My memories of you from medschool are of your kindness, gentleness and dignity. If ever there was one born to be a doctor it was you. May God indeed grant everyone the fortitude to bear your loss.

Dotun…
I finally and yet somehow found the courage to say this. I really don’t know where or how to begin… You truly touched lives.
So many memories with you kept flooding my head… and your death still feels so untrue. From meeting you when you handed over to my set at PSSF to the NCCDMS days etc. I remember always coming to spend the night with you and Akin at your UCH BQ when i crossed over to UCH, the so many hours of fellowship, gist and worship, how you never joked with your bread and suya!
And then…your faith, your encouragements…you calling me on your way to NYSC camp in Niger State and spending over an hour cheering me up me when you heard I had a Paeds resit and how out bond grew stronger when we got to know our eldest siblings were close friend and classmates at Ife…
I remember your infectious laughter, the twinkle in your eyes and your bold and resentful stance against mediocrity.
We shared so much this year after losing touch for over a decade…Those nights of talking for hours and your constant reminder to me that anything is possible.
I have not seen you in 21 years but Il always cherish the pictures you sent me this February after Momi’s burial.
Thank you for everything Dotun. Thank you for teaching me how to trust God and making the Christian Life fun and simple.
Rest on dear brother.

I met Dotun around 1998 or 1999 in NCCMDS, when I was a newbie preclinical medical student in Ibadan. He was this great, tall, bubbling, passionate older bro who had 'been there, done that' and could help you on the Way.
I got to know him more in VCF. My fondest memories of Dotun are of him explaining, confessing, praying or rejoicing over concepts in the Scriptures. He loved Jesus passionately and everybody heard about it.
You always knew with Dotman, you'd get the right mix of patience, wise advice, tough love and gentleness. I can still hear his voice going "Dayo bawo ni?" with a smile and twinkle in his eyes. He was loving, principled and passionate. At many crossroads, he was there. Leadership dilemma o , marriage o, relocations o, childbirth o...
I still quote Dotun to others...
I really thought we'd have many more years especially after moving closer to you, but it was not to be.
E sun re o, Egbon daada, Egbon rere lojokojo. I'll never forget you. May the Lord keep your wife and children even way more than you have loved and served others. Till we meet again rejoicing at the Resurrection...

Adedotun, words had failed me since I heard about your demise, it was a very rude shock that I am still trying to deal with it.
How can I ever forget you, my beloved brother, my son shares his name with you, he took his very first steps in your home in Glasgow, your birthday each year can never be forgotten , 1 day before my younger sisters.
You were always there for medical questions & how to deal with them. I remember when my dad was diagnosed with AAA, I gave you a call & you dropped everything & landed at UCL with us while we kept vigil on the OP, until the consultant walked in midnight & asked if we were believers & that the OP was a success. So many stories from our childhood as both our families were intertwined together.
Adedotun, you have fought a good fight, rest well beloved brother & we will see you again on the resurrection morning.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I had the great privilege of working with Dotun in Brooks. He was such a genuine and kind man. I rejoice in the promise he is with his Savior and am praying for Gods comfort for you all during this unbelievably difficult time.

Dotman was such a great influence and inspiration. I met him in PSSF as our academic coordinator. He lived to fulfil that in my life. With his aid, I actually made 7 points in Physics. Those wonderful prayer meetings we had behind the Chapel of Resurrection were such a joy as I recall. You lived an impactful life. When I heard of Dotman's passing , I wept till my eyeballs hurt me badly. My comfort is that God has gained Dotun though we miss him here. My prayers are with Dami and the children.

Dotun was a 'natural' leader and an ardent follower of Christ. He strived to demonstrate what he truly believed.
I remember back then in medical school, during our outposting at Igboora, he was unanimously elected to lead our gatherings. I can recall the essence of a talk he delivered in one of our meetings. He had talked about how we could practically grow to love those we resented or were not endeared to. I know he did not only 'talk the talk but he walked the walk'
He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and colleagues.

So sad to see you go Dotun, and even more so for the family and loved ones you left behind. You are a very caring, loving and an amicable individual. Always willing to go the extra mile for others. Always very positive and very rich with the spirit of generosity. While we are sad you left this world, we are very assured that it is a transition into glory. Your love for God and devotion to purpose was so evident and very infectious, Praying for the God of comfort be with your family and loved ones you have left behind.
Rest in peace 🙏❤️
