Tears as Remains of Pastor Dare Adeboye were Laid to Rest

Despite efforts to maintain a stoic mien, tears poured in torrents as the remains of late Pastor Oluwadamilare, the son of General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, were laid to rest yesterday

The third child of the family, P Dee, as he was fondly called, died last Wednesday in Eket, Akwa Ibom State, where he lived with his family and operated as the

Assistant Pastor in charge of Region 35.

The 42-year-old, who fathered three daughters with his wife, Temiloluwa, was buried yesterday after a farewell service at the Youth Centre, Redemption Camp, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway .

Prior to the funeral, the church, especially the youth wing, had organised service of songs and night of tribute, championed by the deceased’s brother, Leke Adeboye.

At the funeral, the sermon was delivered by Pastor Kola Oyeneyin, while the Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church, a.k.a, Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, prayed for the family.

Tears poured as he was committed to mother earth after the farewell service.

Among the dignitaries on ground were Oyedepo; his wife, Faith; Pastor David Oyedepo Jr; and Senior Pastor Covenant Christian Centre, Pastor Poju Oyemade; as well as thousands of worshippers and well-wishers, who connected physically and virtually.

In her tribute, the widow waxed poetic about the lengths her late husband often went to ensure she was happy.

She wrote, “I write this with a heavy heart because I never knew it would be this soon. I can’t believe I have to talk about you in past tense.

“I thank God for the wonderful life you lived. You were amazing inside and out. Yes, we had our differences and we fought.
