The life of Pa Emmanuel Akintunde Akinsola was celebrated as a legacy of kindness, sacrifice, and selfless service, as family, friends, and church members gathered at Charis Family Int'l Church Headquarters, Ibadan, for a moving service of songs and funeral ceremony that turned into a deep reflection on life, death, and eternity.
The two-day farewell held at the headquarters auditorium of the church along Cultural Centre Road, Mokola, was marked by an outpouring of heartfelt tributes and inspiring messages from Pastor Tunde Jaiyebo, who used the moment to call on all present to take seriously the reality of death and the need to prepare for life after it.
Even as messages of faith and eternity resonated through the services, the enduring image of Pa Emmanuel Akintunde Akinsola remained that of a man who lived not for himself, but for others. The submissions of family members and friends who paid tributes could be summarised as thus: he didn’t need to be wealthy to be generous, nor loud to be influential.
His children and loved ones described him as a rock, dependable and selfless, someone who would go to great lengths to ensure that everyone around him felt at ease and had the means to pursue their dreams.
Pa Akinsola is survived by his wife, Mrs Eunice Bosede Akinsola; his children, Apostle Akinwole Akinsola, Pastor Ayodeji Akinsola (who pastors Charis Northumberland, United Kingdom), Olusegun Akinsola, and Oluwaseun Akinsola, as well as grandchildren, in-laws, extended family members, and a host of spiritual sons and daughters who continue to honour his memory and legacy.
