Obe died in the UK on the 21st of March 2011, and was buried in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria on Thursday 5th of May at St Peter's Cathedral, Aremo.
For those who knew him, Femi was generous to a fault. Despite his rich background, (we all know about the ABC chemist chain in Ibadan), he was humble, unassuming, honest, reliable and most importantly, ever so helpful. He had the lifestyle most dreamt of on a platter, yet he was unaware of it. If he was, it did not affect him. These are attributes that drew a lot of people towards him.
Everyone would agree with me that his sense of humour was second to none. He was the kind of person that would make everyone laugh so hard that they’d end up crying.
Femis’s death was sudden, but he had indeed lived his life wonderfully. He also served the association very dilligently... time, effort, energy and financially. He was a practising, highly qualified, experienced Pharmacist, who gave advice freely to anyone who wanted it. He was well-loved and he had done so many things on earth and I’m sure he’ll do much more in heaven.
All the memories we have shared with him will forever be cherished and remembered. Obe will forever live in our hearts.
Femi is in heaven now and this is not the time for us to grieve his death but it’s our time to celebrate his life.
He will forever be missed but when the time's right, we will all meet Obe again and he’ll make us laugh in tears again.
