Tribute
To honor the life of a remarkable man, fondly known by many as Daddy Fash—a pillar of strength, wisdom, and grace within our family and community.
Born in Ibogun, Ogun State, Daddy Fash began his early journey at the tender age of six when he moved to Port Harcourt. It was there he started his primary education, laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth. He later continued to Stella Maris Secondary School, where his thirst for knowledge continued to blossom.
With the unwavering support of his uncle, he gained admission into the P & T Training School, marking the beginning of a fulfilling career in telecommunications. He began his professional journey as an Assistant Technical Officer in Lagos, and from there, he served diligently across several cities: Ibadan, Osogbo, Ife Ilesha, and Akure. It was in Akure that he met the love of his life, Mrs. Esther Yetunde Fashina (née Ojumu), of blessed memory—a partnership built on love, faith, and mutual respect.
Eventually returning to Lagos, Daddy Fash did not rest on his laurels. He pursued further education in Business Administration at the University of Lagos, balancing his studies with his growing career. His dedication and drive saw him rise through the ranks—first at ITT as a Human Resources Manager, and later at Alcatel Lucent, where he attained the position of Director of Human Resources.
Beyond his career achievements, Daddy Fash's legacy is rooted deeply in his relationships and service. He was a man who left a lasting impact wherever he went. Whether in his professional circles, social gatherings, or local community, he was loved and respected by all.
In his spiritual life, he served with unwavering commitment. For nearly 32 years, he was the Secretary of the Christ Young Stars at St. Paul’s Church, a role he carried out with passion and humility. Later, he became a Patron of the Christ Morning Stars, before transitioning to RCCG Mowe, where he continued to serve faithfully.
His presence lit up every room, and his wisdom shaped many lives. Today, we do not just mourn his passing; we celebrate a life well lived, a legacy of service, love, and excellence that will continue to inspire generations.
Rest well, Daddy Fash. Your memory lives on in each of us.

Memories
You were such a calm gentle man, full of life and very accommodating. We didn't see you as an in-law, but a father figure.
You will always be fondly remembered.
Love always Abiodun Ogunrinde
Daddy Fash, the true Patriarch, you were a father to many aside your biological children, you counselled, you brought a lot of conflict to resolution, and you always saw the best in people.
Daddy Fash, to know you is to love Daddy, you left a legacy of Love and Unity, one which we will continue in, as God helps and guides us.
Daddy Fash, you lived your life to please God and you put him and the centre of everything you did or said, you were a real soldier for Christ, thank you for all the exaltations and teachings and the encouragement to follow Christ.
Daddy Fash, thank you sir for being a noble person, a man of integrity, a good example to us.
Daddy, thank you for being the best Father in Love, I could have asked for, you were always there to listen and even defend me, as you do with all your daughter or son inlaws.
Daddy, I am sure you resting peacefully, and keeping the angels company too.
E sun re o Daddy Fash of Jesus!!

He was one of many which was evident to people around him, a lover of God and people... a bridge for growth, family, great connection and network regardless of age, social class, wealth, status or religion.
He turned chaos into structure from his work ethics. I remembered reading the news of this particular company he worked for and the difficult task in down sizing the workforce, sure guess he did the job with empathy and understanding. He was used by God to descalate the chaos.
He expressed genuine love though limited while taking care of two sickly children and others in the family.
Before mentorship became a thing, my dad took it to another level giving his resources, time, finances, wisdom, advice, physical support and many others.
He would literally race you to debates in scriptures, majority of our morning devotions was turn to full blown service.
My Daddy, the man, the husband, the father, the in law, the preacher, the brother, the uncle, the friend, the leader, the HR professional, the social butterfly, the lover of God.
My daddy as a young girl instilled in me the love of God. Wherefore trusting God became natural instinct to me.
I remembered his favourite actually not so favourite movie, ayamataga by Baba Mike Bamiloye, my dad will cover his face while pretending to be reading the newspapers when the demon appears. You could argue a man full of faith and love of God could be afraid of a movie characterizaton. The Lord definitely gives strength to the weak.
Sun re Daddy Fash
Love you always
Yemisi Adeosun nee Fashina
Yes, according to the scripture in Ecclesiastes 3:1a, there is “a time to be born, and a time to die”, but fulfilling purpose in life is a testament to a faithful child of God. I can say within the scope of my engagement with you, that you fulfilled purpose by serving God to the end. Also, I am a partaker of the impacts you made in others before you departed this world. Your love for your extended family says it all. Your appreciation to even little act of kindness others showed to you, is worthy to mention. Thank you for teaching us with your exemplary attitude and actions on keeping the family togetherness alive. You are already missed and may you receive a good welcome to your final home.

With hearts full of sorrow but deep gratitude, we honor and celebrate the life of our dearly beloved Daddy Segun Fashina — a man whose legacy of love, strength, and faith will forever remain with us.
Daddy Segun Fashina was more than a name; he was a pillar of wisdom, a father in every sense, a quiet achiever, and a man whose character reflected humility, integrity, and unwavering devotion to God and family. In his presence, you felt peace. In his counsel, you found clarity. In his actions, you saw selflessness and love in motion.
He lived not for accolades or applause, but to serve, to give, and to build. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a dependable friend, and a man of deep conviction who walked the path of righteousness with dignity and grace. His hands were always extended in help, his heart always open in kindness, and his faith always rooted in Christ.
Even in his quiet moments, Daddy Segun Fashina spoke volumes — through a smile, a gesture, a word of encouragement. His life was a sermon of grace, and his passing, though painful, is a reminder of the beauty of a life spent in purpose.
Though we grieve, we do not mourn like those without hope, for we know that Daddy Fashina rests now in the arms of his Creator, free from pain, embraced by eternal peace.
We miss him deeply, but we celebrate the gift of his life — a life that touched many and lives on in all of us.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
Amen.
Mr. & Mrs. Dayoyemi Fashina

Today, we honor the life and legacy of a truly remarkable man—Daddy Fash, affectionately known by many as Daddy Festac.
To many, he was a leader. To the church, he was a faithful servant. To the Oke Youth Circle, he was a father figure and cornerstone. To me, he was my uncle, a guiding presence in my life, and someone whose influence still resonates deeply today.
From his early days of community service to his unwavering commitment to the church, Daddy Fash was a man of purpose. He lived with conviction, led with strength, and stood with integrity. Whether mentoring young people, spearheading initiatives in the church, or mediating family matters, he carried himself with a dignity that commanded respect—and, more importantly, inspired it.
In our extended family, especially within the Oke Youth Circle, his presence was foundational. He was someone you could always count on—not just in good times, but also during difficult moments. He offered wisdom, structure, and a kind of spiritual authority that many of us leaned on without realising just how much we depended on him.
In later years, we didn’t always see eye to eye. We had our differences—real ones. But despite those disagreements, one thing never changed: the profound influence he had on me. His consistency, discipline, and deep sense of faith and responsibility left a permanent mark, for which I am truly grateful.
Even when we disagreed, I knew I was engaging with a man who believed deeply in his principles. That conviction, in and of itself, was a valuable lesson.
Daddy Fash, your voice was strong, your values were clear, and your service was selfless. Your leadership shaped families, guided youth, and strengthened the church. While your absence will be felt, so too will your legacy.
Thank you for the example you set, the sacrifices you made, and the impact you had on so many lives—including mine.
Rest well, Daddy Fash—our beloved Daddy Festac. You ran your race with purpose, and we will carry the baton forward. Greet your wife Mummy Festac, my dad Baba Sola and Mama Porta. ❤️

If there ever was a man who is a stickler to and for the truth, that man was Daddy Victor Oluwasegun Fashina. If there was a man that will always hold on to his conviction on being led by the Holy Spirit even when everyone doubted, such a man could only be Daddy Fash. To a life well spent, to a life full of impacts not only to those connected biologically but also to those whose fate crossed his path.
It was a great honour for me to be a part of your life and to be there with you in the latter part of your life. Thank you so very much for the time of deep and intimate fellowship i had the privilege of sharing with you. The import of those time will remain indelible in my heart.
I still wake up each day trying to replay my daily routine with you, missed you greatly but i know that what we loss here is a gain to heaven.
Death is only a turn from time into eternity so am certain we shall meet at the feet of Jesus; BUT not yet. Sleep well in the bossom of your saviour.
Your son- Apostle Olugbenga Abraham - Ajayi

Celebrating the life of Daddy Fashina, a beloved father and inspiration to many. May your family find comfort in cherished memories and know that your love and legacy will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, and may your soul find eternal peace and joy in the presence of the Lord.
May his soul rest in peace 🙏 ADIEU.
You have fought a good fight has finished the race here on earth and I believe that there is a crown of righteousness awaiting you "over there." We will meet over there. "Good night."
It is with a heart full of both gratitude and solemn reflection that I celebrate the life and legacy of a great man, a rare gem, and a father in every true sense of the word—Daddy Victor Olusegun Fashina JP, who peacefully passed into glory on the 17th of May, 2025, at the age of 85.
Daddy Fashina was a true father by divine arrangement —a man who opened his heart and home to raise, guide, nurture, and discipline many of us into the people we are today. He was a pillar of strength, a beacon of wisdom, and a shining example of Christian leadership in the family, church, and the society at large.
Daddy Fashina was a man of deep Christian values—anchored in integrity, humility, faith, and love. He did not just preach Christ; he lived Christ. Through his lifestyle, he taught us the essence of righteous living, godly discipline, and unwavering faith in God, no matter the storms of life. Morning devotions were never skipped. His favorite phrase, “Let God be first,” still echoes in our hearts today. He instilled in us the value of hard work, truthfulness, prayerfulness, and sacrificial service.
He was not just a father; he was a spiritual mentor, a moral compass, and a disciplinarian with a heart of gold. His correction was never cruel, but filled with purpose—to help us grow and live by God’s standard. Even in his silence, he taught. Even in his absence, his legacy speaks.
Daddy Fashina modeled a life of fairness and uprightness. He gave freely, advised wisely, and stood courageously for what was right. His life was a beautiful sermon, and his home was a place where many found healing, hope, and direction.
Now that he has joined the saints triumphant, we do not mourn like those without hope. We rejoice because we know he fought the good fight, finished his course, and kept the faith. His crown of righteousness surely awaits him (2 Timothy 4:7-8).
Though we miss his presence dearly, we are grateful that we had the blessing of knowing, loving, and learning from such a godly man. His legacy will live on—not in monuments of stone, but in the lives he shaped and the faith he passed on.
Rest on, Daddy Victor Olusegun Fashina JP.
You have left indelible footprints in our hearts.
Heaven has gained a saint.
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet.
With Eternal Love and Honour,
Your Adopted Son
Pastor Kola Aladegbeye

you will always be remembered for your kindness .
Rest on Daddy Fash
He was and remains a great blessing to the body of Christ starting from St. Paul's Anglican Church Idioro where he served the Lord diligently, the light of Christ that he radiated can be seen in the lives of his immediate family members who are still serving the Lord in various capacities today. It is with such joy I celebrate your home going sir, may we all carry on strong in the Lord till we all meet to part no more. Rest on God's General.
To me, Daddy Fashina was not only a pillar of strength but also a beacon of hope during the darkest of times.
Growing up as a young boy in the Anglican Communion (St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Idi-Oro), I was deeply inspired by his unwavering passion for Christ and genuine love for people.
He served as a spiritual mentor to me, wholeheartedly guiding and encouraging myself and many other youths to surrender our lives to Christ.
His compassion for the less privileged was remarkable. I remember how he would often come to church with food items and other provisions to support my widowed mother after the passing of my beloved father.
His kindness left a lasting impact on my life and the lives of many others.
Today, I rejoice with the saints, knowing that Daddy Fash is resting in the bosom of his Creator.
We shall meet again to part no more.
Rest on, gallant soldier of Christ.
