Taiwo Oluwafunminiyi Omishore
The world knew a great man. His family knew their angel.
Obituary
There are people who pass through this world and leave it exactly as they found it, and then there are those like Taiwo Oluwafunminiyi Omishore, fondly called Tayuta, who leave it warmer, brighter, and more alive simply because they were here.
Born on January 1, 1985, in Lagos, Nigeria, Taiwo came into the world as a twin, fitting for someone whose life would be defined by deep connection and companionship.
He began his early education at Laraday Nursery and Primary School in Lagos. In 1999, at the age of fourteen, he moved to the United States, carrying with him faith, ambition, and a strong sense of purpose. He completed his secondary education at Chesapeake High School, Class of 2002, and continued his studies at Essex Community College.
Taiwo’s love for automobiles grew into a thriving business. In 2008, he founded Omish Auto, an international luxury and exotic car dealership that became respected across continents. He treated everyone the same, with warmth, respect, and integrity. To him, people were never transactions, they were relationships.
At 27, Taiwo suffered a stroke that changed the course of his life. He faced years of dialysis with strength and quiet resilience. About seven years ago, he received a kidney transplant, embracing a second chance with gratitude and determination. Through it all, he continued to show up, with strength, positivity, and a deep appreciation for life.
By his side through every challenge was his devoted wife, Timah. She supported him through difficult seasons with care, prayer, and unwavering commitment. Her presence was a source of strength, and he was deeply blessed to have her.
Despite all he accomplished, Taiwo’s greatest joy was his family. Home was where he found peace. Being with his children, Timi, Tyra, and Tommy, meant everything to him. He was a present and loving father who valued time, connection, and the moments that mattered most.
To many, he was Tayuta, kind, generous, and full of life. He had a way of bringing people together, easing tension, and filling spaces with laughter. His friendships were deep and lasting, and his presence made others feel seen and valued.
In the early hours of Friday, March 13, 2025, Taiwo passed peacefully in his sleep. Just hours before, he had spoken with loved ones, sharing warmth and laughter. No one knew it would be the last time. He lived fully until the very end.
He is survived by his beloved parents, his siblings, his devoted wife Timah, and his three children, Timi, Tyra, and Tommy, who remain his greatest legacy.
Rest well, Tayuta. Your impact lives on.

Taiwo was a kind and generous person, a selfless friend and brother, and his departure has left a big gap in the hearts of so many people he touched, like mine. He was kind for no reason, and he helped so many people in real ways. Taiwo wasn’t attached to material things, as he freely shared what he had, even his most prized possessions. In his short but impactful 41 years, he somehow managed to mean a lot to so many people. He will never be forgotten because he lives on in so many hearts. I pray that God comforts his family and friends, forgives his shortcomings, and grants him peaceful rest. Thank you, Taiwo, for being an example of a fine gentleman. Big Omish, Rest in Peace! We love you but God loves you most! 💔

This really so disheartening. My condolence to his wife and kids, aged parents and siblings, his friends and business partners. May he find mercy and forgiveness before God. I am really so heartbroken 💔.

Omish Simple, I thank God for allowing us to meet. You were one of my go to person. I remembered how you were putting me through your own business which a lot of people will not do. In my dark moments you always bring the light. You were there for my family. You have been kind to a lot of people and I pray that kindness will not depart your household. You fulfilled your mission on earth and now heaven has gained an angel. Rest easy Omish Simple

Tmoney, as I fondly called you, I can only find peace in your passing because I trust that God indeed knows best. You were truly an angel to everyone around you. I often wondered how one person could carry so much love, grace, and forgiveness in their heart so effortlessly.
I never saw you merely as an aburo. You were far more than that. You were more than a business partner, and far more than a friend. Not once did I call on you without you being there. Your heart touched and changed my life in ways words can hardly express. Through you, I learned love, understanding, patience, faith, loyalty, and kindness. You made me a better person. You helped me see life through a different lens, one filled with peace, compassion, and genuine love.
The impact of your life will remain with me forever. Though this loss is deeply painful, I hold on to the hope that we will meet again.
I have so much love for you, Taiwo. Rest easy, good man.

Though your passing was sudden & our hearts are heavy, d love, laughter, & memories u gave us will live on forever. You showed us what it truly means to care deeply & stand by the people you love.
May the Lord help your family through this difficult period .🙏You may be gone from our sight, but you’ll never be gone from our hearts. You will always be remembered and deeply missed.
Rest easy, my brother. 🕊️💔💔

I didn’t have the privilege of spending time with you while you were here, but in your passing, I have come to know you in a deeper way, through the stories, the testimonies, and the lives you touched.
Person after person has shared how kind, funny, intentional, resourceful, impactful, and how generous you lived. It became clear to me that you were not just a good man, you were a truly great one.
You didn’t need to know someone to bless them. Your life was a gift to everyone who crossed your path. You gave, you showed up, and you made a difference, quietly, consistently, and meaningfully.
They say some people live many years without truly living, but you lived fully. You lived what feels like 80 years compressed into 41. That kind of life cannot be overlooked, and it will not be forgotten.
Rest well, Taiwo. Your life spoke loudly, and it continues to speak even now. Sun re o!

Adieu Taiwo Oluwafunminiyi Omishore Tayuta of OmishAuto’s Omisimple — We will Continue to Honour your Beautiful Memories through your family and by helping people.
It is with a heavy heart, but in total submission to the will of Almighty God, that I have come to accept the passing of my beloved lil brother Taiwo Oluwafunminiyi Omishore— the one and only Tayuta of OmishAuto, OmiSimple.
My brother, my friend, has gone to be with the Lord.
Taiwo was not just my brother; he was my best guy, my go-to person for everything, and one of the most resourceful people to ever walk this earth.
He was a genuinely great soul who lived life to the fullest and lived on his own terms — unapologetically himself in every sense. He believed in looking good, dressing fly, smelling sweet, and showing up in style.
Taiwo made it his life’s mission to always look out for people. It did not matter if you were a king, Governor or a security guard — Taiwo would show you the same respect and give the clothes off his back if you needed it.
As a family man, he was an excellent provider, who made sure his wife and kids never lacked.
As a businessman, he was honest to his core and did right by everyone he encountered, always choosing to put people before profit.
As my brother, there was never a doubt that we had each other’s back, we always said if I have a brother, I will always have a friend and in every sense, he always looked out for me, for that I will remain eternally grateful.
His passing is a profound loss to us all, but we take solace in knowing that he lived a beautiful life marked by impact, kindness, and unwavering dedication. I am certain that heaven has gained a truly remarkable soul.
It is my prayer that everyone who had the privilege of meeting Taiwo or crossing paths with him will continue to cherish his memory for decades to come. And one of the easiest ways to honour Taiwo is that the next time you see someone in need, even when you don’t feel like giving, remember that Taiwo would. Let that be your reason to give.
I also want to use this opportunity to thank Timah, and Timi, Tyra and Tommy for allowing the world to share in Taiwo’s love. As people from far and near have stood to testify about Taiwo’s greatness, it is only natural for his immediate family to wonder — why can’t all that love keep him alive? Believe me, if money or human will could have kept him alive, he would still be with us today. But we are reminded that God’s plan is perfect, even when it is painful.
On a lighter note — Taiwo was my personal fashionista, my plug for the latest fits and freshest outfits. So I ask that you please bear with me going forward if my style takes a slight dip. The man responsible for keeping me sharp is no longer here, and those are big shoes to fill. That said, I have my eyes on Timi — I have a feeling he may have inherited his father’s eye for fashion, and I am quietly counting on him to step up to the role when he is ready. No pressure, Timi. Well… maybe a little. 😄
As for me, Taiwo will forever remain immortalized in my heart. To Timah, Timi, Tyra, and Tommy — and to my siblings, family, friends, and all who loved him — may we continue to keep his beautiful memory alive, for that is how he lives on.
A very special thank you to every friend and family member who, without any obligation, reached out to support the family during this difficult time. Your kindness has not gone unnoticed and is deeply appreciated. In the spirit of the man Taiwo was — always thinking of others — the abundance of what has been received will be placed into a trust that will directly benefit his children. It is the most fitting way to honour his memory and ensure that his love continues to take care of those he cherished most.

41 years isn’t enough.
We had 21 years of friendship over half a lifetime and it still feels like we were just getting started.
We grew up together. Through everything wins, losses, and those random nights where nothing mattered except being there.
You were more than a friend. You were family.
I never had to explain myself you just understood.
It doesn’t feel right that the world keeps going without you.
But I wouldn’t trade a single moment we had.
I’ll carry your laugh with me forever.
I’ll keep telling our stories so you’re never gone.
You were a masterpiece of a person.
Rest easy, brother and My friend.I’ve got it from here.
