A Heartfelt Tribute to a Father, Leader, and Prince of Peace
Emure-Ekiti, Nigeria – On Saturday, April 13, 2024, family, friends, and the entire community of Emure-Ekiti gathered to honor the life and legacy of Late Prince Peter Ademola Ogunsina, who passed on at the age of 71. A man of humility, unwavering faith, and quiet strength, his departure leaves behind a deep void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
The funeral service took place at The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Amazing Grace Zonal Headquarters, Emure-Ekiti, where mourners came together in an atmosphere filled with worship, reflection, and gratitude. The service was both a celebration of life and a solemn moment of goodbye to a man whose life story was marked by devotion to God, service to his community, and deep love for his family.
Tears mingled with songs of praise as loved ones paid tribute to a father who led with gentleness, a grandfather whose laughter brought joy, a brother whose loyalty never wavered, and a prince whose life was defined not by titles, but by his character.
Following the church service, guests were hosted to a reception at the Apostolic Faith School Field, where heartfelt stories, laughter, and music echoed the cherished memories of a man whose influence touched many lives. It was a fitting tribute to a life lived in purpose, love, and quiet dignity.
The celebration of his life began on Friday, April 12, 2024, with a deeply emotional Wake-Keep Service at his residence in Emure-Ekiti. Family, friends, children, and grandchildren gathered in the evening glow, sharing testimonies of a man who gave endlessly—his wisdom, time, and love—without ever asking for anything in return.
Prince Ogunsina’s life was one of unshakable faith and gentle leadership. Known for his wise counsel, unwavering kindness, and deep spiritual conviction, he served as a pillar to many. His passing is not only a loss to his immediate family but also to the wider Emure-Ekiti community, where he was loved and respected by all.
In a statement, his children shared:
“Daddy was more than our father—he was our teacher, protector, and friend. His faith in God shaped who we are, and his legacy of love, humility, and quiet strength will continue to guide us. We are grateful to everyone who stood with us during this time and helped us celebrate a life so richly lived.”
Though gone from our sight, the memory of Prince Peter Ademola Ogunsina will forever remain etched in the hearts of those he touched with his grace, wisdom, and love.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
