Mr. Festus O. Odeh Obituary

Festus loved his family first and education second. Traveling two hours each way on the bus, Festus began working toward his first degree soon after arriving in America. I met Festus a few weeks after he arrived. Soon he and I were having fun cooking together for our frequent Nigerian/American family. We became very close, like brother and sister. I loved this gently family man and already miss him too much.

The recent loss of Festus O. Odeh is no doubt deeply felt at this time by family, friends, co-workers and former co-workers. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort and peace during this time of loss.

Festus Odeh was a gentle giant, an advisor, traditional man, Husband, father, brother, Uncle and most importantly, my brother-in-law. There is no adjective to describe his gentle nature. He was a good listening and always eager to help people. There are no words to describe the void that he has left in our hearts. We love him, but God loves him more. God knows best hence He called him home. My dear brother-in-law, sleep in the Lord. May the same
