“Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 NIV
Obituary
Oluwabusolami (Buzz) Temiloluwa Agbaje (née Duro-Emanuel), born on 29 July 1995, sadly passed away on 27 August 2026 at the age of 31. Whilst her time with us was far too brief, Busola left an incredible and lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her, from her family to her friends and colleagues.
Busola was known for her unwavering kindness, infectious joy and vivacious spirit. She lived boldly and fearlessly, with a deep gratitude for the life God had blessed her with, embracing every moment with purpose and joy. Her appreciation for life manifested in her ever-smiling disposition and in the intentional way she loved her people — loudly, deeply and unapologetically.
She lived a life devoted to the Lord, honouring God faithfully in every aspect of her being. Her commitment to serving in church, along with the quiet yet powerful evangelism she embodied in her day-to-day life, was a beautiful reflection of her faith.
Busola studied Economics and International Relations at Lancaster University, graduating in 2016. It was also during her university years that she met Tobi, who would go on to become the love of her life and her husband. Their relationship was rooted in love, friendship, faith and a deep commitment to one another.
Busola also built a career marked by ambition, excellence and an enduring desire to make an impact. She spent several years at EY in London before continuing her career at J.P. Morgan, where she most recently served as Chief of Staff within the Employee Platforms team. Just as she did in her personal life, Busola brought energy, warmth and purpose to her work, forming meaningful relationships with the colleagues she met along the way.
Throughout her life, she remained a devoted and loving daughter to her parents, a cherished wife to Tobi, and a treasured friend to many, with each friendship carrying its own unique and special bond. Each person will miss her sorely for the light she brought into every room and into every life she touched.
We remain grateful to God for every moment of her life and every memory made. Though her time with us was far shorter than we could ever have wished, the love she gave, the joy she shared, the faith she lived and the lives she touched will endure. Her spirit lives on in all those she leaves behind.

What a beautiful ray of sunshine you were.
I'm honored I got the opportunity to know you when Tobi was in business school. You were such a joy to be around and made the effort to build an individual relationship with each and every one of us. We bonded over our love of reality TV and all the drama from Real Housewives.
I was looking forward to you moving to Chicago. I wish we'd had the chance to see Kirk Franklin, Wicked, or The Nutcracker again and make it the holiday tradition we planned.
You are an incredible woman, and I'll always treasure the glimpses you gave us of your love for Tobi including the amazing 30th birthday surprise you pulled off for him. Thank you for including us in all your big moments. The thoughtfulness and care you showed him throughout was inspiring, and he couldn't have asked for a better partner.
Your warmth, your love for God, and the love you gave others was admirable. It was in the way you showed up for people, helping Njay pack up her apartment, coming to my dad's remembrance, sending Tobi back with Maltesers every single time because I once mentioned in passing that I loved them. Who else is that thoughtful, that kind, that loving?
We will miss you so much, Busola. It's hard to even comprehend this loss, and my heart goes out to your mom, to Tobi your beloved husband, to your friends, and to all your family.
We know you're watching over us. Till we meet again.




I met you first through a mutual friend and then through your husband Tobi.
You were always the kindest, warmest person and your love for your friends and Tobi stood out everytime we interacted. You were someone who cared deeply for the people around you and such an empathetic person. You are very deeply loved by so many people
You had the brightest smile always ready to meet new people with a smile and warmth that is rare today.
I pray for strength and comfort for your loved ones and family, I will cherish the memories I got to have with you and pray that you rest in the arms of the Almighty in perfect peace.
While you aren’t here with us in person your spirit lives on through the joy you gave us, all the mutual love you share with your husband family and friends, and the way you have made us all better people.
Lots of love

It is truly heartbreaking and so disheartening to hear that someone as kind, caring, loving, and full of happiness as you has gone so soon.
I will always remember your beautiful and contagious smile, the joy you carried, and the warmth you brought to everyone around you. Knowing you was never a mistake; it was a blessing, and I will forever cherish the memories of you.
Your pretty smile will always remain in my heart. You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be forgotten.
Rest peacefully, my dearest Buzz Until we meet again.

Busola and I crossed paths over the years at EY. Whenever I met with her I always felt better after having been in her presence. She was a bubbly character, a passionate individual for championing equity and was just an amazing person overall.
I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. My prayers are with you all.
May Allah SWT (God) grant you all ease during this difficult time.

A pure and happy soul — that’s how John and I will always remember you. Gosh, Busola, you loved so deeply, and it showed in your love for Tobi, your mum, your friends, and your people. Your soft-spoken voice, and then that unmistakable laughter. You always knew Busola was around when you heard her laugh before you even saw her in the room.
You reignited my love for Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary, and I’ll always smile thinking about your signature Busola dance!
Your faith and love for God shone through so naturally. There was such a beautiful grace to the way you lived and loved. And there was so much life still being planned and looked forward to. I was already telling Tobi I’d found a house in Dallas next to JP Morgan for you two, fully on my campaign to convince you that Dallas could be just as great as Chicago or NYC (in this phase) lol. I wish we’d had the chance to make good on all those plans.
John and I miss you. Your little nieces, who never got the chance to meet you, will know about you. Thank you for all the prayers, the love and the joy you gave so freely.
We pray especially for your mum and Tobi, the two people who held such a precious place in your heart. May God hold them close, steady their hearts, and carry them through the days ahead. May they always be surrounded by the love you gave them so fully, and may the life you shared with them remain a source of comfort and strength.
Thank you, Busola, for a life so full of love, faith, kindness and fun. For the laughter, the dancing, the prayers, and simply for being you.
We miss you deeply and love you so much.
Rest well, my sis.


I’ll always remember the time you had us over and how much fun we had together. I’m so sorry your time here was cut so short, but you’ll continue to live on in all of our memories. ❤️
Rest in peace, my love. Until we meet again. ❤️
We thank God for the privilege of having known you and shared in fellowship with you through the EY Christian Community.
Your kindness, warm spirit, and willingness to serve others left a lasting impression on everyone who had the opportunity to know you. You brought joy wherever you went and were always ready to offer encouragement and a helping hand.
Though your passing has left a deep sense of loss, we are grateful for the memories, friendships, and impact you leave behind. We take comfort in knowing that you are at peace in the presence of the Lord Jesus you faithfully loved.
You will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
With love and prayers,
The EY Christian Community
We first met in church at Jesus House and we built a wonderful church family, and more recently became fellow members of the incredible Gorgeous Girls Bible study.
My fondest memory with you was your 18th birthday, celebrating at Cafe de Paris and then having an incredible all white party brunch on a rooftop. That was the day I learnt how big your heart was, you welcomed me in, invited me to sleepover at your house for multiple days when we only just started becoming friends, and took me in like a sister. Since then anytime I saw you, you were always smiling, dancing and gave the best and biggest hugs. I feel so blessed to have danced the night away with you in Nigeria in January and got to spend time with you at a wedding in May.
I will always remember your smile, love and anytime I hear a Rick Ross song or drink a margarita I will think of you.
I am sending your husband Tobi, Aunty Zion, your family and friends all my love, and praying God strengthens and comforts you all. May you rest in everlasting peace, you will be deeply missed but forever remembered greatly!





I know how special you were to so many, and we will continue to recognize the unique place you held in our lives. Your strength and care will always be remembered, and your spirit will continue to guide us.
Thank you for the love you gave us. You will never be forgotten.
With love,
You were always so joyous and kindhearted. I remember when I last saw you before your wedding and we were speaking about how excited we were to go to Lagos for your wedding and how pretty your aso ebi was. The joy and smile on your face was infectious. You were truly a beautiful person inside and out. I will always remember your beautiful smile and your sweet, caring nature.
My deepest condolences to aunty Zoe, Tobi and the entire family and friends.
You will be missed but never forgotten, Buzz x
She was also the life of the party, bringing joy and smiles wherever she went.
You’ll continue to be remembered and live in our hearts forever Busola.
Rest well Sweet Sis,
Till we meet again 🤍



I’m so grateful to God for the heart you had. When we met over 20 years ago, when we joined Haileybury, we instantly connected over being among the very few Black people in the school. Our mums became fast friends, and so did we. You and Aunty Zion welcomed me into your home for sleepovers on weekends, and you always stood by me and showed me kindness, even when others didn’t. I will always be grateful for the kindness you showed me during my school years, and I’m so glad I was able to tell you just how much your friendship meant to me.
You were truly one of a kind. Even though we didn’t always remain the closest as life took us in different directions, I’m grateful that we stayed friends, checking in on each other and going for brunches where we could catch up on life for hours. Your jovial, fun-loving nature was infectious - a testament to your heart for your people, your zest for life and the way you lived your life with Christ at the centre.
Busola, I’ll cherish all the moments and memories we shared, from doing dance classes together as kids and teenagers to brunches as adults, and every moment in between.
My heart and prayers go out to all of your nearest and dearest, especially Aunty Zion, Tobi and your family.
I love you. May you rest in perfect peace, Busola. Gone far too soon, but your memory will certainly live on 🤍
May your soul rest in perfect peace. Xx

Baby girl like Buzz, I am so happy that God blessed us with the gift of you here on earth. I remember when I first joined Haileybury in August 2008, you and Tani took me - a freshie who barely spoke English - right under your wing like a sister. We really lived through so many funny memories: from that time where Aunty Zion came to pick Nonye and I up to join you both for dinner but then midway through our housemistress switched and asked us to come back; to growing up and doing big girl brunches; to Lagos and one of the greatest days of your life in March… we praise God. You were truly an angel, one of the most kind hearted, funny people; and I’m sure that as you’re resting in heaven, God has congratulated you as His faithful servant. You’ll forever be in our hearts and missed. I love you, rest in perfect peace lovely ❤️

Busola is so so special to me. I’m so grateful I got to witness her love with Tobi and see her marry her best friend.
Thank you for being an amazing friend and I am so blessed and grateful we got to cross paths.
Rest well my beautiful friend.

My prayers are with Busola’s family, friends and all of those who loved her.
Rest well sweet Busola x
I knew her as a wonderfully positive, creative and courageous colleague who always had time to support others and was someone you had to have on your team - she was that good.
It has been a privilege to have known her and enjoyed travelling on the same journey together.
Rest in peace.


Buzz was always so full of life, happy and kind. She was such a special friend to me and during our school years.
Sending Zoe and Buzz’s family so much love at this time xxx
We shared so many happy times and made so many memories that I will treasure forever. Seeing Buzz find happiness with Tobi was so special, and I feel incredibly lucky that I got to be there to celebrate their wedding day.
As always, Buzz looked absolutely beautiful, and it was such a wonderful day filled with so much love and happiness.
I will miss you more than words can say, Buzz. I will miss the messages and voice notes, and our dinners where we could sit and talk for hours about absolutely everything.
Thank you for being the most incredible friend. I feel so lucky to have known you.
My heart goes out to Buzz’s wonderful mum, Tobi and all the families.
Rest in peace, Buzz. My very special friend, forever❤️
Thank you for being you, warm, bubbly, and always smiling.
I still remember the first day Tobi introduced you. Somehow, it felt like we had known you for much longer. You had a way of making people feel comfortable, and always had the right words. I will never forget how genuinely appreciative you were of the love and care we showed Tobi on his 30th, and, of course, your very specific plan to make sure the DJ at my wedding played some old-school R&B (Joe and the others). That little detail still makes me smile.
It is the reason I was looking forward to seeing you in Chicago and finally getting the chance to raise a glass and celebrate the beautiful union you and Tobi were creating. It’s difficult to accept that moment will never come.
I am grateful that I got to witness the love you and Tobi shared and, in my own small way, get to know and experience the beautiful person you were.
We will miss you, Busola. But we will also remember your smile, your warmth, your words, and the love you shared so freely. Those memories will stay with us, always.
Praying for Tobi and your mum ❤️
We spent many hours talking about work, about life, family and the things that mattered and sometimes the things that didn’t. I will always be grateful for those conversations, for your trust, your warmth and the many memories they created.
There are some people who leave a lasting mark on our lives simply through the time we spend with them. You were one of those people and I will remember those hours of conversation with great fondness.
May the earth rest gently beneath you
May the wind carry you softly on your journey
May the light guide you way home
And may you find peace you always knew awaited you.
Those of us who remain will carry a little of you with us.
Rest peacefully, dearest Busola.
It was a privilege to have shared part of your journey.
I will miss you.
Praying for Tobi and mum that the Holy Spirit will comfort them.
Sleep well beautiful, until we meet again at the feet of the master. ❤️❤️❤️
Life is a gift, and you were truly a gift to this world.
Rest in peace Busola x

May condolences and prayers to the family, friends and loved ones.


Working with you has been one of the highlights of my career, but getting to know you as a friend was the real gift. You were a constant light and presence and whilst I am struggling to understand this loss, I am soo grateful to have known you. My deepest condolences to your family and loved ones. May you rest in peace ❤️🕊️
This has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, and I’m still in shock. I have so many questions, and so much longing.
You loved fiercely, Buzz.
You had your own beautiful way of filling every room with your presence.
You wore your smile like a gift from God.
And you made me feel like a second mum even though you had the most amazing mum- what an honor that was.
Your warm, big heart touched everyone who knew you.
That’s why this goodbye hurts so deeply.
I don’t understand why you had to go so soon.
But I do know this: _“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.”_ — Psalm 34:18
And I trust that you are safe in His arms now.
May God Almighty comfort your darling mum, your dearest husband and all your family and friends whom you have left behind.
Rest in peace, my dear.
You will always have a place in my heart, my darling.
