I am writing to join you all mourn the passing to glory of my brother, friend and classmate Rev. Lucius Nnabundo Okoh . I have been to your church twice in this decade, first with my son after my former wife passed, and them last spring, with my new wife. In this last visit we joined you in church service and attended the Sunday school taught by Lucius and we were happy and impressed with the brotherhood Lucius enjoyed with you all.

Yesterday morning as I arrived from Nigeria for the holiday, I sent a text message to my brother Lucius to tell him am in the States and someone answered, telling me that my brother has just passed away through a massive heart attack at the Los Angeles airport and that she was looking for someone to call to break the news.I was shocked, confused and in distress, but God said to me, in a quiet still voice he is with me. Then I collected myself and called our childhood friend in Los Angeles, who then got in touch with other relations. I know this is a blow to you all but God knows and works His will.I miss my brother and friend and I join you all in this loss. His gentle and wise soul has rested in perfect peace. I know he is with Lord and we shall all see again on the day of our Lord.
Lucius rest in peace.
Dr Goodwill and Carolyn Ofunne

To the family of Rev. Okoh. May you rest in peace knowing that your loved one has gone home to be with THE KING OF GLORY! I know that words can never heal your pain of not having him here with you personally. Only Our Father can truly console you. This is the time that you must draw closer to HIM. But know... and truly believe and embrace the truth that to be absent in the body is to be present with The Lord. Rev. Okoh came to visit our family when my beloved uncle (Rev. Green) passed early this year, and he was a blessing to us. God bless you family.
Gail Blackwell

Rev. Lucius Okoh is a precious brother-in-law; being the first born of my mother-in-law, he was like a father to us. I will surely miss your fatherly counsel and love.

And like the Bible says, we will not mourn like those that do not have hope. We have hope that one day, we will all meet at the feet of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Rest in perfect peace.

Dr Reuben Jaja

I am really sorry for your loss. Lucius was a very good friend of mine, we met at Azusa University were we both got our Masters. Since then we had kept in touched. Sometimes he would email me or send me card greetings to know how am doing and few times he had called to pray with me. I am going to miss my good friend.
Not long ago I got his email inviting me; that he would be preaching at AME Church, but I couldn't attend due to pre-planned engagement. If I had known that would be the last time I would hear from him, I would have canceled my engagement to hear him preach. Lucius loved God dearly; his face lights up whenever he talks about God and loved to serve Him. I couldn't stop crying because Lucius was a very good friend and I am going to miss him.
My condolences to his entire family; May God's Peace and Comfort remain with you all.
Rest in Peace my Dear friend!
Pat Ndigwe

We all missed you, brother in-law, may u soul rest in perfect peace.

Rev. Lucius, if only I had known that December 19, 2010 was the last day we would physically see you here on earth, we would have spared some moments to say the last goodbye after your last beautiful grace. The congregation felt the Spirit in You during the grace, and your last service. We admired your humility and life of service. Now, go, take your crown for you’ve ran a good course. With all serenity, you are now resting peacefully in the bosom of Christ-Jesus, Our Lord and Our Savior.

Last year, I requested that you become my mentor in the discipleship and you agreed, yet; unfinished project.

You will always be remembered for your good pleasant shared memories; your kind thoughts, words and deeds. You lived a life of service worthy of emulation. You did not truly die; you transitioned into a higher honor to the Glory of God.

Ezigbo nwa chineke ”Na n’udo”.

To all your children, Ifeanyi, Michelle, grand- children, significant others, other relatives and well wishers whose hearts are heavily broken due to your demise, please accept our sincere and heartfelt sympathy. We pray that the Almighty God sends His comforter to comfort you all throughout this difficult period. Remember, death is a stage of life, and a manifest destiny for all of us. Without death God’s Kingdom will never come. As we await our own unknown dates and time, please take heart my dear. I know for sure that we will meet Rev. Lucius again to part no more.
