It does not seem like two years already since your departure as the impact has remained vivid and fresh, frequently still seeing you coming through our front door with your usual bounce and broad smile followed by our ritual of sharing mature wine and small chops which lubricated our animated discussions.
You will always be fondly remembered and missed.
May your entire family remain strengthened and specially blessed by the Almighty God.

Sir Doks, two years have passed, but the void left by your departure remains deep within our hearts…….. you were a guiding light, an awesome hubby, father, big brother whose wisdom and kindness touched every part of my life. As a mentor, you were my anchor, always there to offer advice, support, and encouragement, shaping me into who I am today. As a benefactor, your generosity knew no bounds, but it was your spirit, full of warmth and compassion, that I cherish most. Though you are no longer physically present, your legacy lives on in the lessons you taught me, the love you showed, and the countless lives you touched. I feel your presence in the quiet moments, in the decisions I make, and in the inspiration I carry with me every day. Today, we remember your laughter, your wisdom, your elegant sartorial taste, jazz, zeal for life, and your love. We celebrate your life, not in sorrow, but in gratitude for the time we had with you. You will forever be missed, forever cherished, and never forgotten. Rest well, until we meet again.

Your passing came with no warning. I wish I had the time to tell you how much of a blessing you were. As the youngest member of the Executive Council of the Federal Nigeria Society for the Blind, I made friends with wonderful older people like you as we did our humanitarian bit to ease the pains of sudden blindness. At the meetings, you provided sound advice from a fair point of view and could always see the bigger picture. You passed when the charity needed you most, at a point where you were working tirelessly to bring about great transformation. Your death is indeed a painful loss. I had looked forward to visiting your huge farm but didn't make out the time. May your soul rest in an oasis of gentle peace.

Uncle, I’ll never forget the sound of your voice. You always lit up a room when you started speaking. Your energy level was infectious. After dad, you were the closest thing to a father to Tara, Femi, and I in Holland. Your daughters are my sisters and Aunty Yetunde is my mama. I wish we had more time to banter about how delightful the plantain from your farm is, to gist about your trips to the farm and the cool stuff you would get up to out there. Wish you had a chance to watch the grand kids get older. What I can say for sure is you lived a wholesome life; you lived it well. Your legacy is cemented in the beautiful, strong women you brought forward. Wherever they go, your legacy will be felt. Your generations will say: “tell us how grandpa was, tell us how awesome grandpa was”. Your children and grand children will speak of your intelligence, your kindness, the love for your family, your loving soul, your sternness, your love for Amala, and your dedication to God. You ran your race well Uncle. Your legacy is in good hands. Rest easy. Love you .. Rotimi

Uncle Doks gone to the Great beyond? How come?!?
I am trying so hard to detach myself from the reality of Uncle Doks demise. The thought of not seeing those delightful smiles afar off when approaching him is certainly incomprehensible! Those ribs cracking jokes, candid pieces of advice and exemplary stories are not to be heard anymore?
*How rude can death be?*
Uncle Doks, you were friendly and so had friends in all age brackets, of which I am privileged to be one. You had a superb sense of homour *but* now, death wants me to think of you in silence and speak your name with memory being my keepsake.
I am still hoping that I will awake from sleep and find that this has just been a horrible, horrible dream. Unfortunately, that is not to be the case having seen you lay in that coffin, the *reality and finality* of the situation hurts to an unimaginable degree.
Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I will throw strength to the winds and finally get some closure on the fact that you are now *only* to be remembered by what you have done.
Surely, the Flight Of Angels have flown you to your eternal home in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
*Adieu Omo Oba Adedokun Adegbite Adeyemo - Uncle Doks*

It's just dawning on me that your death is real. I saw you in June when you came to UK enroute to USA. I didn't know that would be my last time seeing you. Oh dear, this is not good at all.You have always been everybody's mentor, you created time for everybody. The vacuum you left is too big for any replacement to come readily.If tears could build a stairway and memories build a lane, I 'down walk right up to heaven & bring you home again.
But those we love & cherish don't go away ,they walk beside us everyday.....unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed & very dear.

THE DOKUN THAT I KNEW
It is not often that one finds humor, discipline and modesty in the courts of royalty; this was the character blend that I experienced in my dear friend Adedokun. I believe that endowed grace enabled him to serve his Lord and live life joyfully on life’s own terms. A man of routine, Dokun was an early riser who started his day with his devotional and morning walk … oh, and a delightful cup of coffee. I once teased him that one could set a watch by his morning routine, he burst into his characteristic laughter responding: “Oya now, go ahead.”
A quintessential family man, there was so much love, fun and laughter in the Adeyemo home. We thank God for the Christian example we experienced in this family. This past June, we enjoyed with Dokun an open theatre performance of the “Carole King Musical”, courtesy of one of the Adeyemo princesses. As the musical progressed, Dokun stood up and started swaying to the music. “Oya now”, he beckoned. We joined in, and so did the ‘Oyinbos’. “Abi, what to do”. No straight jacket for this royalty, "ojare”. Life is for living. Little did we know ….. all glory to God for His abiding grace. Dance on eternally in the presence of your Lord.
May the Lord continue to comfort and strengthen Olori and the Princesses as He alone can, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Tribute to my dearest brother, Omo Oba Adedokun Adeyemo aka sir Doks.
The sad news of your passing on came to me in the afternoon of Saturday 24th of September. It hit me like a rocket blast, I was confused and wondering what could have happened until I had to confirm from brother Denji.
And now finding the strength to write this tribute to you brother mi is just by God’s grace. Where do I start? Brother, from the moment I was old enough to recognise you as my big cousin, you have always been my role model, my mentor, big brother and friend. We all lived together at Iremo before our parents moved to their newly built houses at Obalejugbe and Akarabata. Though I was young and couldn’t remember much of the earlier years at Iremo, but I felt such love you showed me in my teenage years. Whenever you came around on holidays, I would move myself to Akarabata straight away. Why? Because you were such fun to be around, we partied from night till day break. Akarabata was the common ground for all of us to gather and feel free to express ourselves.
You played a major role in my education, you would always given me the best advice when I was stock on the decision to study law in Unife. I waited three years and never got the admission because every year the cut off point moved. It was you who said I should accept my offer in Uniben instead of wasting time. You allowed me to use your accommodation at the post graduate hall in Ife to study. You were always ready to pamper me at every opportunity you had. You couldn’t attend my wedding because you were outside the country then but you still sent me gift. You had left PortHarcout before my family and I moved there but you always make it a duty to come visit me and my family anytime you were in town. Brother mi, you were one in a million, the man with a big heart. Popularly called Ajisafe by my mum. It took me time to understand the meaning. Thank you brother mi for taking care of Maami, you never failed to support her. You made her well-being your ministry, I pray God will count it good work for you and raise helpers for your widow, children and grandchildren also in Jesus mighty name.
Death our last enemy has dealt us a blow and created a vacuum which only God can fill and I know He will fill it. We love you brother mi, but Jesus loves you best. It has please your maker to take you at this time and we can’t question His decision. I pray the good Lord will overlook your shortcomings in His mercy and grant you easy passage to paradise in Jesus mighty name. Continue to rest in peace in the bosom of your maker till we meet again in eternity. Amen.
Your little sister

Sir Doks was a very gentle, unassuming and well mannered person and one of the people that made me immediately comfortable when I first joined Shell. He knew my mom from Ife and watched out for me always. Such a quintessential gentleman. His passing is so sad and I pray that his family find the strength to bear the loss and the great void he will leave behind. On behalf of my self and the rest of the Shell HR family I pray that Sir Doks will truly rest in peace. Funmi Ogbue
