Godwin always wore a smile and would light up every room he entered. He was a great friend, and I sincerely hope he is in a better place now. May you rest in peace, buddy.

Godwin, you are one of the most caring, genuine and authentic people that I've ever met. Your kindess makes it easy to befriend you and to open up and talk. I'm so saddened by this news and will forever remember your kindness and the light that you shone in my life. You will be greatly missed.

Godwin was the type of friend who had a contagious laughter and even as I recall this memory now, I can still vividly remember the way he would sometimes stifle his laughter through a giggle.

There was one time when we were trying to plan a surprise birthday party for a friend and Godwin chimed in to say, "I'll get the birthday boy out by telling him that I want some bro time to express my feelings haha." When the day of the event came around, we all showed up to the restaurant and much to our surprise, Godwin was there without the guest of honor. It was impossible to be mad at him because when we asked him where the birthday boy was, he said, "Guys it was just a joke! Come on, I said 'HA HA'".

When I think about all my memories with Godwin, they're filled with little moments like these because he always knew how to lighten the mood with a joke.

Even though our little posse will never be the same without you, thanks for leaving us with so many wonderful anecdotes and reminding us that the best things in life are often the simple little things.

My dear Godwin, your love and kindness to me will always remain in my heart. The day you came up to me at work and asked me how would I like to have a ride home every night from work will forever be etched in my heart. We didn't really know each other at all that day, but you reached out to me with sweet kindness knowing that I bussed home and it was very difficult in the winter. You took me right to my home and even waited until you knew I was inside, such a gentleman. On those rides home we got to know each other a little better. Thank you for you ❤️ I will dearly miss you and keep your memories close to my heart.
To Godwin's family: my sincerest condolences. May you find peace in Jesus Christ our Saviour 🙏🏼

I haven't been in touch with Godwin for a long while. When I heard the news from a friend, I couldn't believe it. Godwin and I met back in Doncrest Public School, Grade 5; then we went off to different high schools and such. In my memory, Godwin was always smiley, goofy, genuine and just a very simple, nice guy. I'm sure this is the same impression he brings to all of you.

To Godwin's family and friends, my most sincere condolences, I'm so sorry this happened. We have lost a genuine soul in this world. But at least Godwin no longer needs to feel pain and sorrows. May you Rest In Peace Godwin. 🙏🏻

Godwin stands out as one of my students that I remembered after teaching him and will always remember. To learn, he needed a personal connection with teachers and he reached out to them. I have a letter that he wrote to me after completing two courses with me in 2002-03: Grade 12 English, and Writer's Craft. "You talk a lot," he wrote me, explaining the lessons he learned from my teaching style. The line stuck in my mind as much as Godwin's presence in my classes. I learned much from him.

I was so sorry and sad to hear the news about Godwin. Even though we haven't been in touch for a while, all my memories of Godwin are positive. Godwin was a gentle soul. He was always kind and generous with his time. He would never make you feel bad (even if you teased him) and he always took the time to listen. I remember him for his empathy and his gentle smile.

Godwin burned my first music CD. He introduced me to indie music and I went to my first music concert with Godwin.

I am so sorry to hear of his passing and my heart goes out to his friends and family. The world is less bright without you. Rest in peace, Godwin. You are missed.

Godwin is more than just a brother to me. He is my best friend, my support, my moving buddy, my partner in crime, my IT consultant, and so much more. No matter what I faced in life, I knew it would be OK because Godwin was always there watching my back. His sudden departure is unbearable to me, but it brings me comfort to know that he is not longer troubled by illness and sorrows. I know you are back in God's arms now, may you rest in peace little brother. I will always love you and remember you for the most amazing person you are.

Godwin was a beautiful soul. He was an employee (part of our Scholastic family) and friend until just recently he left to persue another career with the government. He drove me a portion of the way home every night with him for 7months. We talked about a lot in our lives openly and freely. We shared laughs and discussed some deeper meanings of life. My heart breaks for his family and friends. He will be missed but never forgotten❤️

This is probably the most depressing Christmas I had in all my years. I lost a good friend that is very meaningful to me. Knowing that I won’t be seeing your smile or laughter ever in my remaining life makes me sad. Although we do not see each other weekly or even monthly you mean a lot to me. You are probably one of the longest friend I had. I still remember back then in grade 2 your long hair and smile. We used to make fun of each other and I still remember you doing the F4 Meteor garden project with me as I like f4 back in high school. We will party with other friends in you dad basement and he will give us wine and let us sleepover. Whenever I need someone to listen to me you will always be there and listen . You will crack jokes that will make my face turn from a depressing face to a happy face. Whenever I get tease you will always be the mr. Nice and help me out. Whenever i ask you to help me with something you will always do more than I ask for. I will never find another friend like you. I wish I could do more for you if I know sooner . I know it will never be the same without you. I hope you will enjoy where you are now and finally have a peaceful mind as that’s the last thing I can wish for. R.I.P

Fav Cafe 鍾意坊, Highway 7, Markham, ON, Canada

Godwin always raved about a local restaurant called, Fav Café. He loved the English 90s alt music in a Hong Kong style cafe, and the random Green Day concert posters on the wall. Most of all, he loved the curry dish on their menu. A few years ago, we went to have lunch together, and I ordered the curry dish based on his recommendation. It was just as good as he had sold it to be, and I ended up packing half of it in a take away box to enjoy later. We stopped by his place after lunch and I put it in his fridge, eventually forgetting to take it home. When I remembered the next day, he gleefully told me that he had already taken the liberty to eat it all, and that it was SO GOOD. It was hilarious how much he loved that dish.

Fav café ended up becoming the place we'd go to, whenever we wanted him to come out and meet us. It was a place where he felt good.

I've been told the original location has closed, but I intend to go back to their last remaining shop, ordering his favourite dish, and remembering him.
