My dear son, Alex Ikenna, my beloved Ike bobo, Ikukwuomam. The day I received the news of passing was the darkest day of my life. As a father, I never imagined that I would live to write a tribute to my own son. This is a pain that cuts deep, that cuts deep into the heart, a wound that words cannot heal. Ikenna, you were a precious gift from God. You brought joy, honor, and happiness to our family."

"Your smile lit up every room, your laughter brought comfort and joy, and your kind heart drew many people close to you. You were a son any father would be proud of, respectful, loving, cheerful, and compassionate. You carried yourself with dignity and treated everyone with kindness. Many knew you, many loved you, and many will continue to remember you. My dear son, Ikukuomam, your name speaks of strength, movement, and presence. Like the wind, you touched many lives."

Today, I remember not only your many achievements, but also your character."

"And I remember your generosity, especially towards me, your father, your warmth, and the love you freely shared with family and friends. These memories are treasured. Nwamam, Nwanyi, Nwanyi, God, you were a good son who feared and served God faithfully, a son whose life brought great honour and pride to his family."

"Your departure has left a void that can never be filled. As we commit your body to... As we commit your body to Mother Earth, we pray that your soul finds eternal rest in the bosom of Almighty God. May perpetual light shine upon you. You loved, you left footprints on our hearts that time can never erase. Until we meet again."
