Not sure what to say?

My condolences to your esteemed family. He was taken so young with so many accomplishments and dreams of more to come. Opi will be missed by the dreams yet not concluded.

Oh Obi, son of 'Ezike-Oba', we still struggle to accept that you have left this world. It feels so surreal. We will always remember your smile and your very kind heart. There can only be one place that a soul like yours can be - the bosom of our Lord. Our prayer is that your Dad, Mom and siblings will have the fortitude to bear the days that are hard. God bless you, Angel Obi.

I am so sorry for the painful loss of your son and brother. Had I known of his passing, I would have been with you to celebrate his brief but beautiful life. With prayers of gratitude to God for the gift of his life, and with thanksgiving for all the blessings he brought to me and many, many others. Obi's bright shining light will continue to bring light and joy to many. May he rest in Light, Peace, and Love, Sincerely & respectfully yours, Fr. Paul Milanowski

Dear Ezeh Family, My heart is breaking for all of you. I cheered Obi on in both football and rugby, but it was through rugby that I knew him best. The out of town tournaments I would chaperone, he was always laughing, friendly, ever respectful and kind. The best smile! I hope your memories of your sweet son and brother provide comfort.

Pius and Nkechy, I am so sorry for your loss. I have several fond memories of Obi. Hugs to you.

I will always remember Obi as a wonderful athlete and such a wonderful friend to my son, Andrew, from the years of playing rugby together at Catholic Central. God rest his soul and bring peace to everyone who loved him.

My son went to school with Obi and I remember watching him play football at CC. I am so very sorry for your loss and am keeping Obi, you and all of your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I would like to extend my condolences to the Ezeh Family. I only had the pleasure of interacting with Obi a few times at the barbershop. As the debates went on about who was going to win what, I remember him being a well spoken respectful young man. May Obi Rest In Heaven.
