TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MENTOR - Uncle Scott
With a heart weighed down by sorrow and gratitude, I write this tribute in honour of a man who meant so much more to me than words can express – Architect Gbolahan Fowora. His passing is a profound loss personally, not just to those of us who had the honour of knowing him personally, but to the many lives he touched through his brilliance, humility, and unwavering kindness.
Architect Fowora was not just a mentor; he was a guiding light, a father figure, and a friend. In a world that often rushes past people, he saw me. He listened, he guided, and he poured into me the wisdom of experience and the gentleness of encouragement. He had a rare ability to correct with grace and to inspire without even trying.
What made him stand out was not just his professional excellence – and indeed, he was a master of his craft – but the warmth he carried in every interaction. He gave without asking. He taught without pride. He shared without holding back. Every conversation with him left me better, every moment spent in his presence left me grateful.
Am still in shock. I miss him deeply. I miss the quiet strength of his voice, the wisdom of his counsel, and the way he made every challenge seem like an opportunity. The world feels colder without his presence, but I carry with me the light he lit in my path. I will honour his memory by living out the values he stood for – integrity, excellence, humility, and love.
Thank you, sir, for believing in me. Thank you for the doors you opened, for the times you made room for me at the table, and for the silent seeds of greatness you planted in my life.
Rest well, Architect Gbolahan Fowora. Your legacy lives on in me and in the countless lives you quietly shaped. Sincere condolence to aunt funke and the boys.
You will never be forgotten.
With love,
Your grateful mentee

News of your passing came as a rude shock, and i kept wondering why death takes the best of us. Your loss has touched not just your family but also all of us who have had the privilege of knowing you. It is with heavy heart thay i offer my deepest condolence.
Arc. (Pst) Fowora gave me my first experience as pupil architect. During my time as industrial trainee at Gafowny, I witnessed firsthand the grace, wisdom, and discipline with which you approached both design, family and discipleship. You built more than structures, you equally built lives, including mine. Your faith and integrity remain a foundation I still draw from. I’m deeply grateful for the enduring mark you’ve left on my journey.
May the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, comfort you and your loved ones in this difficult time. Rest on Sir 🙏

Honoring a Life of Grace: Daddy, Architect (Pst.) G. Fowora
Some people earn titles not by demand, but by the quiet strength of their character, and that’s who Daddy was. We didn’t just call him Daddy because everyone else did. We called him Daddy because he truly was one; not just to his children, but to all who were fortunate enough to be part of his world.
He was a good man. Disciplined, yet gentle. Reserved, yet deeply present. He carried himself with a kind of grace that made you watch and learn even from how he walked, how he moved his hands with intention, with thoughtfulness.
As a Pastor, Daddy didn’t always preach from the pulpit his life was a sermon in itself. He ministered with wisdom, patience, and love. He listened, he guided, and he prayed often quietly, but always powerfully. His faith wasn’t loud; it was lived.
During my time at Vinecare Nursery & Primary School, I learned so much from him; through his words, yes, but even more through his actions. The way he loved and cared for Mummy (our beloved proprietress) was something beautiful to witness.
It was in the little things. The way he supported her, the respect he showed, the quiet partnership they shared. It was the kind of love that spoke volumes without needing to say much at all.
Daddy didn’t just build homes and structures as an architect - he built people, too. Friends became family in his presence. You felt safe around him. You felt seen. He taught by example, and even in silence, he inspired.
His passing still feels surreal. It’s hard to grasp that someone so solid, so constant, could be gone. But even as I come to terms with it, I hold on to the lessons he left behind: lessons of integrity, humility, faith, and presence.
Thank you, Daddy, for being all that you were and so much more. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy lives on in all of us who had the privilege to know you.
With love and respect,
Kelechi Erondu

It was shock to learn of the early departure to glory of Pastor Fowora, the founding Resident Pastor of Living Faith Church, Sunnyvale. I was privileged to serve God under his leadership during which I learnt in practical terms, delightsome and selfless service without waiting for payment from any entity on the earth.
Pastor Fowora teaches the Word of God with his architectural dexterity and evangelise with intelligence. Within few months, many residents of Sunnyvale estate who initially opposed the presence of Living Faith Church in the estate became committed members of the church through the peaceful and impactful approach.
Pastor Fowora also demonstrated that the love he had for his family can not be compromised. He refused to mortgage the future of his children to a blind loyalty.
Rest in perfect peace.

Tribute from the Foundation Elders of LFC Sunny Vale
Elders N. Asuquo · C. Omozuapo · S. Adefarakan
> “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” – Psalm 116:15
The news of the passing of Arc. Pastor Gbolahan Fowora into glory came as a profound shock to all of us at Winners Chapel. However, as we reflect on the divine assignment he so faithfully led in 2011, we find comfort in the impact of his life and ministry.
In February 2011, God divinely directed Pastor Fowora to lead a group of committed Winners to plant a new church at Sunny Vale Estate, Abuja. Little did we know then that he was laying a foundation for what would become a thriving spiritual movement in the area.
He served as the pioneer Resident Pastor of LFC Sunny Vale, and by God’s grace and divine inspiration, he exceeded all expectations. Under his leadership, the church was fully established—growing in membership, structure, and spiritual depth. Pastor Fowora’s ministry was marked by powerful, Spirit-led messages that blessed and inspired many, fueling the rapid growth of the church.
By the time a substantive Resident Pastor was posted, LFC Sunny Vale had already become a vibrant and well-established congregation. Because of the strong foundation he laid, the church quickly outgrew its facility. By 2013, God had multiplied the church beyond the capacity of the Sunny Vale estate.
In early 2014, approval was granted for the construction of a larger worship center just a few kilometers away. This new location has since become what is now known as LFC Lokogoma—a lasting testimony to Pastor Fowora’s obedience, vision, and labor of love in God’s vineyard.
Pastor (Arc.) Gbolahan Fowora was loved by all who encountered his ministry and leadership. Though his absence is deeply felt, his good works live on. His legacy of faith, service, and impact will continue to bless the Body of Christ for generations to come.
> May the Almighty God grant him eternal rest,
and may the Holy Spirit—the greatest Comforter—
bring peace and strength to his beloved family.
Amen.

I will miss Arc.(Pst) Fowora in so many ways. He mentored me in Solar business where I discovered a goldmine. My eyes opened in possibilities of investing in Real Estate offshore. His invaluable insights and youthful camaraderie is unique. You emptied yourself to me and many others. Rest well in our Lord's bosom, sir.

My Daddy, mentor and pastor. I can't believe its true. I waited for your usual devotional message, but didn't see it. Checked again and again and saw the last time it was sent, 2:56 AM. Early hours Saturday morning. I asked myself if you were airborne to another country, that was why I didn't see Sunday and Mondays devotion until I received the worst call ever apart from that of my parents demise. Yours hit me HARD!! This pain is too much to bear. You helped me grow. And made me the woman i am today. Daddy, your Afunu is confused now, keep praying down on me as always. I remember the first day I saw you in winners chapel durum, I sat on same role with you facing the altar, the spirit told me, follow him, you will meet him later in life. He will be your guide. I put it aside, until I joined crowd control unit and you became our pastor,. You taught me how to solve every challenge in my life through books. Meditation bookstore became my library. You helped me in accepting the right husband, whom I am enjoying my marriage today because God used you to teach me how to enjoy marriage. My home was built because you ensured we had the right tools.
Daddy, your AFUNU, as you always call me is sad. Please continue to pray for me. I am refusing to let you go. Mummy Funke, only God can strengthen you and your soldiers. It is well.
REST ON MY MENTOR.

Daddy and Mummy Fowora were members of the Young Adult Sunday school class of First Baptist Church Garki and I may never understand why they chose to fellowship with young adults. However, there was always a well-rounded perspective to daddy's contributions in the class. Apt. Deep. Bible-based.
Sir, though we only fellowshipped together for a short time, your impactful words have filled us with so much hope and this we are grateful for.
Daddy Fowora, without a doubt, would be sorely missed.

Oh Daddy this is painful to write. You become my father after the death of my biological Father. Faithful Faith! As you fondly call me.
It hurts so deeply...like how? Thank you for being an awesome Father, Mentor and Marriage Counsellor. Your legacy lives on in me.
Where do I start from? Is it how you helped my widow mum? Is it my spiritual life? Is it in my marriage? Is it in my personal development? The list is unending...you have impacted me greatly and I will pay it forward.
Just last week my husband and I were telling the kids the Father role you played in my life when we planning to get married. The personal investigation you made before giving the green light. We explained our culture and traditions to the kids. Not knowing you had gone too soon.
Our Daddy this hurts so deeply that I don't get to see you again on earth. Oh Daddy! You have finished your race!
Thank you for teaching us.
Thank you for raising many Generals around the world.
Thank you for showing us what it means to be a true leader.
Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
Thank you for being an awesome Father and Mentor.
I pray that the Holy Spirit comfort your mom, your wife, Ayo, Dami, Emmanuel, your brothers, sisters and everyone you have impacted.
Your legacy will continue to live on Daddy!
Continue to rest in Peace!
It hurts so deeply...like how? Thank you for being an awesome Father, Mentor and Marriage Counsellor. Your legacy lives on in me.

In Loving Memory of Pst Fowora.
Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts that never fade.
Pst Fowora was one of those rare souls—a client and a friend who felt more like family, a light that made every moment brighter.
Can't believe that you are gone.
Rest easy, my dear client and friend.
Thank you for the gift of you.

Gbolahan … Gbolahan. I didn’t know that when I saw you at Mumsie’s birthday celebration that would be the last time I would see you! It’s in writing this that I am coming to terms with the fact that you are really gone from this earth, but present with the Lord.
Our ways are not the Almighty Father’s ways and He is in control.
Gbolahan had a beautiful spirit, always willing to help. He was also very wise - evidence is in his life partner - Funke, the best complement for him. He was firmly rooted in his faith, with a strong sense of self and of responsibility evident in all he did.
As Psalm 23:4 says - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil. Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
I pray for the peace that passes all understanding for his family, friends and others he left behind.
Rest in Peace, Rest In Peace.

Not Scott, no, not Scott. He was warm with a hearty chuckle. Not once, since I met him in 1990, in Julius Berger, Abuja, have I seen him angry. Always with a smile regardless.
A consummate professional with this particular eye for details, he started out being entrepreneurial, as he doled out silhouettes for tokens. Totally innovative, he crafted a means of doing this using a camera and stuff. He was more an innovative young professional than a visual artist.
Scott was an avid chaser of the kingdom of GOD, he loved GOD in his own way. We worshipped in the same church for a season before he moved on. Before he left however, he was already firmly entrenched in leadership.
Clearly, life is short. To think that he was in the house alongside Funke, his lovely wife, only weeks ago to commiserate with me on the passing of my wife?
Now, more than ever, we all must live ready. That you may find a good rest in the LORD.
Our GOD is!

I still find it difficult to believe that you've passed on to glory. You took my wife and I like your siblings and open up your house for us to stay whenever we were in Abuja. You were am epitome of a Christian, simple, humble and kind. Thank God for the life you lived and the testimonies that abound. Good night sir until we meet on the resurrection morning

TRIBUTE TO MY BROTHER, FRIEND AND CONFIDANT
It was with great shock that my wife and I received news of the passing to glory of my beloved brother, ARC. GBOLAHAN ADENIYI FOWORA (FNIA), fondly called “SCOT”.
It is difficult to describe a beloved brother that I have shared forty four years of my life with and crossed many life hurdles together in the past tense.
At times like this words fail to convey the depth of our feelings about a departed beloved personality. The changing seasons of life inadvertently bring with them storms that we have to pass through such as the passing of my beloved brother and soul mate. Scote, as I preferred to call him, was a man of great faith, courage and divinely endowed with a great measure of wisdom and understanding. He was hardly flustered by any circumstance, however ugly it may be, but had an insight to resolve even perplexing set of affairs.
Our paths crossed in 1981as budding young men figuring out how best to succeed in our endeavors. Scote was inspirational and a hugely impactful creation of the Almighty. We had our fair share of the rascality of youths of the early 80s but Scote was purposeful and knew boundaries he must not cross. He had already set his sight on Godliness at that time and kept advising us against behavior that could negatively impact our future prospects.
My brother was a consummate gentleman, brilliant professional, hugely successful family man and a teacher of the Word. He was indeed a leader of men. His fortitude and love in the face of difficult circumstances has inspired me for more than four decades of our relationship. He was not just a brother, friend and confidant, he was a true hero who radiated positive energy till the last day. In our several discussions, he emphasized the noble virtues of love, forgiveness, sincerity, family unity and the love of God. In his human interaction, he practiced that golden rule: Do unto others as you want them do to you.
Funke, Ayo, Damola, Emmanuel and the larger Fowora Family, please take heart and accept the will of the Almighty. My brother has completed his course and his Maker has called him for a higher assignment.
An extraordinary soul and a soldier of Christ has just changed address and now fellowship with the Saints triumphant, walking upon streets of gold, enjoying eternal joy and victory over sin and death.
Teach us o Lord to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom to appreciate the purpose for every day that you gift unto us.
Rest in peace my beloved brother, friend and confidant. We shall meet again at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ on the resurrection day.

A GALLANT SOLDIER OF CHRIST ARC (PST) GBOLAHAN ADENIYI FOWORA (FNIA, AIA) FELL ASLEEP.
The night was long and quiet; yea, it was pregnant, waiting to be birthed, the atmosphere holds inert, the wind stock-still, and the breeze gentle, sweet, and cool all together. Oh, hear the song of redemption in the air, redemption of a victorious soldier of Christ, waiting for withdrawal from the battlefront. The harvesters have arrived, bright, shining, and rejoicing they came, decked in white apparel, with songs of victory on their lips, heralding the victory of a gallant soldier. Oh! the gallant soldier fell asleep.
The day broke like the pearl that broke its shell. The cock crowed to signal the gift of a new day, the birds compete in their sonorous melody, and a call from my friend and brother Patrick Esene jingled, "what is this i am hearing about our brother Scott?" The news frightened my fragile mind; could it be true? I am dreaming and needed to be woken from it?
My heart broke! The news finally broke!
My friend of over three decades slept into God's bosom.
Scott it's unbelievable! Gbolahan, this is painful!
I am still in shock because you wanted to see me in my office a few days earlier, but I was at Ibadan.
I called you on my return, Friday 04/07/25 but you told me you too were in Lagos and that you will see me on Monday on your return.
Monday came, and this frightening and devastating news filled the air.
Oh, what a life this is! Life indeed is transient!
What an amazing, loving, and caring friend you were!
An amiable and unassuming brother,
A lover of God who not only designs earthly mansions but also leads human souls back to God.
Intelligent and discreet you were, full of wisdom and very disciplined.
You were very hardworking, very thorough, and very organized.
A detail Architectural professional per excellence. An Architect of space management.
An elegant fashionista, very intentional about the attire you wear.
You have fought a good fight of faith, you have finished your race, and you have kept the Faith. You have joined the saint triumphant, where there is laid up for you the crown of righteousness.
You slept peacefully in the Lord. The sleep of the beloved.
Our Love and prayers to your sweetheart FUNKE, Ayo, Damola, and Emmanuel. Please be strong in the Lord; you will find comfort and grace to abide still.
Our prayers are with grandma, may she find eternal comfort that only the Holy Spirit can give.
Our Love and prayers are to your siblings Kike, Tunde ET AL and the entire family; may the Lord encourage you all at this time. Please be comforted by the Holy Spirit.
ADIEU Scott, ADIEU Arc. (Pst) Gbolahan Adeniyi FOWORA.

Big Brother!
This hurt so badly like a dagger in my heart. Your birthday was just celebrated, I saw you early this year when you said to me "anyone that calls you Bimbo small again should be sued".
Your kindness, your sweetness, your embrace, your guidance, your unspoken words that are expressed through genuine love, your humility, your subtle sense of humor, your presence even from miles away felt in the heart, your calmness and your intelligence will surely be missed. A true big brother, surely, I will miss you.
Rest on!
Another heaven's gain!!

It is with a heart heavy beyond words that I write this tribute—one I never imagined I would pen so soon. Barely four months ago, we gathered in joy, laughter and deep gratitude to celebrate Architect Pastor Gbọ́láhàn Adéníyì Fowórà at 60—a life full of grace, achievement and purpose. Today, we find ourselves not at a celebration of age, but at the solemn remembrance of a life that, though brief in years, was profound in impact.
Gbọ́láhàn was not just a man; he was a blueprint—divinely drafted, intentionally lived and generously shared. As an architect, he shaped structures that will stand for decades. But more importantly, as a pastor, husband, father, mentor, counselor and friend, he shaped lives that will echo his influence for generations.
He was a rare soul who could wear a hard hat at dawn and a clerical collar by dusk—designing duplexes in the city by day and restoring broken spirits by night. With a pencil or laptop, he could draw your dream home; with a scripture, he could restore your weary heart. In his presence, one encountered wisdom that was quiet, humour that was warm and faith that was firm but never overbearing.
His was a life built on three cornerstones—faith in God, family and excellence. Whether in business, on the drawing board or behind the pulpit, Gbọ́láhàn was a man of principle, of quiet strength and unwavering integrity. He did not seek the spotlight, yet his light always shone. His words were measured, but his actions thundered. And his humility was only rivalled by the sheer depth of his compassion.
As I stood beside him at his 60th birthday party at Cilantro Restaurant in Maitama, Abuja, not just as an MC, but as a brother and admirer speaking words of honour, humour, laughter and legacy—I recall saying, “This man doesn’t just build houses, he builds lives.” I never knew how quickly those words would become a eulogy. But they remain just as true—perhaps even more so now.
We grieve today not as those without hope, for Arc Pastor Gbọ́láhàn’s faith was anchored in Christ. He believed in eternal life—and now he walks in it, seeing the Master Architect face to face. What a glorious homecoming it must have been!
To his beloved wife, his children, his church family, all of us his friends and the countless souls he touched—you have not lost him. You carry his legacy every time you love like he did, serve like he did, build like he did and believe like he did.
And to you, my dear brother and friend, I say:
Rest well, Architect of lives.
Rest well, Shepherd of souls.
Rest well, Gbọ́láhàn —whose design on earth is complete and whose reward in heaven is sure.
You have fought the good fight.
You have finished your course.
You have kept the faith.
Heaven has gained a master builder.

You were a good man!!! That is all I have been able to say about you since I heard of your passing.
I struggled to write this tribute for two reasons:
1. It would mean me acknowledging that you are no longer with us physically, which I still find hard to believe
2. I can't bear to write about you in past tense.
So, forgive me if my words are not coherent.
'Daddy' as I fondly called you. You were a mentor and father par excellence. A man of great wisdom, deep discernment, and generous love. You freely gave of your time, material and financial resources, counsel, and emotional support without expecting anything in return.
Your love for God was unquestionable, your dedication to family heavily palpable.
Your calm, quiet and strategic approach to everything, and your peaceful easygoing way of addressing issues made you my go-to person for counsel on anything and everything. And you always came through with wisdom that calmed even the stormiest of waters.
I could call you anytime, any hour, any day, and you would pick up the phone as if I was on your speed dial.
You did not just mentor me, you fathered me. You introduced me to everyone as your daughter and supported me in and through everything. Mummy became my mummy and Ayo, Damola and Emmanuel my siblings! You became a household name in my family - my mum, siblings, children, and even friends all knew that there was someone called Daddy Fowora who I was accountable to. And you never hesitated to extend your love, counsel and help to them when they needed it. Ha Daddy! Why did you have to leave so soon? Why?!!
Although I mourn your passing today, I will forever honor your legacy of love, humility, kindness, gentleness, and exuberant joy. You embodied Christlikeness in a unique but deeply inspiring way.
There are not enough words, Daddy, not enough words for this tribute.
But know that you were loved, and your memory will always be loved.
Rest in the bosom of your Father, Daddy, assured that we will take care of mummy and the boys.
You will always be remembered fondly, for YOU WERE A GOOD MAN!

With heartfelt sorrow, we extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Arc. Gbolahan Fowora (Scott), Int’l Assoc. AIA, FNIA.
Arc. Gbolahan Fowora was not only a pillar of the architectural profession but also a man of deep spiritual commitment. As the founding pastor of Winners Chapel Sunnyvale Estate, an outreach that later gave rise to the thriving Lokogoma church in Abuja, he played a pivotal role in planting and nurturing a vibrant congregation within the Living Faith Church network under the leadership of Bishop David Oyedepo.
Through this ministry, he demonstrated not only spiritual leadership but a heart of service, compassion, and community-building. His faith journey was marked by humility, vision, and a tireless commitment to uplifting others within the church and beyond
His dedication extended beyond the pulpit. Through the NIAABC Students Mentorship Programme, Arc. Fowora guided and inspired the next generation of architects, generously sharing his wisdom, passion, and belief in their potential. His mentorship fostered both personal and professional growth among young designers.
Arc. Fowora's life bridged faith and architecture, service and stewardship. His integrity, warmth, and vision left an indelible impact on everyone he encountered. As we mourn his loss, we also honor his legacy of servant leadership, compassion, and excellence.
To his family, friends, congregation, and mentees: may you find comfort in the depth of his life’s work and the lives he enriched. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Rest well, our dear elder, colleague, and mentor.

To our dear brother, uncle and friend,
I write with a very heavy heart as I am still in shock at the news of your departure to be with your maker. While we are all sorrowful and full of sadness, we are comforted by the scripture that says: “And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope” (1Thess.4:13). We are yet reminded of the greatness of the impact your life had on so many across the globe. Yours was a life full of love, service and sacrifice – you thought us all how to love, give and share whatever you have with all who you could touch. You were an exemplary husband and father; a mentor for many and a true Ambassador of Christ. I and my family were honoured to have known you and been a part of your journey while you were on earth. While we will miss you, we know that God knows best, and He has a reason for calling you back home at this time. We cannot question God, so we pray that the Almighty will continue to comfort and give the much-needed grace and strength to all the family at this timed and always. May He watch over all that you have left behind and keep them under His protective cover in Jessus name.
Adieu Architect Gbolahan Adeniyi Fowora…

We are yet reminded of the greatness of the impact your life had on so many across the globe. Yours was a life full of love, service and sacrifice – you thought us all how to love, give and share whatever you have with all who you could touch. You were an exemplary husband and father; a mentor for many and a true Ambassador of Christ. I and my family were honoured to have known you and been a part of your journey while you were on earth. While we will miss you, we know that God knows best, and He has a reason for calling you back home at this time. We cannot question God, so we pray that the Almighty will continue to comfort and give the much-needed grace and strength to all the family at this timed and always. May He watch over all that you have left behind and keep them under His protective cover in Jessus name.

Bodami Gbolahan!
This hurts really bad.
Our hearts are broken into shattered pieces beyond words. You were always cool, calm, and collected big bro-consistently showing grace, charm, and a quiet strength.
You inspired me. You daily led by example through your scriptures and devotion
Through the tears and pain, we will continue to glorify God for the beautiful life you lived and the impact you made.
Your memory will forever be etched in our hearts. Tola, Toni and Ayo, your ‘celebrities’ as you fondly call them will surely miss you.
Rest on bodami Gbolahan.
Rest on Mr Scot.

My dearest Baba Oko, AKA Daddy Ayo, it was not meant to end like this! Your exit was so sudden and it still feels surreal.
You were a man of quiet strength, deep wisdom, and a generous spirit—a true reflection of God’s love here on earth.
Though your time on earth was far too short, we trust that you now rest in eternal peace and presence of the Lord.
Thank you for being my amazing brother-in-law.
May God wrap each of us in His comfort during this season of mourning, and may we find strength in the promise that we will one day be reunited.
Till we meet at the feet of Jesus, goodnight sir, God’s faithful General.
May your soul rest in eternal peace.🙏🏾

Death, A Certainty We Must All Embrace One Day! Even Though, Our Appointments With Death Is NEVER Known, But Leaving With Loved Ones Reeling In The Pain Of Our Embrace With Death!
Kai, I Was So Dumbstruck When Charles Umeh Called To Tell Me Of Your Death and It Hit Me So Hard That I Became Sick A Day After and Couldn’t Leave My Room For Two Days! What A Loss To Us, But A Gain To God!
Your Excellency (as fondly called you), What Can I Say But To Say Thank God; As We Are Enjoined To Give Thanks For All Things (e no easy to say thank God o!); Thank God For The Fruitful and Purposeful Life You Lived, The Love You Shared and All The Positive Impacts You Had On Us All!
May You Beautiful Soul Rest In Peace 🪦, Even As We Are All Comforted With The Words In Revelation 14v13, Adieu!

Dearest Uncle Scott, thank you for being one of the dearest friends my Dad could have had. Since childhood I could identify your bond of 40+ years. This is the week we should have began a 60th celebration abroad, with you there specially having turned 60 in March! You may be gone but never will I forget the kindness you have shown to my family. Thank you for bridging the gap where friends and family intersect. This loss cuts deep and the timing appearing so unfair but I pray for strength for all your loved ones and that you have the sweetest of rests. Thank you sincerely Sir, sleep well ❤️

Hmmm!
Adieu dear Alagba, Pastor Arch Gbolahan A. Fowora.
Thank God for your life.
Your departure is sudden and difficult to dissect.
The more I thought about you , the more I am bewildered.
Your last message to us early hours of 4/7/25 was taken from
2 Corinthians 3:4-5 summary “my grace is sufficient for thee” Eccl.3:1, Rom. 8:28, 2 kings 7:9 all gave me better perspectives going forward.
I always talk about your graceful character, your passion, notable achievements, love, appreciation and sincerity.
Journeying with you from 1980 to date across cities and towns, full of wonderful memories.
So hard to say goodbye Scott, until we meet again. You are forever in our hearts.♥️

I'm still in shock. I thank God I spent time catching up though I actually was in a hurry but somehow I stayed until we both started laughing that our talk no go end not knowing that was going to be the very last.... No more daily devotional posting, the deep rich
laughter, so many no mores... Only God can comfort us all. Indeed, every day is a gift. Heaven at last,that's the goal.

New Era Greetings from the Deacons’ Assembly,
With heavy hearts, we at Deacons' Board of Living Faith Church Sunnyvale, mourn the passing of our dearly beloved Pastor, Arch Gbolahan Fowora—a man of deep wisdom, humility, and unwavering commitment to the Kingdom.
Though he served as a part-time pastor, his words carried full-time power. Even in his latter days, he continued to share profound biblical insights and spiritual counsel that edified us. His gentle wisdom, laced with scripture and grace, encouraged many of us to hold firm to our faith and calling.
We especially honour his beloved wife, who remains a shining example of faithfulness and quiet strength. Her continued dedication to the Children’s Church, even during personal trials, has inspired us all. Ma, we see you, we value you, and we stand with you.
As a body, we are committed to extending love, prayer, and support to you and your family during this time.
May the God of all comfort be with you and your household, and may our Pastor’s soul find eternal rest in the presence of the Lord.
With heartfelt sympathy,
CHAIRMAN The Deacons' Assembly, Living Faith Church Sunnyvale

Arc Gbolahan Fowora, you quietly passed into glory without notice, but your legacy of hard work, pure conscience and integrity lives on.
We have been friends with Sis Funke right from Great Ife, you are such a helper in time of needs, you were my host as a bachelor during my first visit to Abuja in 1990.
I still find it difficult to come to the reality of your sudden departure.
I pray for Sister Funke for strength to carrying on with your legacy.
Good Night Scot!

To my dearest "Bro Mi,"
When we lost Dad 25 years ago, you stepped into a role you didn't have to, becoming my father figure and my rock. I will forever cherish the strength and support you gave me. Losing you is a pain beyond words and the void you leave is immeasurable. Keep resting in the bosom of the Father, I will miss you always. Say hello to Dad and Toks, until we all meet at His feet
Love Always, Yinka "Yinkuze" (like you would always call me)

Today, I remember not just the brother I lost, but an incredible person that loved to serve God with passion.
A good husband, father, son. & brother and one of the most misunderstood personalities I’ve ever come across.Words fail me to enumerate his great virtue but I rest in the comfort of knowing he’s in a better place at this moment.
My brother, thank you for being a beacon of love, support structure, and strength. Thank you for all the memories shared, travel trips/plans. We will carry your memory in our hearts forever and strive to honour you in all that we do.
Rest in peace, my beloved brother. You are gone from our sight, but never from our heart

Dear Bodami Gbolahan,
This was not in the plan!
So much to say but we ran out of time ! So much to do together, again, we ran out of time !
Now that you are gone , there is just a wide big aching gap.....no one else can fill......but God.
I don't understand, but I know God is faithful.
Even in death, you are deeply loved.
Keep resting in the bossom of the One who loves you.
Until we meet again at His feet.....rest well Bodami.
Romans 8:38 NLT
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
Forever in our hearts,

Gbolahan Adeniyi, always call you Scottie. Today, I remember you, not just the brother I lost but the sweet memories we shared together
Gbolahan, you were more than a family, a friend, a teacher,a devoted Christian
I remembered back then in the secondary school days,you were exceptionally brilliant and proud of you as my brother. You won all the best awards. You taught and simplified a hard subject, Mathematics for me, and made me have a good result in it. You are a rare pedigree per excellence.
At a young age, you knew and served God with all your heart and intents. You led me to Christ and taught me how to pray.
Though you are no longer here in the body,your spirit lives on.
I am forever grateful to have you and call you my brother
Rest in Power, my beloved brother. Till we meet to part no more at the feet of Jesus Christ.
