This is really sad...

May your soul rest in perfect peace and may the Lord take care of the family left behind 

It was so shocking and sad to hear the news of Rotimi’s passing. I met Rotimi in the early to mid ‘90’s at Tiwa Systems in Bodija, Ibadan where we both attended computer classes during one of those long ASUU strikes . I also happened to live in Akobo like him, and he was always kind enough to give me rides back home, which was very invaluable during those days of acute fuel scarcity. We later discovered that my older sister and his older brother were friends. He had such a kind and gentle persona and this has been echoed in many other tributes I have read here. We kept in touch off and on over the years, with our last conversation being almost three years ago.

I wish to extend my deep and sincere condolence to his entire family. I pray for God’s strength and comfort at this time and always. May Rotimi’s gentle soul rest in perfect peace.  

Words cannot express the depths of sadness felt at Rotimi's sudden departure to be with the Lord. May God greatly comfort the Fatokun family at this time.

Your memory will be cherished i love u loads my dear friend and brother Oluwarotimi Kolawole Fatokun. Sleep well 😇😇😇

Bro Rotimi! I can’t believe you’re no more. You reconnected with me late last year and  we still chatted a few weeks ago.

 I promised to connect with Temi this Easter. You  were probably calling my attention to something!

You were a cool ègbón. Easy going and loving. Words fail me but God knows best. We pray comfort to the whole family and friends. Till we meet to part no more. Adieu!

Rotimi was a humble and dedicated

Very quite and easy going.

He was everything a Christian should be. May his soul rest in peace. May almighty God console and comfort the family he left behind.

Rest in peace Rotimi

Oga Rotimi. Your loss came as a very sad news to me. You were one of the most significant people in my life. Your advice, kind words, positive demeanor even in the face of tough times were always there for everyone to see.

Thank you for being a good boss and example of leadership to us the younger ones. You will forever be remembered oga mi. May God grant your gentle soul eternal rest. Amen

Dear Rotimi,

May your soul find rest in the bossom of the LORD and may your family be greatly comforted in JESUS name 

May your gentle soul rest on bro...I cannot forget the last conversation that we had...

At this period of grief, God will comfort your family, friends and associates.

Good night Rotimi. God will take care of your wife and children.......

I was shocked when I heard the news of Rotimi's passing. I remembered the last time we chatted, the joy and happiness of being able to reconnect and the promises we made to reach out again; but men can only propose and wish. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
I recall your smile, and how you carried out your duties. This is  very difficult and painful. I pray the Almighty grants your soul eternal rest and  your family, the fortitude to bear this huge loss. Amen, i have few words brother, this is hard to comprehend.

Dearest Rotimi,

Can't believe you're gone 😔. You were such a beautiful, kind soul, always smiling 😊. Thanks for teaching me drive like a pro! 3 weeks of driving school, and you helped me perfect it . I remember our drive to the island, I will pick you at your junction and drop you after work. You were kind enough to drop your car to help me perfect my driving. It was a manual car and when I forget to change the gear at Ikoyi bridge, you will tease me "cars don't stop on the road on the island" 😄.

Saw you last at Onia's New Year Party and we talked about reunion gathering for Oceanic CBD 🥺. So sad you're gone. 

Praying Femi and the kids the grace to bear the loss, and the Almighty fills the vacuum 💔. The almighty will comfort the Fatokun family 🙏🏽

Rest well, Rotimi 🙏🏽

Ahhhh!!!! I still find it difficult to believe the news. Still in great shock. I still flash back at your smiles and  gentility with everyone you came across with. God in his infinite mercies will continue to be with the family and all you left behind. May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace . Amen 
It was great to have worked beside you 24+ years ago as pioneer staff of the e-business unit. You worked quietly but diligently and were a team player. I remember the “Gambo” lunches we shared at our desk in those early days hustling in the banking world. Shame that we didn’t actually see for so many years. I pray that you find rest in the Lord and that the Almighty comforts and strengthens your family at this time 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Egbon Rote, a.k.a. Bro Rotimi

This is one of those dreams you wish you could wake up from. How can this happen? How can such a gentle and sweet soul like yours fade away so quietly and unexpectedly?

I still remember the last time our paths crossed in church. You were a man of very few words, yet your response to every greeting or gesture was always that warm, reassuring smile.

Your calm, cool, and collected nature could melt even the heaviest heart and brighten the gloomiest situation. You loved God, served Him faithfully, and followed Him in the best way you knew how. I have never seen you display anger or anything close to it, because you carried yourself with a deep inner joy and quiet happiness.

You were a devoted family man who truly cared for those you loved the most. Your wife, children, parents, and siblings are living testimonies of the love you carried in your heart. You bore your responsibilities with dignity, commitment, and genuine love.

I believe you are now with the angels and the twenty-four elders, singing endless hallelujahs to your Maker. We promise to uphold your legacy and all that you stood for while you were here with us.

Sùúrè oooo, Bọ̀dá Rotimi.

Till the resurrection morning, when all the saints shall gather again.

Goodnight.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Rotimi Fatokun. He was not just a former colleague at Oceanic Bank, but a good friend whose kindness and warmth will always be remembered. I’m grateful for the time we worked together and the memories we shared. May his soul rest in peace, and may his family find strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Roteri!!!!!!  

Words are not enough to describe you. You were beyond amazing as a colleague, friend and brother from another mother.  

Even in the midst of chaos, you remained calm with a smile on your face. This is indeed a hard pill to swallow. 

May God grant your beautiful soul peace, amen!

Oga Rote, I am still finding it difficult to believe this is true. Everytime I saw you, you never showed any sign of weakness. 

I have seen good people in life and you ranked very highly among them. Always smiling no matter the situation, even at times when others would have broken people's heads, you will always pass your message in a very calm tone. 

God will grant you much more peace in your resting place than you gave to us who were around you. You are a perfect example of what humanity is all about. 

Adieu Oga Rote

Dear Uncle Rotimi, you have ran a good race and you are surely in a better place. May your soul rest in peace.🙏
