It is with great sadness that I and my family mourn the passing of our dear Pastor, Toyin Adenuga. A Leader, a brother and a friend. Oluwatoyin enjoyed gathering the church for worship and fellowship. None of us will ever forget his broad smile and his laugh. None of us will ever forget seeing his head lifted up in song-- he loved to sing! Nor will we forget his teaching of the Word of God into which Christ calls us. Oluwatoyin believed in excellence a trait most visible in his relentless efforts to ensure the sound and music during praise and worship wasn't just good, but excellent. None of us will ever forget how much he enjoyed a good worship session. I admired him, I learned much from him quietly, I was encouraged by his punctuality and consistency in service to the body of Christ. I was challenged by him and I appreciated his love for God. While we all mourn him we know what great trust he had in the promise of Christ, what great joy he had in the very thought of being a son in heaven. As we remember our dear Pastor, brother, father and friend in Christ, we pray for Nike Adenuga and their children and parents whom he loved dearly. In Remembrance, I will pray O Lord, teach us to take life as a gift, to worship and to enjoy and cherish while we have it, and to let go gracefully and thankfully when the call comes. The gift is great, but the Giver is greater still. O Lord God, art the Giver and in thee is the Life that never Dies. Amen

This message has taken me a long time to post; as I am still in disbelief. You, Gbemi and I come a long way - right from Primary one at Saint Jude’s School. Even though we left Saint Jude’s for different secondary school, we converged back at Federal Govt College, Odogbolu for our lower Sixth form before we three secured admission to study engineering together at Ife. Throughout our days in Ife, we were companions, close confidant. You and Gbemi influenced my change in career from Medicine to engineering. We even attended Shell interview together and have always been in touch ever since. Your loss that therefore been too difficult for me to cope with but I take solace in the fact that it is God’s Will. I still vividly recollect our extensive discussion when we were at Mama Adeleye’s (Debo and Gbemi’s Mum) burial ceremony. You are perfect gentleman in all ramifications. We have lost a superb gentleman, a leader, a caring father, and great friend. Rest in peace my friend. We have lost a Gem!

Mr Toyin will be remembered for his quiet confidence and servant leadership. His passing has come as a shock and he will be greatly missed. I pray for the repose of his gentle soul and for the Holy Spirit to comfort all those who loved him and he has left behind.

Toyin, you have been an in-law that is more than a brother. Such a loving, peaceful, gentle, humble and highly supportive soul. Your call unto glory has come so sudden that some of us are yet to recover from the shock but God certainly love much than any of us can. You have left a legacy that is worthy of emulation and shall indelible in our minds. May you continue in your place of deserved rest in the bosom of the Lord until resurrection morning in Jesus name.

how do you quantify the ocean. it’s vastness, it’s depth, it’s endlessness. how do you quantify the pain of grief. it’s vastness, it’s depth, it’s endlessness. how do you contain the ocean’s strength, when it overcomes the land beneath you. when it displaces the air that sustains you, how do you stay strong? how do you quantify the ocean. it’s vastness, it’s depth, it’s endlessness. how do you quantify the love, the sacrifices of a man. a husband, a father, a son, a brother, an uncle, a friend. this grief is the evidence that we loved and were loved. and in the midst of this raging storm our strength comes from the people we love. we will immortalize him through our memories of how he lived and loved. Rest in Peace, Uncle Toyin.

Quiet and confident Toyin- we will sorely miss you - our journey together started in 1976 when I joined Mayflower Secondary school - you were a year ahead . We ended up in same Engineering school in Ife and later started working in Shell about the same time.Your journey is over and you have run a good race and fought a good fight. May God comfort your loved ones as they mourn you 🙏🏽

It was a shock to hear of your passing to glory Toyin. Even though I haven’t seen you for over 20 years, memories of your love for your family and others lingers. Toyin, you were friendly, caring and supportive There was no dull moment around you and you always created a lively environment easily with your jokes. Rest in peace till we all meet at the feet of the Master

I am sure if I say the news of his passing was shocking, it would almost sound like a cliché but that is exactly what it is. Although we are from the same town, it was golf that brought us together. His gentle mien and that smile of his is unforgettable. We used to play in the morning and I can recollect memories of him in the changing room exchanging banners and then I didn't get to see him again. The next I heard was the news of his passing in faraway Canada. Everyone was shocked, how? Why? What happened? Whatever it was, we are coming to terms with the fact that Gentleman Toyin is no longer with him. If his golfing family miss him this much, I can only imagine what his other family is going through. I wish the family the fortitude to bear the loss and pray that his spirit receives help as it finds his way to paradise.
