Not sure what to say?

May the prayers of myself and family provide the much needed comfort and peace to his wife and family. 2 Cor. 1:3-5.
I was introduce to Dr Ononye, while working as an Emergency Room Physician in Waycross Ga. Our families became friends, and I learn of his desires to participate in soccer. And in fact, our children participate in sports at the YMCA.
I just learn of his demise today, April 23rd. May his wife be comforted in knowing that their is no suffering she is experiencing that...

My lasting memories of Chuma will be his infectious smile and happy personality, not to mention watching him trying to learn to swim! Even then he came up for air with a grin on his face! We shared many years together at St Joseph's College and he was a good friend to all who knew him. It is indeed a very sad loss, not least of all to his family who are in our thoughts and prayers. Wherever you are Chuma, may the sun always shine on your face, and the wind always be at your back, kiddo. God...

So sad to hear that Chuma has gone, so early in his life. I too, called him a good friend from St Joseph's in Scotland and had only recently got in touch via facebook to catch up on old times and to see how he had got on since school. I send my condolences to his family. RIP mate

Our deepest sympathies to his family. although only a junior at school Chumas presence, cheerful nature and sporting abilities at rugby, football and on the track always left us speechless. He was always approachable and always helpful.

I never saw Chuma again after leaving school - but I have great memories of him - Particularly during the infamous Hockey match against the Convent girls! My thoughts are with your family.
REMEMBERANCE:Loves Last Gift

How sad to hear about the passing of our old school friend. Chuma's compassion for others, passion for medicine even back then, and fantastic sense of humour carried him on to great things. And who could forget Chuma's skills on the soccer field, and those intensely competitive table tennis matches!? Chuma, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

You'll be missed. A big guy with a even bigger heart. My thoughts are with your family. Resurgam.
