"Elder, we know that you are God-sent. I know it is not these deaths that would discourage you from doing the work of God. Those of us close to you, who take words of solace from you when in sorrow, you are the one who even comforts us. We are happy; by your deeds, you have not discouraged us but rather given us hope.

Odi Ahenkan then turned his attention to the sons of Elder Frank Donkor who passed in the crash and bade them farewell.

"Paa Kwesi and Nana Yaw, may the Lord keep you. You fought a good battle, but the Lord shall always be God."

This was made evident after a video of him narrating a ‘scary’ experience he had flying with the late Captain Frank Donkor went viral.

In that video, Odi Ahenkan, who spoke during a family gathering that included Captain Donkor, his brother Elijah, and their father, Elder Donkor, talked about a time he went flying with the late pilot.
