Not sure what to say?

I'm shocked to hear that Funmi passed away. I really think the world is a colder and worse place without him in it. I didn't get to know him as well as I would have liked, but the short time I spent with him was awesome. I absolutely loved Funmi. He was one of the nicest, kindest, and most friendly people I ever met. We first met in Iraq when we worked together for just about a month, and he was a senior Major and I was a junior Captain. In a world that is usually very tough, and people are...

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Foomz. I worked with him and he was just a joy to be around, he was always upbeat and happy even in the most extremely stressful situations. He will definitely be missed and my thoughts and prayers go out to his wonderful family.

So sad to hear. His brother Ben was a great guy, and Foomz was as well. This will be rough for all who knew him...especially for his college classmates. Will miss that laugh of his.

Funmi was a very special guy who dearly loved his family, friends, and country. Fun to be with and so kind. My family and I send our deepest condolences to Alyssa, Emily and Isaiah whom he adored. With love and gratitude for having known him, Aunt Nancy Thomas.

I recently met Foomz here at work (NGA). He helped me learn a new business process (for me anyway) and was such a pleasure to call my new friend. The picture posted here on this site represents him well. He was knowledgeable, he had a positive attitude, and a joy that can only come from within. Blessings and honor go out to him and his family.

The world is less without Foomz. I had the privilege of working with Foomz at the Pentagon in SPD. He is one of the most positive, cheerful, and joyous people I have met. I truly enjoyed my time with him.

I met him when he was a major and I was a lieutenant. He was a great role model. I will miss him dearly. Semper Fi.

My heart is heavy with sadness after learning of Foomz's sudden passing. For all those who knew him, he was an exceptional human being and a devoted family man. He was the kind of Marine Officer that every Marine wanted in their corner. I will remember the good times we shared like this trip with the Adeyemi's to Disneyland in 2011. See you on the other side brother. Semper Fidelis and RIP.
