Obituary
In Loving Memory of Frank Oluwole Kehinde
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, cousin, uncle, husband, and father. He left this world after 3 years of fighting Kidney disease, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories.
Wole was a source of strength, kindness, and unwavering support to all who knew him. He approached life with a generous spirit, positive attitude, quiet courage, deep compassion, and a heart full of love.
Though he may be gone, he will forever remain in our hearts. The bond we shared with him is unbreakable, and the impact he made on our lives will never be forgotten.
We find comfort in knowing that he is now at peace, reunited with loved ones who have gone before him. We will carry his memory with us always and honor his life by living ours with the same grace and love he showed every day.
A funeral service will be held to celebrate his life at Living Faith church, British American junction, Jos on the 25th of July 2025.
Rest in peace, Wols! We love you.
Biography
Oluwole Frank Kehinde was born on Friday, 6th of January 1978 in Plateau Hospital, Jos. Grace and Kole Kehinde welcomed him with joy as the 2nd child and first son. From his earliest days, Wole radiated calm, kindness, and generosity. Whether sharing his snacks or his toys, he gave joyfully and instinctively.
Wole began his educational journey at Alama Private School in Jos where he began making lifelong friends and developed a love for running. He started his secondary education in Command Secondary School, an experience his siblings playfully claimed didn’t match his gentle spirit but Wole took it in stride. He soon transferred to St. John’s College, graduating in 1995. Wole was smart, organized, disciplined and neat to his core. He developed a love for sports, was a sprinter, loved basketball and football, and was a MAN U UNITED Fan for life he loved to say.
Wole earned his Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Public Administration from Igbinedion University, Edo State, in 2004.
Wole’s work ethic and warm nature found expression in every job he took on. He sharpened his customer service skills at Grakol and brought that same care to MTN Nigeria in 2011. In July 2014, he found his professional home at the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment.
As a Principal Training Development Officer, Wole poured his energy into designing impactful tools, building bridges between public and private sectors, and uncovering real training needs. He believed in equipping people with skills not just for jobs, but for purpose and he did it with excellence.
In March 2022, Wole faced the challenge of kidney disease with courage and dignity. The love he’d sown in countless lives returned to him in waves through prayers, support, kindness from every corner. His successful transplant in July 2022 was a miracle he never took for granted. Gratitude became his anthem.
March 2023 brought joy beyond measure, Wole married his beloved Fola, and one year later, they welcomed their daughter, Tiwa. Becoming a father filled him with a happiness so deep it gleamed in every smile, every hug. He celebrated Tiwa’s first birthday surrounded by loved ones, laughter, and light.
Wole remained a beacon of joy and optimism throughout his life. Even in his final days, his spirit never dimmed. He lifted others, cracked quiet jokes, and never failed to ask how you were doing because he meant it.
Rest in peace, Wols! We love you.

GOOD NIGHT
There are souls who walk this earth quietly, but leave behind echoes that last a lifetime.
My son Wole was one of them.
In the quiet moments, I feel you most Wole.
Calm in your words, gentle in your ways, yet strong in your values and unwavering in your care for others, always looked beyond yourself, having a heart that knew how to listen.
You lived with grace and intention, gratitude is your language, no matter what life brought, you met it with a thankful heart and a positive spirit.
Where others saw problems, you saw possibilities,
Where hope was lost, you held on with quiet faith.
You endured so much, and even in your weakness, you remained strong, encouraged and ever positive.
Your presence brought me peace
Though you’re no longer by my side,
Your spirit lives on in every thoughtful act, every grateful word, every moment where love is chosen over anger, and calm over chaos .
You are my peace,
A gentle strength in a noisy world,
I will carry your light in me forever .
My son forever.
Aunty Grace


I can still hear your voice so clearly “Topsybssss! whenever you picked up my calls. It always made me smile, and we’d laugh together like we always did. I’ll miss that moment.
As your little sister, I never had to wonder if I was cared for, you made sure I knew it deeply and I always felt secure. During Christmas, I’d ask, “Uncle Wols, how far this Christmas?” and you’d just say “No shaking, just come over.”
I’d go back to Abuja with bags full—rice, spaghetti, oil, Maggi, spices, tomato paste, drinks and other stuff. But more than the food and goodies, I went back with a full heart, Knowing you would do anything for me.
You were always reliable, always present. I could never call you in a time of need and not get your help. You never left me hanging. Your love was steady, strong, and true. I miss you deeply.
I thank God for the gift of you in my life and I take comfort knowing you are now resting in the arms of our Lord, surrounded by heavenly joy.
Your Little Sister




This is how we always started our conversations, isn’t it? “Uncle Wols, how you dey now?” And you, without fail, would always respond with that trademark positivity: “Me! I’m doing very well oh, very very well, don’t worry at all.”
Even through everything — your diagnosis, the kidney transplant, and right up to our last video call — you remained that unshakable force of positivity. You had a way of lighting up every room you walked into, and every conversation we had felt like a breath of fresh air. It was as though you refused to let anything, not even illness, take away your light.
Uncle Wols, you were the epitome of reliability. Always ready to lend a hand, to step in and take charge when needed, without hesitation. I can honestly say, you never once made me feel burdened by your situation. You carried everything with such grace and dignity.
You had this rare ability to face life's toughest moments with a heart full of love and care. You tackled every challenge that came your way, never complaining, never asking for anything in return, just doing what you could to help others. Even during those tough years when I wasn’t sure how to approach you, or what to say, every single time I called, you answered with a voice full of energy and optimism. I could always draw strength from you. No matter how worried I was, by the end of our conversation, you had me believing you were going to beat this. And if I didn’t know what you were going through, I could never have guessed from the sound of your voice.
Wole, this is so difficult for me, and I’m still struggling to fully understand it, but I take comfort knowing that your time here was filled with so much love, laughter, and peace. You gave us all the gift of your presence, and no words can fully express how much I admire you, how deeply I love you.
Now, I take solace in the thought that you are resting in the Lord’s embrace, free from pain, free from the worries of this world. I will always carry you with me, in my heart, in my thoughts, and in every smile you shared with me.
Love, love, love you always and forever.
Your sister,
Kemi Eminefo





Hmmmmm my heart is heavy, I just pray that God will show himself known in the life of Tiwaloluwa our daughter and in my life.
I have no regrets getting married to you Because you actually acted as a responsible husband and a responsible father to our daughter.I don't know how and where I will start my life from without you in it, I know you are with us, I know your spirit will not depart from us, we miss you so much, the house miss you,the flowers misses you, the cars misses you, the tenants also misses you, We all wish we can see you and talk ones more, but God knows better.
Oko MI it is very hard to say good bye..I pray God gives me the strength to carry on from where you stop and the strength to take care of our daughter just as you've ever wanted..
I love you boo of life😘😘😘

Your twin












I will never forget the afternoon you , Kunle, Muyiwa and myself were just chilln in front of one of the houses. 3 of you were lifting me up cus I had just returned to Naij and mentally was not in a good place. “Tosca!! No worry ehn, things will work itself out, just keep going no shaking, Everything will work itself out, don’t worry”
You all were right Things did workout but that moment especially is ingrained in my memory.
Even in your last days when we spoke you were positive “Tosca how far , man everything’s getting better with me we thank God” you were so positive that I wasn’t even the slightest bit worried. then we got the news…. some things just don’t make sense in this life but in everything we give God the Praise, glory and thanks. Thank you for happy memories. Till we meet again, big bro.🕊️🕊️

From our earliest days together,Wole stood out — not by seeking attention, but by the quiet strength of his character. He was calm where others were loud, kind where others were harsh, and steady where others wavered. He had a way of making you feel heard, valued, and respected — whether you were old or young, rich or poor.
What defined him wasn’t just good manners or how well he dressed — though he always carried himself with grace. It was the way he treated people: with decency, empathy, and unfailing courtesy. He lived by a code of respect, humility, and integrity — and he never wavered from it.
As a friend, Wole was loyal without question, present without being asked, and generous without condition. He had a quiet wisdom that we all leaned on, and a warmth that made even the hardest days easier.
Losing him leaves a space that no one else can fill. But his legacy lives on — in every act of kindness we extend, in every dignified word we speak, in every moment we choose to be better because he showed us how.
Rest well, my friend and brother. Thank you for the friendship and brotherhood, the memories, and the example. You were a true gentleman, and it was an honor to walk part of life’s journey with you. As we layed you to rest today the 25th of July 2025, may God almighty continue to fight the battles of injustice you started. My love to Yinka and Yemi.
Losing someone is always hard—but losing a family member cuts even deeper.
Even though you were far away in Jos and we didn’t talk often, every time we met, that family bond instantly rekindled. We would catch up on life, career and family like no time had passed.
You fought the good fight, and you’ve finished your course. We take solace in knowing you're no longer in pain.
Don’t worry, big bro… your aunties will be there to welcome you in heaven.
Rest well, Bro Wole.
You’ll always be in our hearts.
A gentle soul, now lost to time,
Your kindness echoed, a heart so divine.
With love and peace, you touched each face,
A landlord, a friend, in every place.
Your understanding smile, a beacon bright,
Calmed troubled waters, and lit the night.
Serenity surrounded you, a peaceful aura true,
Reflecting the beauty, of a heart anew.
Your niceness inspired, a love so real,
A legacy lives on, forever we'll feel.
In memories, your warmth will stay,
Guiding us forward, come what may.
Rest in peace, dear Oga Wole, your kindness will live on.
Our heart is full of sorrow.
Awesomepaul & Mrs Ruth Ogwuche

Kunle Kehinde
Cousin.




I grew up watching you with deep admiration of your calmness and your effortless charisma. As a big brother, you were always there: explaining things with patience, offering support without hesitation, and sharing in our laughter, especially with me and Tope.
It's so difficult to believe that you're no longer here with us. The silence left in your absence is loud.
But I will carry your memory with me always. Every moment, every story, every smile you shared with us will be infused with your memory.
Rest well, my brother. You are deeply loved, and you’ll never be forgotten.
Dr. Titi
Your memories will continue to live on in our hearts. We cry, but heaven smiles.
Sleep well, my dear cousin.
Rest on brother🙏
It still feels so surreal that you’re gone. Your random calls and kind messages meant more than you probably knew. You were gentle, thoughtful, and always full of warmth.
Thank you for loving so effortlessly and for always being present. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered.






Every time I saw you, you were always looking sharp from your outfits to your car, everything was neat and put together. I quietly admired that about you. Your presence lit up every space you entered.
I just wish I had told you all this sooner. That I saw you. That I appreciated you. That I loved you.
You will be deeply missed, Uncle. Thank you for the memories and the lessons. Rest well.
With love,
Damilola Efuntoye







- Your Beloved “Auntie Funmi” Olarewaju
One thing I would always say to you was, “You need to come to Georgia!” I really wish you had gotten the chance to. I wish I could’ve spent more time with you here. But even though I didn’t see you often, your love still reached me, and that’s something I’ll forever hold onto. ❤️





You taught me the depth of compassion; I will forever be grateful for your unwavering support during my storms. You showed up then, not out of obligation, but because your love is genuine.
Life with you was an adventure, your spirit is a blend of courage and childlike wonder. Walz you always remind me of days in MLD.
Even on days when the world feels heavy, you turned wounds into wisdom, your resilience is a quiet strength I admire.
Not just for what you do, but for who you are. A friend like you comes once in a lifetime, and I’m endlessly grateful our paths crossed.


We can’t question God , we give thanks to him in all things .
I pray that the Lord God strengthens the family you left behind in this trying moments.
May your gentle soul find peace with the Lord , Amen.
It's with great emotional pain that we wrote this tribute to a departed Nephew. We shared a relationship of tenderness and gentle Love always.You shared your vision and ideas with us and we understood you as you worked hard to achieve Good blessing from the Lord.You were strong in spirit and did everything to live, but God had the ultimate set time for you to be with Him.We can't question Him.
Rest in perfect Peace of the Lord.
Mr & Past (Mrs) Joshua Adetunji

Your demise came as a shock!! We had lovely chat and you told me, “Aunty BJ- as you fondly call me, you were feeling better and more stronger”. I was so happy and held onto God’s promises for perfect healing.
You were very kind, caring and full of life.
I will miss you so much.
Forever in my heart.
Rest in peace till we meet again on the resurrection morning to part no more.
Bolaji
Your Niece



Thank you for being there for Sali and I



You called me King Jeff, and every time you said it, I could feel the warmth and sincerity in your voice. It wasn’t just a nickname—it was your way of lifting me up, of making me feel seen and valued. That was your gift, Wole. No matter what battles you were fighting, you always had a smile to share, a kind word to offer, a hand to extend. You faced kidney disease with a courage that humbled us all, yet you never let it dim your spirit. You carried your challenges with grace, and instead of letting them define you, you chose to define yourself by your love, your humility, and your unshakable desire to uplift others.
You were comfortable in life, yet never once did you let that comfort make you distant or proud. Your humility was a lesson in what it means to be truly great. You had a way of making everyone feel like they mattered, like they belonged. I remember how you were always there for me—through the laughter, the hangouts, the moments when life felt heavy. Even when work pulled us in different directions, our bond never wavered. You made time, you checked in, you cared. That was who you were: a man who loved deeply and gave freely.
Papa, you were a great guy—not because of grand gestures, but because of the quiet, consistent ways you showed up for people. You had a heart that held space for everyone, a spirit that inspired, and a smile that could light up the darkest days. I wish I could tell you one more time how much you meant to me, how your friendship shaped my life, how your laughter still echoes in my heart.
Though you’re no longer here, your legacy lives on in every life you touched, in every smile you sparked, in every moment of kindness you left behind. I’ll carry you with me always, Wole. I’ll honor you by trying to live with the same generosity, the same strength, the same love you showed the world. Rest well, Papa. You were, and always will be, a blessing.
With all my love,
King Jeff
You were an amazing brother-in-law. From the first day i met you till the last, the warmth, smile, and genuine care never altered. Thank you for being an incredible part of our lives. Your kindness, calmness, and love mean the world. Your nephews still can't believe that you're gone! Demilade said he remembered how he had so much fun at Tiwa's naming ceremony. He couldn't make it to her 1st birthday because of his extended school calendar.
You fought a good fight of faith, and God gave you victory! There's no doubt that you are in a better place now, where there's neither pain nor sorrow.
The news of your demise was really shocking, and I was in denial for a moment, but I took solace in the scripture that says:"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." 1Thess.4:13-14.
Rest in power, Mr. Wols, till we meet at Jesus's feet.
May God grant you eternal rest.
Bambo
I fondly recall the good old days and the friends who made them so special. You are truly one of a kind.
You bring such joy to those around you.
Childhood friendships often lay the foundation for connections that last a lifetime.
Thank you for being such an important part of mine.
You will be forever remembered, my friend.
Though we never met I enjoyed hearing you and seeing you on calls.
The pleasure you brought to all the family cannot be underestimated.
I always will recall the video of Ronke bouncing about your garden when she came to visit you in 2023, you made her & us here in UK so happy.
We will meet one day,a true gentleman
Your brother
"Big Jon"
I still can’t find the right words. This moment doesn’t feel real — I never imagined I’d be writing this.
You were more than just a big brother and cousin. You were calm, kind-hearted, effortlessly cool, always put together, and full of life. You had a warmth about you that made everyone feel safe and seen.
You always looked out for me — checking in, lifting me up, and rooting for me. Your words, your support, your quiet strength… they meant more than you probably ever knew.
Thank you for being you.
Heaven didn’t just gain an angel — it gained one of the best. 🕊️
Bayo Kehinde
Cousin
It is with heavy heart that I write this tribute on Wole Kehinde, the son of my bosom friend Grace. Wole was my son and was part of the Adeluyi family from birth and childhood days when we lived next to Vectis Compound, Dogon Dutse in the 1970s. Kayode, my husband was his Godfather. I recall that I baked the cake for his Christening at his baptism. Wole was a simple, easygoing, humble and reliable personality. He has gone to rest in the Lord’s Paradise devoid of sorrow and pain. He is with the Saints in everlasting joy. May God comfort his Parents, siblings, family and relations in Jesus Name. Amen
Let me add mine
Shown here is one of the photos that we took with Wole when he was recuperating at the hospital. His sudden departure was so shocking but we leave everything in the hands of Jesus whom we look unto as the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Wole was a kind and compassionate man, unassuming and well behaved.
I recall with joy in my heart that the advice and counseling offered by my wife concerning employment was heeded and this led to Wole’s employment at the Industrial Training Fund (ITF). That employment no doubt added to his joy in the latter years of his life to the glory of God.
Adieu, beloved Godson, Wole. Rest in peace with Christ, the Guardian of your soul.
Bisi and Kayode Adeluyi

We will carry you in our stories, our memories, and the quiet moments you once filled so beautifully. Rest well, papalovings. You were deeply loved — and always will be.
In those few months we shared, I observed how you listened without judgment, laughed with sincerity, and offered kindness without reason. You made people feel seen, heard, and valued. I will never forget how easily you turned strangers into friends and made difficult moments lighter just by being there.
Losing you so soon is deeply painful, but I take comfort in knowing that heaven has gained a truly kind and gentle soul. Your light may be gone from this world, but the warmth you left behind remains forever.
You were a friend more than a Landlord.
Oga *WOLE* , you will always be remembered, always missed and always loved.
Rest in peace with the Lord til we meet again.
*PERCY DAJAN FAMILY* (Tenant)
How is this possible? I keep staring at your picture, still unable to believe you're gone. No... how?
You were one of the kindest, most cheerful people I know,always a positive outlook on life.
Every 6th of January will hurt now for sure. No one to share our birthday with, no call, no jist. Painful!
You’ll always be in my heart.
Gone far too soon. Rest in peace dearest Nephew.
Aunty Yinka
It is well.
These past few days have been really painful. One moment I feel encouraged, the next I'm in tears. It's been a wave of emotions that I can barely keep up with.
I can’t stop thinking about how much you meant to me and my siblings—how you always showed up for us. You weren’t just an uncle; you were like our big brother—caring, checking in, and constantly looking out for us. I remember during Michael’s wedding, you visited us every single day, to support and make sure we were okay. That’s who you were—always present, always loving.
Uncle Wols, I pray God continues to comfort and strengthen the entire family. Your absence is deeply felt, but your love and legacy live on in our hearts.
I remember blessing your wife's womb on your wedding day cause I was heavily pregnant but couldn't watch me not attending my oremi's big day. Little did we know it wasn't gonna last long. I cried when I heard of your demise like I loss a brother cause you were indeed a good person,Sir Wols.
You spoke calmly and was so full of life!
Oh my oremi, only God in heaven can comfort you in this difficult moment and my prayers are with you.
Rest in peace,sir Wols.
Your sudden departure feels surreal, leaving behind an ache that runs deep. Your absence is deeply felt—an unfillable void.
Yet, we find some comfort in the fond memories we shared and knowing you left this harsh, unforgiving world with a smile on your face,as if to remind us that somehow, everything will be okay.
Rest easy, Wols.
You are missed beyond words.

The memories of our childhood still remains strong though we haven’t seen for several years. The news of your passing hits hard as I was looking forward to some catch ups soonest.
The assurance that you are in a better place is the consolation that makes this feel like a transition rather than a loss.
Rest on Bro.

Did know that was going to be a good bye the last time I saw u kai ur kindness that smile, thank u for always remembering me n checking up. My ur beautiful soul rest in Peace n my condolences to ur beautiful family. Rest on Bro
Thank you for the positive energy you carried and kindness towards humanity. Thank you for being a big brother to me. Your memories will be cherished always for good. With love and respect, may you rest in peace with God Almighty 🙏❤️💐
My fondest memory of you is standing by your class window every break time.Myself,Kemi and Godiya,we'd wait for you to give us pocket money for Mama Titi's rice at the black market. You'd roll your eyes every time you saw us,but you always came through. You were truly a big brother to all of us and you'll be greatly missed.
Family tree

Appreciation
Service
We will come together to remember and pay tribute at a funeral service. While we mourn the loss of our dear Wole, we also aim to cherish the moments shared and the joy brought into our lives. Your presence would mean a great deal to us during this time of remembrance and reflection.
