Memory wall
In the quiet hours of dawn, when wisdom begins to stir, I think of my uncle. You were a man who walked with purpose, a disciplinarian who taught not by harshness but by example, and a historian whose curiosity about the past shed light on our present.
A Life Steeped in Discipline
You showed us that discipline is not restraint, but a form of love—the patient, steady hand that helps others become their best selves. You believed in routines that built character and values that stood the test of time. Your instruction was steady, not punitive; You lived integrity with every action, and your unwavering self-control became a beacon for those lucky enough to know you.
A Historian’s Heart
You had a mind that wandered through centuries and civilizations, yet your feet remained rooted in the here and now, guiding us with stories that connected the past to our present, and to cherish the lessons history offers, and the preservation of family memories—you passed down a heritage we can still touch.
A Man After God’s Heart
Your faith was not boastful but revealed in humble deeds and steadfast trust. You sought God’s presence in everything you do.
Through Your Legacy
May we carry forward your discipline with gentleness, balancing rigor with compassion.
Rest on, my dear uncle Elder Daniel Ejarune.
He is full of wisdom and good ideas, his leadership exposed people to wiseness.
