other younger ones in the church. He did his best to give sound education to all his children, even when it was not convenient for him. Nothing could make Mr Ogunjinmi to be unavailable for his family whenever there was a need. He valued hard work, resilience, worship of his Saviour.
Mr. Philips Olusola Ogunjinmi, we value and unreservedly recognise all you did for our family, church, and others around you both publicly and secretly during your short but blessed life time. You will be remembered always for your sense of humour, sincere contributions to deliberations, outstanding generosity, uncommon optimism, progressiveness, and love for the Lord’s work.
Adieu our beloved Mr. P.O. Ogunjinmi! It is well with the family you left behind.

His life was a living testimony of diligence honesty and humility beyond the service to the church he also played the role of a caring husband to his wife and worked tirelessly to give his children a sound education and good future. His home was opened for warmth discipline and godly virtues you will not only be remembered for the roles you played but for a life of impartation and fulfillment that you lived.

Though it’s painful to say goodbye, we believe you’re now at peace.
You will be deeply missed.

I am still struggling to come to terms with the death of our dear Daddy Ogunjinmi. The profound friendship he extended to my family will not be forgotten. While his time on earth was regrettably short, his legacy is one of significant impact and glory. We take comfort in knowing he has transitioned to a better place, free from all afflictions and pain. May God console the family he left behind during this difficult time. Rest well, sir.
Mrs Oladimeji
You come across some people and they wield significant influence on your life. For us in our family, Daddy Ogunjinmi was such an impactful personality. He expressed an incredible, agape love to us, especially my husband since we joined this church. His types are rare, just as diamonds are. His transition is a great blow, but we are consoled by two things: first, his legacy of kind, caring and candid character and also, the assurance that we shall meet at the feet of Jesus on the Resurrection morning. Adieu, Daddy rere.
Mrs Oluwafunmi
Daddy Ogunjinmi, it is well with your soul, your sudden departure is a huge surprise to me but our God Almighty knows more than any human being. Adieu! Adieu!! Adieu!!!
Mama Ayeni
Two days before your demise, my heart was so fascinated with your family that I dropped a check-in message to your wonderful wife and amazing twins. I had always wished to pay your family a visit anytime I was in Ado-Ekiti, but it is so shocking to hear about your passing! So, I won’t be seeing you again on this terrestrial side of life. I take solace in God that we shall meet someday at His feet. Daddy Ogunjinmi, I count it a great blessing to have met you. Every member of your family radiates glory. I cherish your gentle soul, the stories you shared, and the warmth of your presence, oh, moments with you were always juicy and refreshing. I will miss that deeply!
I’m grateful to God for the gift of your life, for the values you instilled, for giving your children the gift of quality education, and for being a light in your family and community. I’m sure your children and loved ones will carry this legacy with pride and gratitude. So much more could be written about you, but I rest in the truth that heaven has gained a saint. I pray that God will abide with the family you left behind and grant them strength, peace, and comfort.
Mummy Ogunjinmi, my amazing friends (Ronke, Kehinde, and Taiwo), dear brother Seyi, and all members of First Baptist Church, Ado-Ekiti, may the LORD uphold you, surround you with His love, and fill every void with His presence.
With love;

Daddy Philips Ogunjinmi was not just a name to us; he was a presence—steady, strong, and full of grace. His life was one of deep faith, commitment to family, and service to humanity. Born with a humble beginning, Daddy rose to become a man whose wisdom and integrity earned him respect wherever he went.
He was a father to many, a mentor, a counselor, and a friend. His door was always open, his words always seasoned with grace. To his children and grandchildren, he was a guide and protector, teaching by example the values of honesty, hard work, and the fear of God. To his friends and community, he was a pillar of support—generous with his time, resources, and prayers.
Daddy believed in leaving people better than he met them. His love for knowledge, his dedication to the things of God, and his selfless service spoke volumes about the man he was. He lived fully, laughed deeply, and gave endlessly. Though we feel the pain of his departure, we find comfort in knowing he lived a life of purpose and left a legacy that will echo for generations. Daddy Philip Ogunjinmi’s memory will remain alive in our hearts and actions, for he taught us that true living is measured not by the years but by the impact made on others. Rest well, Daddy. Your journey here may be complete, but your influence and love lives on.
Samuel Sunday Araromi and Family.
Daddy, I still can’t figure it out that you’re gone to be with your maker, anyways ninu ohun gbogbo ka ma dupe, your fatherly role and your advice to us young ones will be forever missed.

Adieu Uncle till we meet at the feet of Christ on resurrection morning!

You were one of the few people whose heart we were quickly endeared to when we got to Ado in 2012. I noticed without much Ado your simplicity, love for others, firmness, dedication to God and His service. Your heart was indeed a golden one. Thanks for being a worthy epitome of sacrifice. The last time we visited you, we saw your strength even in weakness. Your words still ring in our ears and hearts. Baba Ogunjinmi, It was indeed a blessing to have met and known you. Though painful you are gone, we are glad you lived with eternity in view. Your memory is blessed. May the Lord preserve the lovely family you left behind.Rev Adesola and Mrs Oluwatosin Adeyemi

Baba Ogunjinmi as you are fondly called, you came, you saw, and you conquered. I so much cherish your love and care. You always called me up to check up on me whenever you didn’t see me in the Church. That act of yours meant a lot to me. I remember your gentle corrections when I called you up too. Thanks be unto God for the good life that you spent though I would have loved it to be longer. Your memory will continue to linger for a long time. On the September celebrants platform, you were always sending daily prayer messages. We have been missing you on our page too. Thank God for the works that you did in the Church of God. We love you, Sir, but God loves you more. Rest on in the bosom of the Lord. My prayers are that God will take care of your family and loved ones. They will enjoy the fruits of your labour and good deeds wherever they go in Jesus Christ name. Sun re oo, dear Baba Ogunjinmi P.O.Ogundare Ezra
Words seems so feeble in moments like these,. one thing we know is that God takes what is His, and what He gives is His, and to all things He has appointed a time. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Our hearts ache in sadness, for what it means to loose someone so dear to us like you, no one will ever know,…. You were a father whose worth can never be told, your demise left a vacum in our hearts that no one can fill, we totally take solace in God, the owner of our lives. We miss you and always will. Pa O. as we fondly call daddy, was a man like no other, if selfless care, humility, patience, and compassion had a form in human then it was him, he was an icon worthy of emulation, a true definition of what a family should be like. He was a hero, a strong support system, a hardworking and strong individual who was always there for us all. He was selfless, he lived for others and always willing to help, He stood strong and remain my sure support from the beginning of my tertiary academical journey, I remember when mummy registered me for a nursing school and it was time to write their entrance examination, daddy personally he took me in his car to and fro the venue of the Nursing school exams, supported me fully all through my academics period till my service year, always making sure things are taking shape with me academically, I remembered when it was time to go for youth service, daddy also took me in his car to Akure where I boarded a bus to Plateau for youth service. Daddy was highly principled and stood firm for what he believed was in the general interest of everyone. He was a team maker, always there and upholding family ties and friendship. He never allowed anyone play his fatherly roles a father Truly, to God we belong and truly to him we shall all return. May the Holy Spirit us the fortitude the bear daddy’s demise. Rest on Pa O., till we meet to part no more.Deborah Ojewande
Your life was so impactful and filled with love. yours was a heart so tender and full of grace, always leaving room to accommodate others, irrespective of who or what they are. Your love, guidance, and words and example helped me build a great marriage and family I am so grateful, and already miss you. P.O. rest well till we meet on the great morning. Halleluyah!Oluwatoyin Akhiegbe
Forever in our hearts and your life was a blessing to us. The memory of the time you spend with us will forever be a treasure to us. Till we meet again!Ola Olu
Uncle, as I fondly called you, your departure was obviously untimely. Many things to remember you for, but not enough space to write about all. I remember the first time your darling – my sister, introduced you to the family as her fiancee. Jealousy raked my heart, because you have come to take my favorite sibling away, but few years after the wedding, my heart warmed up extremely towards you because you had proved to be a worthy in-law. Always trusting, swift with advice, your believe in me and my capabilities was ever unwavering. It gave me the needed encouragement to strive on during difficult times. These have engrave your thought permanently in my heart and it will forever be there. You are the pride of men, the pride of an husband, the pride of a father and the pride of a friend, worthy of emulation. Be blessed and rest on, in the bosom of our saviour and creator until we meet to part no more. Adieu, Uncle Sola!Idris Lawal
Our daddy, Mr P. Ogunjinmi, you were a caring and amiable man, a jolly good fellow. You loved and shared it in clear terms, in your own simple way. You were always and still sending daily prayers to me ,even on your sick bed, until it was no longer convenient for you. You recognised me on the hospital bed, called my name and promised me you would soon be on your feet. However, God has a better plan for you. You’re now resting in His bossom, free from all life’s struggles and vicissitudes. We loved you, but God loves you more. Rest on, dear brother. We shall sorely miss you! Adieu, till the resurrection day! May God stand by your dear wife and loving children. May He give them more hope in Him and grant them the enduring fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Amen!Gladys Aderonke
Daddy’s humility is top notched. I have always admired the way you dance in church and you’re always so cheerful. God knows the best and may He keep your soul resting in peace till we meet to part no more.
