There are no words to describe the void that your absent left in our hearts. We love you dearly, "big daddy," but Jesus loves you more, so he took you home. Continue to rest in peace just as you were peaceful while you were with us. We will and definitely miss you as we continue to cherish the monents we spent as a family. Big Daddy, your generosity , kindness, courage, and compassion for people around you live on . You were a man of great integrity, a silent hero and a giant, which everyone around you understands . You gave out of your all not only to your immediate family but all who come across you. I can not forget your sacrifice of love , giving to other out of your kind heart to see them grow and succeed in life. 23 years ago, you and your wife Babiana (my aunt) paid for my flight ticket to Ametica. You did not stop at that , when I arrived
in the United States, you invited me to Canada , supported me emotionally, financially, and gave me guardians to navigate my new environment. You and your wife support helped me to lay a solid foundation that I am still building on to date. Big Daddy, my heart is heavy , which keeps me awake at night since your sudden passing to reflect on all you were and the legacy you left bihind. Most time I visited Canada, I watched your affection and love for my aunt. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to others to have a better future . Your values are worth emulating in hardworking, courage , dedication, and humility, and you were indeed a good, good man to all of us. May the Lord comfort your wife , children ,grandchildren, and the entire family of Atogwe to bear this loss. Big Daddy continues to rest in the presence of God. Thank you for setting an example for us on how to carry a community along.

In the heart's embrace, a tale unfolds,
Of an uncle cherished, in memories, he holds.
Unique and rare, a soul so kind,
In every gesture, love entwined.
A father to the clan, his care widespread,
Guiding hands, where love was led.
Now, in the realms where memories soar,
His warmth lingers, forevermore.
Gone from sight, but not from heart,
A legacy of love, a work of art.
In every smile, in laughter's ring,
His spirit dances, eternal spring.
Fond farewells, a tear-stained kiss,
Yet, in our hearts, his presence is.
A guardian of joy, in the tapestry of time,
Your uncle's love, an enduring rhyme.

Big Daddy, your demise was sudden and shocking to us. Who are we to question God? We love you but God loves you more.
If tears could bring back the dead, I'd cry an ocean for you Big Daddy. All I can do now is to pray for your soul.
May God grant your soul eternal rest in His abode and may He grant us all the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss, Amen.
Rest on Big Daddy, till we meet to part no more.

Atogwe Aigbomodi, a name that resonates with strength, resilience, and inspiration. Today, we gather to pay tribute to a remarkable individual who has left an indelible mark on our lives. Atogwe, you have shown us what it truly means to overcome challenges with unwavering determination and grace.
From the very beginning, you stood out as someone with an unwavering passion for excellence. Your commitment to continuous growth and self-improvement has set you apart as a shining example for us all. You have taught us that success is not merely measured by achievements, but by the character and integrity with which we pursue our goals.
Your journey has been filled with countless obstacles, yet you have faced each one with unwavering courage and an unyielding spirit. You have shown us that setbacks are not roadblocks, but rather opportunities for growth and learning. Your resilience has inspired us to push beyond our own limitations, to embrace challenges, and to never settle for anything less than our best.
But it is not just your accomplishments that have made you an inspiration. It is your unwavering belief in the power of kindness, compassion, and empathy. You have always been a pillar of support for those around you, offering a helping hand and a listening ear. Your ability to uplift others, even in the face of your own struggles, is a testament to your extraordinary character.
Atogwe, your journey has not been easy, but you have faced it with unwavering determination and an unshakeable belief in your own potential. You have shown us that with hard work, perseverance, and a positive mindset, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way.
Today, we honor you not only for your achievements but for the person you are. Your strength, resilience, and unwavering spirit serve as a reminder to us all that greatness lies within each of us, waiting to be unleashed.
Atogwe Aigbomodi, you have touched our lives in ways words cannot fully express. Thank you for being a beacon of inspiration and for reminding us that no dream is too big and no challenge too insurmountable. May your journey continue to inspire and uplift all those who have the privilege of crossing paths with you.
Comr. (Amb). Ozimede Izuagbe Peter.

AIGBOMOIDI F. JOHN ATOGWE -You Live on! Even as you pass on to eternity
It is with heavy heart that I write to bid my brother Aigbomoidi F John Atogwe goodbye. The scion of the Atogwe dynasty not merely by birth but even more by leadership. He is the first fruit of the Atogwe family tree of nine. I happen to be the last of that tree as such, I have had the privilege of witnessing a remarkable chunk of his productive years of leading the family through many phases.
Aigbomoidi or Ikhumi, as he was proudly called by my mother, left the shores of Nigeria in 1974 on a pilgrimage that will define his life for another forty-nine years. Coincidentally, I was yet unborn but he was gracious enough to prepare and provide for my arrival. His passing while a colossal loss not just to his immediate family, the Atogwe clan, my town, the Nigerian community in Canada, Nigeria as a whole, but also the generation he represents. Again, am unable to ask the plethora of questions am riddled with as to why now? But the spirit of our Lord Jesus to whom he lived his life and has returned to is asking me why not now. And then, it resonated again that God is purposeful and deliberate in all he does. While we may be feeling the void and indescribable loss his departure threw up, our Lord Jesus is happy to receive a saint.
Aigbomoidi was indefatigable all through his life’s Journey, from the very onset, he had clear goals right from his formative years, being part of the ‘ordinary was not his DNA, he saw beyond just getting by, he had clear aspirations, yet not ambitious, wholly due to his humanistic proclivity. He is one who will always confront the man in the mirror for every decision he makes, his approach was never I but us! Even though he left the shores of Nigeria in early seventies, the 10,000 kilometers never deter him from getting in touch with home. He was not one to abandon ship because he was offered a rope from an aircraft!
I recall with enduring nostalgia how the family used to congregate in the fire-side to read his letters whenever they arrive with much fanfare and glee. He was the light on the bushel giving light to all in the room and he did. In retrospect, I can understand clearly why his initial dream was to become a medical doctor, he was created as a bishop to dole out love and care, care from the heart, ever ready to give comfort even to his personal discomfort. The moniker ‘He came, saw and conquered’ does not fit him so well for the simple fact that it is used all too many for even those who shouldn’t or do not merit it. In the world populated by the herd that are defined by anything but noble, Aigbomoidi was firmly committed to the morals he was raised by to the very end and rightly so. He lived the principles with which he was raised, never swayed by the ferocious wind of herd mentality nor political correctness.
An engineer par excellence, the meticulous way he handled everything he invested his time and energy radiates his initial love of medicine and passion to care for sick, needy and the broken. He was a man of peace, a stark enemy of conflict and violence. For anyone who wanted to take a pound of flesh in a conflict, you will do well not to make him a judge as he was more interested in making peace than award rights or wrong, in other words, the love for humanity, peace and forgiveness were far more important than digging deep to see who was right on one hand, who deserves punishment on the other. This does not in any way mean he was inconsiderate and not firm or unwilling to apply the big stick if he has to. He was just more anti-strife!
A family man who had difficulty placing a distinction between his biological children and his sociological children in the African strict sense of it. Again, he was the man for the right position as the scion of the Atogwe dynasty. For every time he visited his ancestral home, there was always a mammoth of crowd around him from the entire Atogwe clan, Iyikhor kindred down to the entire town! He would virtually give all of him away in everyway he can. Born as a Nigerian of Edo ethnic extraction, western by geography/domiciliation and education but remained a Nigerian, an African in a sense, you will be correct to say that he morphed into a unique one in some sort, loved the western education and civilization but remained deeply committed to the African culture and way of life. He blended, in a particularly unique way, the Agbada and suit heritage to connect with all irrespective of race, religion, culture and gender.
As we bid him farewell, the question that remained unanswered, albeit rhetorical is, do they still make men like him? One whose enduring commitment to peace in the world is unmatched, who lived more for others than himself, who never weighed the value of things, ideas, issues solely on the scale of naira and kobo or dollar and cents! Who will happily lose than dishonestly win just to satisfy the obsession of winning irrespective! Do heavens still make more like him? Men who will not approach any endeavor for the share goal of simply advancing self! His pilgrimage to North America was not solely for search for greener pastures, far from it, it was to see more of the world so that those coming after him will go even farther.
For his children; OMUWA, IMHOKHAI, OSHOAKPEMEH & OSHOMOGHO and then his best friend and wife Babiana, you should be immeasurably proud of who this giant patriarch was and will forever remain indelible. The essence of life is not so much rooted in the longevity of life but more of the impact that life has on others. If you are looking for a reason why God created humanity by planting us in a family, the answer can easily be found in how Agbomoidi lived and how many lives he impacted. His life’s pilgrimage clearly shows we live more by living for, and in others!
As I was reflecting on our association when I first got the sad news of his passing and overwhelmed with tears which inevitably, had to flow freely, I was offered some words and arm of comfort, I was told to cheer up for the good life he lived, rightly so but then again, I was worried that the world has lost one good one and the void left may be filled with a wrong one in this world that has been bedeviled by evil, strife and violence. And then I realize again that his creator who is the one who watches over Isreal is still on the throne, for he created the void by taking away his own and will fill it with another good one to the astonishment of the evil one who never prevailed over Big DADDY as he was fondly called by the Atogwe clan.
Your sun sets here but your memory lives on indelibly!

Tribute to a Gentleman to the Core
I am privileged to say a few parting words about Mr. Aigbomoidi Fidelis John Atogwe. My earliest memory of him dated back to the early 70s in Nigeria when his younger brother, Late Barrister Ogie John Atogwe, my school mate would brag about his elder brother residing in Canada.
On August 6, 2005, I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Atogwe for the first time during his daughter’s wedding in Windsor, Ontario Canada. Ever since then, my relationship with him and his family has been warm and cordial.
Sometimes, it is difficult to find suitable words to describe a moment of grief but if this is the last time I am privilege to say goodbye to Mr. Atogwe, then I know I will do so with the knowledge that I am blessed to have known him.
Mr. Atogwe was a very pleasant, gentle, and caring person. He was a good husband, father, uncle, brother, cousin, and a friend to many. His cheerfulness, calmness, and friendly nature will always be remembered. He was not only an amiable and positive person to be around with, his agreeable characteristics in combination with his compromising dispositions were infectious and distinctively of great delight.
Mr. Atogwe was more than a relative; he was a guiding light, a source of inspiration, and a pillar of strength for all who were fortunate enough to know him. His presence brought warmth, his laughter was infectious, and his wisdom left an indelible mark on the lives of those that crossed his path. He approached life with a sense of adventure and curiosity that was truly transmittable.
As we bid farewell to Mr. Atogwe, let us not dwell on the sadness of his departure but instead focus on the legacy he left behind. He left us with a treasure trove of memories, a reservoir of love, and a blueprint for living a life filled with compassion, adventure, and joy. May we carry forward the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the spirit of adventure that defined him. Though he may no longer be with us in body, his influence will continue to shape our lives, and his memory will live on in the stories we share and the love we carry in our hearts.
We will surely miss you Eramha Aigbomoidi, you meant so much to all of us and every day of our lives your love we will never forget. Your hilarity will echo in our memories, your love will guide us, and your spirit will live on in the lives you touched.
It hurts to know you are gone forever, yet we are grateful to God for your life and bade you farewell until we meet to part no more. Rest in peace.

A tribute to my dear late brother, Mr Aigbomoidi Fidelis Atogwe (24/12/1948 to 16/11/ 2023)
By Mr Irekhegbe John Atogwe.
Late Mr Aigbomoidi Fidelis Atogwe (Big Brother as I fondly called him) was a very dear brother, friend and a great helper send by God to wipe away poverty from Atogwe's family. As the first born of a family of eight boys and one lady, he was the pillar of the family ensuring that we were all educated from secondary School to higher institution. He was always there for everyone as he believed that although charity begins at home but does not end at home. Christmas was always a celebration to look forward to as he always sends money and gifts to us when he wasn’t visiting. Anytime he visits home was always a time for family reunion and blissful celebration all the way.
His generosity continued even when we all got married, he assisted anyone that needed help towards training our children. We were all proud to tell our friends and well-wishers that we have a brother in Canada.
My late brother touched many lives in Ayogwiri community in a very positive way. He was a man who sacrificed his personal comfort to satisfy others. He was a community builder.
At a later point in his life, he became very religious, posting daily scriptures and prayers on Facebook and I became very fond of it and making it a point of daily duty to respond to them until I took some time off Facebook after my last birthday due to addiction to Facebook. Sometimes in November, I resumed following him again in the daily prayers on Facebook. Jokingly during one of our discussions, I said Bros you are becoming an Evangelist and we laughed about it.
On Thursday 9th and Saturday 11th of November before his death, he called me on video chat and we discussed at length and unknown to me, that would be my last discussion with him. He actually showed me a sign that he was leaving us when on Tuesday 14th of November shortly before he left when a big swam of bees came and settled on one of the orange trees in my compound in Abuja, Nigeria and remained there until about 6.00pm in the evening when they left. I was worried about the sign but it never crossed my imagination that it will be him having spoke with him just 3 days earlier. I was shocked beyond words when I received a call from my junior brother in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria that our dear eldest brother has passed on. I was really devastated but I’m consoled with the fact that my late brother lived a fulfilled and enviable good life with positive impact in community and people’s lives.
Please, I wish to request that you all join me in your daily prayers to God to grant the soul of my dear late brother seamless transition to heaven. May God grant his soul eternal rest Amen. May God also grant us all the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss, Amen.
Goodnight my beloved brother until we meet again to part no more.

TRIBUTE TO MY LATE UNCLE AIGBOMOIDI FIDELIS JOHN ATOGWE
It is with heavy hearts that I bid farewell to a remarkable soul, my dear uncle, Aigbomoidi Fidelis John Atogwe Fidelis who transcend to the beyond on the 16 November 2023. It leaves a void that can never be filed, but his legacy of love, laughter, and wisdom will forever reside in my heart.
Big daddy as we fondly call him was more than family; he was a guiding light, a source of strength and a wellspring of kindness His presence brought joy to every member of the family especially whenever is on vacation to his village (Ayogwiri) in Nigeria. His laughter echoed through our happiest moments whenever he is in the village and his wisdom provided solace in times of challenge.
In facts, my wife and I were discussing about him on the same date at about 2 pm Nigeria time not knowing he was about leaving this sinful world to be with the Lord.
His generosity knew no bonds and his compassion was a beacon of hope for those in need. Whether through a kind word, a helping hand or a contagious smile.
His greatest gifts were the ability to bring people together.
May your soul continue to rest in peace Amen?
Your Nephew

TRIBUTE TO BIG DADDY!
Aigbomoidi Fidelis John Atogwe is the first of nine (9) siblings while I am far behind him at the 7th position!
Being the first, means he was number one, not just in the line of siblings, but in everything else:
In Love
In Compassion
In Consideration
In caring
In responsibility
In achievement
In fulfilments and so forth.
He treated all his siblings with love, respect, fairness and consideration.
He bore the responsibility to ensure that, as the first, he would become an example to his younger ones, worthy of emulation! He fulfilled this responsibility in an exemplary manner!
As the first, it also fell on his shoulders to ensure that he built solid foundations for the lives of his siblings through good education. This responsibility he also fulfilled remarkably well!
His show of consideration in decision making also led him to leave the shores of our country, Nigeria, to Canada. He reasoned and rightly so, that this movement will put him in a better position to fulfill his responsibilities, which, as the first, he had to bear. However, the separation through distance, was not as tangible as one would have thought. Despite the lack of current technological developments then, he kept in constant touch through letter writing and was a part of our lives as much as those at home with us in Nigeria! In this endeavor to chart a good course for his younger ones, he was ably supported by his younger brother, Imone.
With the improvement in technological developments, he became even closer to us. His mode of communication with me and my family was always Video Calling! With this he was a part of our day-to-day lives, as much as we were a part of his! He never failed to call whenever his children and their families visited him, so that we can interact with them. This way, he sought to keep the families united!
I call him Big Daddy and sometimes I personalized it further by calling him My Big Daddy for he remains my Hero! Despite the age difference between us, he always treated me with respect and never forgot to tell me how proud of me he was! I know he love me and my family dearly! Just as he love all the others. This, he has shown in numerous ways that I cannot relate here! For me, the ‘love’ cannot and will not be stated in past tense, because I know that he lives on…! He has merely stepped out of the physical body in answer to the Call from Eternity, a Call that we all must answer one day!
He loves his parents and adore them immensely for the great values they bestowed on us, values that have seen us thrive to this day and will still see us into the future, for the values are timeless! For all the sacrifices they had to make to ensure we come out good! He always remarked, that we are blessed with remarkably great, cooperative and supportive wives, that have stood by each and every one of us through thick and thin! Same way as our father, John Atogwe was blessed with our mother, Ajoke John Atogwe! Just as he appreciated the values our parents bestowed upon us, so he valued their prayers for us all, which have seen fulfillment! Thus, he himself, never ceased to pray for and over us all, both his immediate and extended families!
When we had a video call on Tuesday, November 14th, 2023, he again reminded me what wonderful parents we had, the best parents that any child could ask for and that we couldn’t have asked for better parents! He pointedly noted that we should all strive to continue to pass on the values we got from our parents to our own children!
One remarkable thing about Big Daddy’s video calls, is that no matter the burden you had in your heart when you call him or when he calls you, the sheer vitality of the discussions and the laughter he evokes through his jokes and proverbs, will lighten your heart! The only time I ever felt sad in any call with him was on Sunday, November 12th, 2023 when he told me he was ill! For me, this was a first! I had never seen my Big Daddy being weighed down by anything and seeing him like that broke my heart! Even then, in his usual way, he didn’t want me to worry about him, but asked me to cheer up, knowing that unhappiness can be the precursor to ill health…! That is Big Daddy! Even on his sick bed, he still worried about me!
He was not Big Daddy to me alone, but was even more Big Daddy and Grandpa to my wife, children and grandchildren! He will ask after each and every one of them, whenever we are on video call, and sometimes, I will link my children in their different locations to the call, so they can see him and hear his words of wisdom!
My Big Daddy is not dead, not at all for he lives on! He has answered the inevitable Call of his Creator from Eternity! In order to answer this Call, he had to drop his physical body so that he can proceed onwards and upwards to the Luminous Heights of Joyful Activities and Eternal Development! The body is earthly and must be left here on earth! I dare say that he answered this Call joyfully, knowing that his legacies live on in his wife, children and their spouses, in his grandchildren; in his brothers and their families, in his only sister and her family; as well as in his in-laws and their families; also in his friends and their families, whose lives he impacted positively in one way or the other!
My fervent gratitude goes to the Almighty Father and Ruler of all the Worlds for permitting him to depart peacefully, for allowing him to step out of and be relieved of the pains of the failing earthly body! Immense gratitude I give Thee O Lord, for sparing my Big Daddy, the pains and trauma of a protracted illness!
Big Daddy lived vitally, in high spirits and in joyful affirmation of the Goodness of the Creator and His Holy Will! He believes in God and is even now experiencing the reality of the Goodness of God, which for many of us still in our earthly garments, seems far-fetched!
Big Daddy, fear not! For all your good deeds shall accompany you and smoothen your path as you journey on! Trust in the Lord and all the Helps He will permit you to be surrounded with!
Beseechingly, we raise our hands to the Lord that His Blessing, great Goodness and Mercy shall be upon my Big Daddy, Aigbomoidi Fidelis John Atogwe, on this Homeward journey to Paradise!
Big Daddy, as long as you focus on goodness, as you always did during your life on earth, your path shall be made rosy and sunny for you to walk on! Just as you made bright and sunny, all the lives you impacted on!
Our prayerful, loving and supporting thoughts shall accompany you on this journey!
For us, it is not ‘goodbye’! But ‘bye for now’ and ‘see you later’, for we know that, if we keep our steadfast loyalty to the Will of God, one day we shall be permitted to see you again in Paradise, where we shall all live for Eternity!
Journey well my Big Daddy! My Hero! The First among us! May your Path be Bright and Sunny! May you awaken to joyful activities in the Luminous Heights, where all is joy and bliss!
Amen and Amen!!
Your beloved brother
Goodluck Imhomoh Atogwe

He was the best uncle anyone could ever prayed for. He was super kind, compassionate, humble, and selfless. He was always there for anyone who reached out to him.
May God grant him eternal peace.
It was a privilege to have had him as my uncle.
Sleep well, Big Daddy!

There are no words to describe the loss of Aigbomoidi. Sending condolences to Babianna and the entire Atogwe family. I pray that God will comfort all of you as only He can.
For a while it was just the Atogwes, the Oshinowos and the Wusus representing Nigeria at Stanford Football in early 2000s. The bond continued from working together supporting our sons as members of Stanford Football Parents association into friendship afterwards. O’Sheg and I were at 3 of the Atogwe children’s weddings and Aigbomoidi and Babianna were at our children’s weddings. We are also brothers and sisters in-Christ. I personally will miss Aigbomoidi’s daily scripture and prayer posts on Facebook. He was also an active member of “The Comforter’s Room” group. He will be missed.
