The first picture shared on the TikTok page of @goro_man21 showed four young men at their handsome best on their matriculation day after being welcomed and recognised into the University of Ghana as Level 100 students.
The second photo showed only three of the four men alongside a beautifully framed picture of the fourth member, identified as Kelvin, who had sadly passed away.
The gesture was to honour the memory of their late friend, who could not be there on their big day as they graduated from the university.
The caption of the post paid a glowing tribute to the young man, emphasising that although they started school together, their desire to graduate together could not materialise.
"We started as four in Level 100. Life happened. Today we graduate as three. But in our hearts, it will always be four. Forever embraced by the sea. Forever in our hearts. AKNY. Rest well, AK," the caption read.
At the time of writing the report, the post had generated over 3,000 likes and 100 comments.
