To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.
Obituary
Obituary of Tata Godwill Cho Taboh
August 7, 1975 – September 7, 2026
With profound sadness and complete submission to the will of God, the family announces the passing of their beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, friend, and community servant, Tata Godwill Cho Taboh. He departed this life on September 7, 2026, at the Regional Hospital in Bamenda, Northwest Region, Cameroon, following a brief illness.
Godwill was born on August 7, 1975, in Victoria, now known as Limbe, in the Southwest Region of Cameroon. He was the beloved son of Bernard Chi Taboh and Christina Bongbella Taboh, both of blessed memory.
His educational journey began at Presbyterian Boys’ School at Down Beach, Victoria. He later attended Catholic School Gardens in Limbe, where he obtained his First School Leaving Certificate, before continuing his secondary education at the prestigious Baptist High School in Buea.
Although health challenges interrupted his secondary education, Godwill refused to allow adversity to determine the course of his life. Guided by his natural love for cooking, hospitality, and service, he enrolled at the Cameroon Opportunities Industrialization Center in Buea. There, he completed professional training in Catering and Service.
Godwill went on to work at Ayaba Hotel and Azam Hotel, where he developed and demonstrated his culinary talents. He later served as a contractor with AES-SONEL before eventually establishing his own catering business. Preparing food was never simply a profession for him; it was one of the many ways he expressed love. Through the meals he prepared and the hospitality he extended, he transformed ordinary gatherings into joyful occasions filled with fellowship, laughter, and a genuine sense of belonging.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Godwill will be remembered most profoundly for his devotion to his family. When his parents became ill, he placed their needs above his own ambitions and faithfully cared for them. He remained devoted to his mother until her passing in 1997 and later cared for his father until his passing in 2012. These years of sacrifice revealed the depth of his compassion and his unwavering belief that love must be demonstrated through faithful presence and service.
On October 16, 2016, Godwill entered into holy matrimony with his beloved wife, Edith. Their marriage was founded upon mutual respect, steadfast companionship, and enduring love. As a husband, he was devoted and supportive. As a father, he worked tirelessly to provide for his two beloved children and to instill in them the values of integrity, humility, kindness, faith, and hard work. His wife and children remained his greatest source of pride, fulfillment, and joy.
Godwill’s love extended well beyond his immediate household. He was a source of strength to his siblings, Rose, Sam, Humphrey, and Awah, and a cherished presence in the lives of his nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, and friends. He believed deeply in family unity and continually encouraged those around him to support one another, forgive one another, and remain connected through every season of life.
A faithful Christian and dedicated community member, Godwill served as Social Secretary of CYF Ntaturu Veterans and the Christian Men Fellowship of Ntaturu. He approached these responsibilities with enthusiasm, humility, and commitment. He was often among the first to arrive at meetings and gatherings, ready to organize, encourage, and bring people together.
Affectionately known as “Massa Money,” Godwill possessed a joyful and generous spirit. His true wealth could be found in the friendships he cultivated, the laughter he shared, and his remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcomed and valued. He was a connector, a mobilizer, and a brother in the truest sense of the word.
Godwill leaves behind his beloved wife, Edith; his two children; his siblings; and a large extended family of nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, friends, church members, and community members who will forever cherish his memory.
Although his departure has created a painful void, his legacy will continue to live through the countless lives he touched. He will be remembered for his warm smile, generous heart, faithful service, delicious meals, devotion to family, and gift for bringing people together.
Whenever family and friends gather around a table, care for someone in need, or choose unity and love, Godwill’s spirit will be present. His life taught us that love is not measured only by words, but by sacrifice, service, and the willingness to show up for one another.
Godwill, your earthly work is complete, but your legacy remains. You were deeply loved in life and will remain forever cherished in memory.
Farewell, Tata Godwill.
Farewell, Massa Money.
Farewell, our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend.
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace, and may perpetual light shine upon you.
Amen.

Uncle Cho as he was fondly called, was a loving, selfless, and deeply dedicated person. He gave of himself generously, not because he expected recognition or praise, but simply because that was who he was. His dedication was evident in the countless ways he showed up, supported others, and offered a helping hand whenever it was needed. His life was a quiet example of what it means to love others well. He did not need grand gestures to show his heart. His actions spoke for him. He gave his time, his energy, his support, and his love freely. Although I am grieving his loss today, I can also be grateful that I was blessed to have known him, to have shared memories with him, and to have experienced the love and kindness he brought into lives. His absence is and will be deeply felt. There are and will be moments when I will wish I could hear his voice, see his smile, or simply sit with him again to laugh. But I hope that, in time, our sorrow will be accompanied by gratitude — for the life he lived, the people he touched, and the love he gave so freely.
May you rest peacefully, knowing that you were deeply loved, greatly appreciated, and will never be forgotten.

TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED UNCLE CHO
I am still struggling to come to terms with your sudden departure.
I vividly remember waking up to a message from Auntie Rose informing family that you had been admitted to hospital with complications. I said a simple prayer and was confident that everything would be alright.
Then, only a few hours later, came the devastating news that you had passed away. It was one of the greatest shocks of my life. How could it be? Just like that?
Slowly and painfully, I am beginning to accept the reality that you are no longer with us.
Farewell, Uncle Cho. I will always cherish the memories we shared in Buea. You showed kindness to everyone around you and approached every task at home with diligence and dedication. You were always ready, like a soldier, to do whatever needed to be done. What amazed me most was your tireless spirit. You worked from morning until night without complaint, yet remained cheerful, jovial, and full of life.
I fondly remember following you around, eagerly waiting for the goodies you brought back from your weekends in Limbe. It never took much persuasion for you to share everything you had with us. Your generosity knew no bounds.
Thank you for your stoicism, devotion, selflessness, and benevolence. The impact you made on our lives will never be forgotten.
You will always hold a special place in my heart.
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. 🕊️
Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

Dearest Uncle Cho,
I never imagined that I would be writing a eulogy for you at this time. It is still so hard to believe that you are no longer with us.
You were one of the kindest people I have ever known. You were selfless, joyful, and always smiling. I honestly cannot remember ever seeing you angry with anyone. You were a wonderful example of what it means to be a loving and kind person.
I cannot count the many times you were there for me and my siblings. You always made yourself available whenever we needed you, and you never hesitated to help.
One experience I will never forget happened when I had an accident while I was in boarding school. When I came home because of the injury, you were not home, but you returned late that night and immediately took me to the hospital. At the hospital, the nurse told us that if we had not made it there that night, my foot might have had to be amputated by the next day, and I could have even lost my life because of the tetanus infection.
You were my angel that night, and I will never forget what you did for me. That experience is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Your death is a tremendous loss to us, and you will be deeply missed. But I find comfort in knowing that you loved and served the Lord faithfully and diligently. I believe you are resting peacefully in His presence.
Thank you for your love, your kindness, and all the ways you were there for us. Your memory will forever remain in our hearts.
I love you, Uncle Cho, and I will miss you dearly. Until we meet again, RIP

My beloved dearest uncle Tata Cho!!!!!
Your death keeps reminding me about the emptiness of life and how departing from this life is never announced. I still remember your kindness, dedication, selflessness and patience listening to everyone. I came to realize you were an angel amongst us here on earth. Will never forget how you funny called me "Nimu Clarise”. You will forever be missed so deeply.

Dearest Ndia Chefor,
Words completely fail to capture the deep shock and disbelief of losing you. You were, without a doubt, one of the most calm, gentle, loving, respectful, and humble souls to ever walk this earth, a man of profound sincerity and quiet strength who everyone knew they could rely on.
Looking back on our younger days brings back so many cherished memories. I still smile thinking about us playing floor soccer with bottle caps. Even back then, your grace was unmatched, you would always let me win, patiently listening to my endless excuses whenever I lost. In all the years I knew you, I never once saw you lose your temper or raise your voice. I used to wonder how anyone could move through life with such steady, constant peace.
I had always promised myself that on my next trip back home to Abakwa, I would sit you down, pour a bottle of your favorite drink, and finally ask you for your secret, how you managed to keep a smile on your face no matter what. It breaks my heart to realize I am too late for that conversation.
Big bro, you lived your purpose here on earth with intention, and God fulfilled your journey according to His perfect timing and will. Though our hearts heavy-laden with grief, I remain deeply grateful to God for every moment we shared, from running around together as kids, to following you through the streets of Limbe, to working side-by-side at Aunty Christy’s bar and the restaurant.
Rest well, my big brother. You leave behind a legacy of pure goodness. Until we meet again in His glory.
With all my love,
Uncle Doh

Dear Cho,
I still can't believe you are no more. It is barely just about a mouth I thought of you, and I said I was going to called and check but never did. I wished I had, but God knows why. I am happy we crossed paths in Azam for so many years back. You took Azam like your own place. Never worked with someone who was as honest as you were. Each time you worked, it was needless doing any control because I knew the person I worked with. You were very unique in doing your things. Always the first to come, and last to go just because you wanted your clients to be satisfied. I am going to miss your smiles, but your legacy will never be forgotten brother.
Our God is certainly waiting for you. RIPP till we meet again and celebrate old memories.

Some people leave footprints on our hearts that time can never erase like you - Uncle Chofor. Your kindness, love and hospitality made every visit special. The call I- Gelao had with you was very jovial, encouraging and enriching. You urged me to study hard. The visit we- Mikaeel and Malak made to the hospital was a pleasant one though you were on your sick bed. And we couldn't wait to see you on our visiting day up and strong. Daddy once told us how you played the role of Baby Jesus in a Christmas carol at Saker Baptist College ,Victoria while you were still tender and how late Grandpa and Grandma alongside you, Daddy and Uncle Sam used to squeeze on late Grandpa's bike. We always looked forward to bringing up these stories with you. Little did we know that one day, we would be telling them without you; in all these God had a better plan for you none of us could comprehend even in our wildest human imagination or dream. We will forever cherish the memories of your laughter, delicious meals, and the little jokes you cracked with us. We will deeply miss those beautiful moments. Your journey on earth may have ended, but your legacy lives on through the many people you touched and came across. Uncle, your love and memories remain with us forever. Rest peacefully, Uncle Chofor ♥️🕊️.

My dear brother Tata. Your death keeps reminding me again of God's ways. He choses who He wants at his will. The time and the place also has never been announced. My brother I have always known you as one person who forgets himself to satisfy others no matter the time of the day. I remember when my daughter had a major surgery on the spine at big Bingo. When we were discharged from the hospital still with stitches, we had to look for a taxi that could take us to Ngyen-mbo. In reaching Mbengwi pack the driver refused to continue that was about 8;00 pm. I was stranded and confused, but immediately I called for your attention, you abandoned all came and convinced the diver who together with you, took us to Ngyen-mbo and returned that same night with the diver. Tata let the rewards of your generosity be upon your generation.
Sleep well brother till we meet again.
Sleep well brother till we meet again.

AN Eulogy To My Beloved Kid Brother and My Father.
Tata Cho, it is painful I have to tell you good-bye to eternity. I believe it had to be the other way round.
You actually opted to see me off to Douala which I gladly appreciated. Little did I know it was going to be our last time to be together. Neither did I know it was an everlasting farewell trip.
I talked with you on the phone before you entered the theatre that Sunday night not knowing it would be the last time I would hear your voice. I encouraged you to be strong and have no fear for God is with you. You responded positively and confidently. Little did I know that would be our last communication. We both didn't know God would answer us this way.
By my human fraility I judge you were taken away too soon. But God who is our creator, who is the giver of life always has the final decision. I know He allowed it to happen for a purpose. A purpose only He understands. I am not skilled to understand God's plans. As human we cannot understand until He reveals it to us. Life is actually a gift from God I was extremely blessed to have had you as my baby brother for 51years. I will miss you brother and father!!!!!!!
Although you had a short time here with us, your life was full of love, selflessness, humility dedication and service to your family, friends, the community and everyone you met. You were an easy person to go along with. You were beautiful inside and out. Always smiling as you shared love. You fancied a simple lifestyle. I am incredibly grateful and blessed to have shared this precious life on earth with you.
Your passion for cooking and always ready to cook at moment's notice cannot be measured. You used this talent to give joy to your family, community and beyond. You made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of.
My heart bleeds and is broken to lose a lovely brother like you. I wish I had spent more time with you and talked more often than I did.
You did take care of our parents when they were sick until they passed on. We as your siblings have never been able to thank you enough. I wish you would have lived on for us your siblings and your Children to also show you love like you did.
As my health started deteriorating, I depended so much on you for many services which you did with joy without complaining or frowning. You hardly said " No " It was always "yes Mama". A smart and easy going brother. I will miss you brother !!!!!!!!
Tata you have created a vacuum in my life which will be difficult to fill. I wished God had given you another chance.
A few more years to live. You will remain in my heart forever until we meet to part no more. Thank you for all you did for me and for us. I pray that God gives you the crown You've truly won
I miss you now and always will.
You will be fondly remembered !!!!!
Rest in peace Brother !!!!!
Rest in peace my father !!!!!
Adieu.

*A Tribute to the Family of Late Tata Godwill Cho Taboh*
Dear Family,
Words are difficult to find when a good person leaves us too soon. On behalf of ExSSA Bamenda, I extend our heartfelt sympathy to the entire family of our dear brother, Late Tata Godwill Cho Taboh.
We are not writing to you simply because he was a sibling to one of our own. We are writing because, in the moments he spent with us, he became one of us.
Whenever Tata Godwill catered for our ExSSA gatherings, he did it with a warmth that went beyond the food he prepared. We remember the taste of his meals, but even more, we remember the man behind the meals—his calm nature, his willingness to serve, and that warm smile that greeted us as he moved around making sure everyone was taken care of. He served with his heart, and we felt it.
Sometimes, people touch our lives in ways they may never fully realise. Tata Godwill was one of those people. He may have come to serve us as a caterer, but he left behind something much more valuable: beautiful memories of a kind and pleasant man whom we were happy to have around us.
Today, as you prepare to lay him to rest, we want you to know that his passing has touched us too. We shall remember him whenever we gather, whenever we share a meal, and whenever that familiar smile comes to mind.
May God hold you close in this painful season and give the family the strength to walk through these difficult days. May the love he gave to others return to you through the comfort of family, friends and the memories he leaves behind.
Tata Godwill, you served us like family, and that is how we will remember you.
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
With deepest sympathy,
President, ExSSA Bamenda
On behalf of the entire ExSSA Bamenda family

Tata Cho, you were such a kind, jovial, loving, and family-oriented person. You were always attentive to the needs and responsibilities of our family, and your presence brought light, laughter, and warmth wherever you went.
We will always remember that beautiful laughter, especially when Pa Fru would call you to come and see him because his bad leg made it difficult for him to go to Nitop. Ohhh Tata, you would take that moment or even the whole day to come home, sit with him, and talk with him. Those moments showed the kind of loving and caring brother you were.
Whenever you came around, you made sure to ask about every member of the family and every sibling. That simple gesture spoke volumes about your love for your family. You cared deeply, and you were always there when you were needed.
Our dear brother, your selfless service, dedication, kindness, and commitment in every area of your life will never be forgotten. Your laughter, your love, and the beautiful memories you left behind will forever remain on our family’s memory wall and in our hearts.
Rest peacefully, Tata Cho. You may be gone from our sight, but your light, your love, and your memories will live on with us forever. Until we meet again, dear brother. ❤️🕊️

In Memory of Uncle Cho, Taboh Who Gave Without Asking
There are people who pass quietly through our lives but leave footprints that remain forever. Uncle Cho was one of those people.
He left us far too soon, in his mid-forties, leaving behind young children who still need the love, guidance, and support of their father. He was a gentle, humble, obedient, and exceptionally kind man who gave his all to anyone who needed help. He helped without keeping records, without expecting repayment, and without seeking recognition. That was simply who he was.
I deeply regret not spending more time with him, talking with him, and telling him how much I appreciated his kindness and the many ways he showed consideration to our family. Sometimes we think there will always be another opportunity to say, “Thank you. I appreciate you.” Sadly, life does not always give us that opportunity.
His illness came during difficult circumstances in our country, which affected his ability to receive the medical attention he needed. His condition worsened, and we ultimately lost him. Our hearts especially go out to his wife and young children.
A Word of Faith
Luke 6:38 reminds us, “Give, and it will be given to you.” Uncle Cho was a giver. He gave freely to others without expecting anything in return.
And John 3:16 reminds us of God’s greatest gift: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
When Nicodemus came to Jesus seeking answers, Jesus told him, “You must be born again.” May Uncle Cho’s passing remind each of us not to wait until it is too late to consider our relationship with God.
Let us remember Uncle Cho by loving more, giving more, forgiving more, and caring for one another while we still have the opportunity.
May God grant Uncle Cho eternal rest.
Your life mattered.
Your kindness mattered.
Your generosity mattered.
And you will not be forgotten.
May his children carry his legacy, and may all of us continue the kindness he showed to others.
Rest well, Uncle Cho, Taboh.

Dear brother, if I say you will be missed, it is an understatement 😭. No words can explain the pains in our hearts. You always did magic for things to happen, never failing, always smiling. We arrived your house late evening April this year to go to Batibo, with 2 phone calls, things were sorted, food and vehicle. Chaii, Ngia Chefor, Tata, what can I say and leave out what? There is no limit when my children and I start talking about how you were there for us, when they were in school in Batibo 😭😭😭😭😭. All I know is that, you came, you FULFILLED PURPOSE, my dear little brother, yes, we grew up together, you started showing kind heartedness since back then, then your Maker says it is time to come home. Is there catering services and other things up there? If yes, mami and her sisters, papa and others, have just gained you. Things happen and triggers me to look broadly and back a lot. I remember even when our dog Jerry was old and was about to die, we took it to the bush, but you went and sat beside it and you were very sad. But should it take the shock of your going for all these to start coming to mind again? Eeh Tata, my heart is heavy, but I am consoled that you were an angel, maybe we did not see that because you had no wings, and the Lord finally gave you your wings to fly home. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Because of you, I réaliséd there are painful deaths, but also the pains are different. Sleep on brother, I am sure we will meet on that glorious morning. Adieu 🌺🥀🥀🥀🌺🌺.

...you did yourjob so well that nobody could do it better. You did it so well that all the hosts of Heaven of Earth will "Here lived a man who did his job have to say: as if God Almighty call him at thai's particular
"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'"
— Martin Luther King Jr.
Whatever your hands find to do, pour your whole heart into it. Excellence is not about the scale of the task, but the depth of the dedication behind it.
How can I help you bring your absolute best to what you're working on today?
Do your job so well that nobody could do it better. Do it so well that all the hosts of Heaven of Earth will "Here lived a man who did his job have to say: as if God Almighty call him at thai's particular
...task."
That powerful sentiment—echoing the words of Martin Luther King Jr. and the timeless wisdom of striving for absolute excellence in whatever path you walk—is a profound standard to live by. Whether it's crafting words, solving a problem, or simply being present for someone who needs support, treating the work as a calling changes everything.
I am here to match that dedication with you. What task, project, or challenge can I help you tackle with that level of care and precision right now?
Condolences message
Losing a beloved brother—especially one who held such a steady, cherished place in your family, like a true anchor and chef who cared for others—is an immense and painful loss...
A Tribute to my Dear Brother, ngia Chegh
We gather today with heavy hearts, yet with profound gratitude for the life of a truly good man—our beloved brother, ngia Chegh.
Ngia Chegh was a man of remarkable warmth, steady presence, and a deep sense of care for those around him. Whether he was pouring his heart into his craft as a chef, bringing people together around the table, or serving as a pillar of strength within our family, he did everything with dedication and grace. He knew how to nourish not just our bodies, but our spirits.
He was a protector, a provider, a wonderful husband, a loving father to Clavel and Claris, and a cherished brother. His life was marked by a quiet strength and a generous heart that left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
Though his passing leaves an ache that words can hardly heal, we take comfort in the beautiful memories he leaves behind. He lived his life with purpose, and he loved his family deeply.
As we say goodbye to our dear brother, let us carry forward his spirit of kindness, excellence, and love. May his soul rest in perfect peace, and may the Almighty comfort his wife, his children, our entire family, and all who loved him.
Rest well, Godwill., tata Taboh, massa money, the happy one, Your memory will live in our hearts forever.

In Loving Memory of Tata Godwill Chefor Taboh*
My beloved husband,
So the vows we made on October 16th, 2010, that "till death do us part," has come to pass. It still feels like a dream to me that you are no more. It seems as if you are still at the food market, buying things for the service work as usual. This time, the journey seems longer.
When you were going to the theater, we had every assurance that you would come back. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be writing these words so soon. Your sudden departure has left me heartbroken and confused, and I am still struggling to accept that you are truly gone.
You are no longer by my side, but your love will remain in my heart forever. Your legacy will live on through our children, and we will honour your memory every day.
My dear husband, this reality is a bitter truth I must swallow. It is hard, but I have no choice. As our Lord is still on the throne, I know He will see me through.
I love you, but God has shown a stronger love for you than mine.
Goodbye, my love. May your soul rest in perfect peace.
Forever yours,
Edith

Godwill, I can’t believe that you are already gone so early my brother. We have lost someone so special in the family far too soon. A brother whose smile was infectious, whose hard work made me very proud. You were always there to carry out your work with happiness, joy and with passion to satisfy those around you and your clients. You were there for the family everywhere we were gathered. We will really miss you Tata. Though you are gone, the impact you made will last forever. Your legacy will live on in the countless lives you touched.
Your sudden departure is so painful, I can’t believe that I will not see you again, but God alone has a better reason for this to happen.
Goodbye Tata Godwill
Rest in peace with the Lord
Your Sister

Dear Tata!
November 2022, you welcomed me into Taboh's family with joy and smile. As brother in law, for weeks anywhere I wanted to go, you always followed me as my guardian angel. You always wanted to protect me even though I didn't. You know how to convinced me with that smile of yours😀 and after showed me many places in Bamenda for a month, you stopped to followed me around. Tata my smiling husband, What happened??? You do not even waited that we finished your mother in law ( my mum ) burial ceremony to thank you for being there for us, instead you just gave up and gone. In everything I thank God and I hope is your destiny to go like it happened. Peaceful rest in the Lord.
sister- in-law.

To our dear Father and brother, Tata Godwill Taboh
We find it difficult to believe you are no more.
Oh death, you are cruel and wicked, where is your sting?
You were more than a brother to us.
Your kindness, laughter and generous spirit touched everyone.
Your absence has created a space that can never truly be filled.
During moments like these, words are never enough to express the depths of our sorrow.
We remember your good and delicious meals you cooked when we had occasions, now who will cook all these meals for us?
We love you so much.
Rest in the Lord till we meet to part no more.

I first met Tata Godwill over twenty-five years ago, and throughout every year since, he remained one of the kindest, most genuinely lovely souls I have known. His warmth, generosity, and joyful presence brought people together effortlessly and left an indelible mark on everyone in his circle.
Though his departure leaves an ache in our hearts, his legacy of compassion and service will never fade. His life remains an enduring blueprint and an inspiration to all who knew him.
I pray that he finds eternal peace and rest in the loving embrace of his Maker.
Rest in peace, dear brother. You will be forever remembered.

Our meeting lines were as follows. "Ndia Cho" and you would respond "Old Boy", my follow up would be "school is tomorrow" a phrase only understood by both of us. I would receive a punch from you thereafter and we would laugh while hugging each other. The only uncle i had who is sharp but with no edges. We talked a month prior to your passing and i cant bear the pain but i know God loves you better. Till we meet again, its OLDBOY

Dear Brother,
I still can’t wrap my head around this sudden and far too soon exit.
Amid the sadness, the image that keeps playing on auto-repeat in my head is the last time we met at Nitop… your loud, infectious laughter. I honestly can’t remember what we were laughing so hard about. And perhaps that’s the point. Over the years, whenever I met you (and that wasnt very often), there was always laughter. You just had that way about you.
And so, in the midst of this sadness, this is the memory I choose to hold on to. I can see that smile even as I write this, and for a moment, it feels like you are still here. Such a lovely soul.
Rest well, Brother, until we meet again.

It is incredibly difficult to accept that you are no longer with us. Your sudden passing has left me deeply shocked and heartbroken. Although we were family friends, I always regarded you as a brother and will remember you with great affection.
My heartfelt condolences go to your entire family. May God surround them with His love, comfort and strength during this painful time.
You may have left this world, but you will continue to live in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved you. May God receive you into His eternal rest.

Eulogy to brother cho Goodwill, brother of Papa Wawa of Sweden!
Hello from this sinful world to the world of rest where you now find your self bro Cho Godwil(massa money)!!!
I had never seen or met you in person and only came to know about your now that you are gone from you bro Akere(Papa Wawa) and his wife in Sweden.But I can tell you were a selfless and humble human being.Pa Akere is just like you,and his wife told us,you (Massa money)were even more than him in humility and service to humanity.
So I am going to praise you nonetheless for the good things I have heard about you "massa money" and from the good things I see your Pa Akere doing for our community in Sweden which I was told you were a more reflection of.I have been told how many times you will even forgo your immediate priorities just to go an extra mile to serve and help others in the community.The church weeps,the village weeps as they will always miss that first person in every event and who will be arranging and fixing everything that needs to be fixed ,when he was just knowing the person for the first time.
The family will miss that one person that will be ready to travel far and near to connect people,bring back reconciliation and warmth in the family.
And to your wife,words cannot be enough to console her, but knowing how serviceable you were to your family and community as a whole,I am sure,she is going to get the help that only you could have giving her.
You are gone but never will be forgotten because every gathering will always miss that one person to crack jokes,bring innovative ideas as well as the first person to put in the work when projects arise.(All these are the same things we have seen your brother Pa awah do in Sweden and hearing that you were more like that,we are very blessed to say your parents raised you all right).For the first time,I saw your brother Mr Awah broken to the core and lacked words ,I am sure the first time everyone around him also saw his sadness because he lost you(massa money).we all join him in his pain because brothers like you are always just one in a household.He cries because he cannot see a replacement for your person in the family.But like Christians,we mourn in hope that you are in a better place.
And to sum it all up,You all(you and your parents in blessed memory)have finished your work here on earth and resting in the Lord's vineyard where there is only Joy , peace,no weeping,no pain for ever more.
Rest in Glory,Bro Chocho!
Denise,A friend to the Awahs in Sweden.

*EULOGY FOR OUR BROTHER CHOFOR GODWILL - MASSA MONEY*
On behalf of CYF Ntaturu Veterans, We have gathered today with heavy hearts to say goodbye to our brother, our own Chofor Godwill.
To many outside, he was Chofor Godwill. To us, his family in CYF Ntaturu Veterans, he was our Social Secretary, and fondly call Massa Money.
And he truly lived up to both names.
As Social Secretary, Godwill was not just a title holder. He was the definition of the office. He was the socials of the group. He was always active, always present, and always the first in meetings. While others were still preparing to come, Massa Money was already seated, ready to start, ready to laugh, ready to organize.
He believed in this group. He believed in showing up for each other. He did not need to be reminded, he reminded us. He did not wait to be called. He called us together.
Massa Money — what a name! A name that speaks of his generous spirit, his joyful heart, his ability to make everyone feel rich in friendship. He was the one who could turn a simple meeting into a moment of joy. He was our connector, our mobilizer, our brother.
Today, the seat he always occupied first is empty, and it hurts. The group feels quiet without its social voice.
But if there is anything Godwill taught us, it is this: that love is shown by showing up.
So, Massa Money, we thank you. Thank you for your service to CYF Ntaturu Veterans. Thank you for your time, your energy, your laughter.
You have finished your work on earth, but your spirit of commitment will remain with us. In every meeting we start on time, in every activity we organize, in every brother we check on, you will live on.
Go well, our Social Secretary.
Go well, Massa Money.
Go well, Chofor Godwill.
You will forever be the first among us.
Rest in perfect peace..
On behalf of CYF Ntaturu Veterans, We have gathered today with heavy hearts to say goodbye to our brother, our own Chofor Godwill.
To many outside, he was Chofor Godwill. To us, his family in CYF Ntaturu Veterans, he was our Social Secretary, and fondly call Massa Money.
And he truly lived up to both names.
As Social Secretary, Godwill was not just a title holder. He was the definition of the office. He was the socials of the group. He was always active, always present, and always the first in meetings. While others were still preparing to come, Massa Money was already seated, ready to start, ready to laugh, ready to organize.
He believed in this group. He believed in showing up for each other. He did not need to be reminded, he reminded us. He did not wait to be called. He called us together.

A SOLEMN TRIBUTE TO OUR LATE SOCIAL SECRETARY, BROTHER CHO GODWILL
By the President, Christian Men Fellowship (CMF) Ntaturu
With a heart overwhelmed by sorrow, yet strengthened by our faith in God, I, on behalf of the entire Christian Men Fellowship (CMF), Ntaturu, pay this solemn tribute to our beloved brother, Cho Godwill, who served as our Social Secretary and was called to eternal rest on 7 September 2026, following a brief illness.
The news of your passing came to us as a painful shock. We had hoped and prayed that you would recover and return to our midst, but the Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, has called you home. Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we bow in humility to His will.
Brother Cho Godwill was a brother in the truest sense of the word. As Social Secretary, he served the CMF with dedication, humility, and commitment. He understood that leadership was not merely a position but an opportunity to serve others, promote unity, and strengthen the bonds of fellowship.
Your contribution to the life of CMF Ntaturu will not be forgotten. You gave your time, energy, ideas, and presence to the fellowship. Through your service, you touched lives and helped create an atmosphere of brotherhood and togetherness.
Your departure has created a painful vacuum in our fellowship. We shall miss your presence at our meetings and gatherings, your fellowship, your service, and the brotherly spirit with which you related to others. Words are truly inadequate to express the depth of our loss.
Yet, as Christians, we do not grieve without hope. We believe that death is not the end for those who put their trust in God. We therefore commit your soul into the loving hands of the Lord, trusting in His promise of eternal life.
To your family, we extend our deepest and heartfelt condolences. The CMF Ntaturu family mourns with you. May God Almighty strengthen you in this difficult hour, wipe away your tears, heal your hearts, and give you the courage to face the days ahead. May the beautiful memories of Brother Cho Godwill bring you comfort even as you mourn his physical absence.
Brother Cho, you came among us as a brother, you served among us as a faithful servant, and you have departed from us as one whose memory will remain deeply cherished.
Your work here is done. Your service is remembered. Your brotherhood is treasured. Your memory is eternal.
As President of CMF Ntaturu, I say on behalf of all the brothers:
Farewell, Brother Cho Godwill.
Farewell, our beloved Social Secretary.
Farewell, our brother and fellow servant.
Until we meet again at the feet of our Lord, may you rest peacefully in His eternal embrace.
“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.” — Psalm 116:15
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
Amen.

Brother Godwill, the news of your death came as a shock to us in the family and to everyone who knew you. The love and kindness you showed to everyone around you is still fresh in my memory, a heart full of kindness.
I watched how you helped everyone who came your way: we your family, friends, children, CMF, christians in the church and also those in need. How you always assist the Rev. Fathers to prepare food for them.
My brother stood firm in the faith; he was courageous and did everything in love. I will never forget all the happy moments I spent with you. You will forever remain in our lives and heart.
May God grant you eternal rest.
