Your life was a testament to hard work, perseverance, and a deep commitment to faith, family, and profession. Your journey from a small town in Kadjebi, Have-Kofe to becoming a respected professional in the maritime and drilling industries was a reflection of your dedication, resilience, and relentless pursuit of excellence.

Throughout your life, you were known for your unwavering commitment to excellence, your dedication to safety, and strong leadership. Your career in the maritime and drilling industries were marked by series of accomplishments that left a lasting impact on all who worked with you. You were not only a skilled professional but also a mentor, a leader, and a role model.

You were grounded, peaceful, and always welcoming—even to strangers. As kids, we were your biggest fans, proudly telling our neighbors that our dad was stronger than theirs. It might seem amusing now, but it speaks volumes about the strength and presence you brought to our lives during those formative years.

You taught us to live in harmony with others and to treat everyone with respect, for none of us knows what tomorrow holds. When you fell ill that Wednesday, June 26th, 2024, and we rushed you to the General Hospital, we believed you’d recover—after all, you were rarely ever sick. But little did we know that God had other plans for you that Sunday morning.

Daddy, continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty.
