"Today, I remember the bright smile and kind heart of Gerald, a very dear friend who left an indelible mark on my life. His unexpected passing leaves me with tears and sorrow, but also with cherished memories of his unwavering support and compassion. The last time we spoke, you sensed I was depressed. You cautioned and rebuked me to get off that mood. You consistently threatened that you'd come look for me even if you didn't find me in Nigeria anymore. Where can you find me now, Gee? Gerald was more than just a classmate; he was a true friend, a brother and even a present help to widows and single mums with no strings attached, who showed up in times of need, offering a listening ear, comforting words and lending hands. His selflessness and kindness inspired everyone connected to him to be better versions of themselves. He was so many facets to so many people just as their peculiarities were. He was simply amazing! Though his time with us is cut short, his legacy lives on in our hearts. I will deeply miss you, but I take comfort in the knowledge that your spirit will continue to inspire me, all of us, to be kind, empathetic, and generous. Rest in peace, my dear Gerald. Your memory will continually be a blessing to me. And knowing you had this smile on your lips even in death, is a consolation. I feel there's so much to say to you, but I rest it as my aching heart keeps on pondering why you and why now. May your memory continually be a blessing to us all who knew him. Love you, Gee! Barr.

It’s been a long day without you . May you find blessings in the next life . RIP, my dear friend, Uche Igwe.... Collapse

TRIBUTE TO A GOOD MAN Dear Uche, it's hard for me having to talk about you in past terms - hard to accept. I recall the times we met and related with a lot of warmth. You were always all out to make your friends happy. Your hearty laughter and boisterous personality are the tonic one needs to meet to have a joyous day. I guess Heaven needs you more at this time hence this urgent call home. Farewell, dear brother, and friend.... Collapse

Igwe as you are fondly called. The man who at different times got my back. An Igbo friend with a Yoruba boy. Right from the times at Johnson Bustop, Ijesha through to our days in Uyo. You always provided cover for me. You were the man who pulled people to you. Even when you got to the US you always reached out. God bless you for the legacies you left behind. May those legacies be a guide and support for your family Ameen. Loads of love from Waheed Ita Lawal and family.... Collapse

On June 8, 2024, we lost not just a friend, but a brother, a mentor, a pillar of strength, and a shining example of selflessness and a rugged Buccaneer. Uche’s sudden death has left us speechless and created a void in our hearts that words can scarcely begin to fill. In this moment of profound grief, we gather our thoughts to pay tribute to a man who was a blessing to so many. Uche was more than just a fraternity brother; he embodied kindness and generosity. From the very first moment we met, his warmth and genuine concern for others were unmistakable. He was very relatable and had an uncanny ability to make everyone feel valued, loved, and supported. He was a straight shooter and you always knew where you stood with him. He went out of his way to treat people right no matter what. His life was a testament to the power of selflessness. To Vivian, Uche’s wife, you shared your life with a man of remarkable character and boundless love. His devotion to you and the children was evident in his actions. His memory will forever be a guiding light, and his love will continue to envelop you, offering comfort and strength in the difficult days ahead. To Chisom and Osinachi, your Dad was a hero in the truest sense. He was a man who prioritized others above himself, always ready to lend a hand or a listening ear. His teachings and his love will remain with you, guiding you and inspiring you to carry forward his legacy of kindness and selflessness. To his beloved mother, who nurtured and raised such an extraordinary individual, please take solace in knowing that Uche’s legacy of kindness and compassion lives on in the countless lives he touched all over the world. Your son was a beacon of hope and a source of unwavering support to many. His spirit and the lessons he imparted will continue to resonate deeply with us all. To Uche’s siblings, extended family, and friends, we share in your sorrow and in the profound sense of loss. Let us remember the moments of joy, the laughter, and the countless ways he made our lives better. Uche’s spirit was one of unwavering support and unyielding friendship. He was always there for others, ready to help without hesitation, embodying the very essence of brotherhood and community. As we navigate through this difficult time, let us hold on to the beautiful memories we each created with Uche. Let us honor him by continuing to extend the same kindness, love, and support that he so generously gave to each of us. In doing so, we ensure that his spirit lives on, influencing our actions and our hearts. Uche, you were a friend like no other. Your legacy is one of love, compassion, and selfless service. While we grapple with the shock and pain of your sudden departure, we find comfort in the knowledge that your impact on our lives is everlasting. Your light will never dim, and your memory will continue to inspire and guide us. The Buccaneers Confraternity has lost a rare gem. Sail on mi rugged Scarlet. Rest in peace, dear broda. You will forever be in our hearts.... Collapse

Tribute To A Dependable Ally I stand in remembrance of a remarkable individual and a true ally who has left an indelible mark on my life. Though words can scarcely capture the depth of my sorrow and gratitude, I offer this tribute to honor the memory of a dependable ally whose presence I will forever cherish. You possessed a rare and profound understanding of what it means to be an ally. Your actions, guided by integrity and a genuine concern for others, exemplified the true essence of loyalty. You kept your promises, honored your commitments, and were always there when needed most. Your presence was a reassuring light in times of darkness. May you rest in peace, knowing that you live on in the hearts of those who were blessed to call you a friend, a companion, and a true ally. You are deeply missed, but never forgotten.... Collapse

Tribute to Yg Gerald I would have made a video tribute but..... The name [Bijay] which i adopted as nickname was given by Gerald. It comes from my name; Obiajulu. Yg as we fondly called him. I think i'm the only one who knows the meaning. He also calls me obembe. Yg was a friend like a brother. He was a friend turned brother. A lot of gimmicks even by teachers to spoil this friendship, only made it stronger. I cant pen it all here for space. When i heard this painful news, i so much wished for a miracle to bring him back. Some how, i'm still hoping on one. When Chioma said to me; that even after 4hours of his passing, he still had this smile and somewhat calmness in his face, i knew this brother was in God's bosom; which is best. I dont mourn where you are. I mourn the fact that we wont yab ourselves again, share prayers and those advise and hopeful comfort you present. Yg; my guy; my brother, you will be sooooo missed. Stay kool at God's bosom; till we meet to continually sing praises everlastingly to God our Father. Obi Nwabufoh [Bijay]... Collapse

Uchenna, i am glad we had time to strengthen our friendship at the end. Though you are gone, your spirit remains with us. When i look at the last moments we hung out together, your laughter, kindness, and personality will forever be remembered. Rest in peace broda.... Collapse

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. May your memory continue to inspire and uplift us as we navigate this world. Can't believe i won't see u @ the next convaj... Collapse

Uche, where do I start? You were a friend that stuck closer than a brother. You were always concerned for my welfare and that of my family's. Always ready to share a new idea, thought, as far as it was going to uplift the next person. You made a lasting impact nwannem and left shoes too big to fill. Thank you for the gift of your friendship albeit short. Till we meet to part no more, Rest on dear friend... Collapse

My dear brother and friend Uche, nothing material comes close to account for the beauty you brought to this life, you were one of a kind and a very special person. You were a caring father, a loving husband and brother wonderful friend. You have left an indelible mark in the lives of your beloved Wife, your Children, many loved family members, as well as friends. You literally touched and transformed a number of lives, lit up many spaces you walked into and was a caring and generous soul. I cant readily forget ur role at my wedding, our last hang out at uyo....hmmm it;s hard to think of you as in the past. If wishes were roses, then, I, Skippo (as you would call me) would have wished the Lord Almighty to bring you back to us. But since this is not the case, we accept the will of God which has fallen upon us all. Like the passage in the book of Jeremiah which says “The will or decisions of God Almighty do not bring to us disaster, hatred but love and peace”, yes, to those of us you have left behind we will have love and peace because that is what you would have wished for us. Rest On Nwanne Eyim Dimkpa!! Adieu.... Collapse

I write to convey my heartfelt condolences to your entire family on the demise of your brother Uche Igwe which sad event took place currently. Death being a necessary end which every mortal must experience, no doubt creates a great vacuum, which can hardly be filled. There is no doubt that his death will be a traumatic experience to your family, but you should all be consoled by the fact that he has only gone to join his Creator. It is therefore, my prayer that God will strengthen you and the entire family on this time of grief and sorrow and furthermore, give you the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. May the soul of your departed brother rest in the bosom of the Lord. Yours sincerely Chigozie Okafor (NAU Redemption choir)... Collapse

My best friend and my best pal.... So full of life and love.... O death, where is thy sting? … I am yet to write my tribute.... I cannot reconcile the fact that I will not see you ever again in person but only in my soul.... Who will tease me... Who will encourage me to be more social.... Who will say...."Stop thinking like that...." Who will bring out laughter from my soul when I am down.... Who understands me better than anyone as we share so many characteristic traits.... I can go on and on...….and darkness will pass by, and I will still be asking.... who will?... O grave, where is thy victory?... When I am so down, I ask GOD why?... When I am not so down, I ask YOU why?... One thing I am sure of is that God owes a debt and to pay this debt.... -we will be siblings in my next world.... -you are watching over us with your LOVE and LAUGHTER…. I pray that your "trademark DNA" - family, friendship and loyalty should always be one's essence of life..... will be written indelibly in our heart, be with us now and go before us, forever and ever, Amen. Always, Your Little Sister, Chioma... Collapse

Uche was a beautiful soul and an inspiration to all. He may have passed, but his memory will live on. May God grant him eternal rest. Amen!... Collapse
