I still find it hard to believe that you’re actually gone. You were totally amazing, down to earth and approachable. I pray you’re in a better place. Your absence would be felt and you would be greatly missed.
Hello My friend, Mr Vic. My smile lookalike. I heard the news and a lot of I wish came up. Back in school, anytime you walked into ATU office you always came in with a big smile on your face which will always lit up the room. There were never dull moments around you and you made everyone smile or laugh even though there was no joke. I will miss you soo much but I know you are in a better place. Rest well my friend.
Victor… I’ve been in denial since I heard the horrible news.
I remember our very many conversations and our short stint working together on Iweanya Writes. Victor helped me discover my passion for writing and gave me one of my first writing opportunities. He was one of those people I was SURE would be successful. Always smiling. Always ready to help. Super smart. He had such a bright future and I’m sad we won’t get to see the full extent of what he was going to achieve.
I truly hope you’re in a better place.
So heartbreaking…but Victor lives on! Your smile, your energy and intelligence. Adeu my boss’s son, I really can’t believe this…but God bless. I am consoled that you are in a better place. For your parents and siblings you left behind, I leave them with the words of Revelations 21:4 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away”
It feels hypocritical to say I knew you, since I had only spent a little over 3 weeks at your place 10yrs ago, but learning about your death has been a huge shock for me. As humans we often forget that death can sneak up on us at any time and because of that I always postponed reaching out to your entire family and now you’re gone. Rest easy onyeka and I pray God gives your family peace and strength to handle your passing.
My heart grieves and anguish enveloped my soul since I heard the sad, sad news. Really, I’m not just still in shock; I’m benumbed. Here was a flower in full bloom, a tree reaching to the skies, a young man in true blood and spirit, a young man taking giant strides, a spirit bold and resilient preparing himself as though he would soon get to a sign that would read: “Here’s the world. Take it”. But even the world, as concrete as it is, is just ephemeral…just like ourselves. We come, we go. But you showed immense promise, and you had much to offer…but it all ended so soon. And our souls weep. You have left a deep scar in my heart…for in you I have lost a son, yes a son! Bye, formidable prince. May a flight of Angels sing you to your rest.
