Munachi, may your gentle soul continue to rest in the bossom of the almighty.we miss you

TRIBUTE TO OUR SON MUNACHI
The sun that shines so bright has suddenly went off. “IT IS YOU RICHES MUNA”. It pains and it hurts too hard to accept. You showed yourself as a good boy, humble, respectful, etc. Now you left us in this agony. People around you are still waiting for your resurrection but you are still lying there unmovable. Rest in the bosom of the Lord.
Adieu RICHES
Adieu MUNACHI

Obi, My dearest friend🖤

We met at just 11 years young in secondary school 2006. You first broke the ice by making silly unfunny jokes that only you could laugh at... which made them funny. Ever since then, you’ve worked so hard to make me laugh at all your unfunny jokes, I supported you with this by giving in. You also made it your duty to take care of me both inside and outside of school, as well as making it your daily job to tease me into annoyance for your entertainment. We had a playful, joyful, Loving & precious friendship, filled with admirable & treasured memories. You were a VIP & a very significant person in my life. Our friendship was so easy & effortless. From the very first day we met, we had an instant connection as if we had always known eachother. One day you asked me “when’s your birthday?”, I replied “April” you said “no way, what day?”, I replied “7th, when’s yours?” ... that was the moment we knew that this friendship was destined. We couldn’t believe that we shared the same birthday: Friday 7th April 1995.

We’ve had so much fun together, I remember our trips to the city for lunch, dinner, Cinema, shopping, walks in the park, amusement park & picnicking & baby sitting. Most days were spent crying of laughter gasping for air, or on the phone discussing what we’re going to do with the lottery winnings.

You were always a gentleman, down to earth and easy going. You exerted such confidence & masculinity that I always felt safe in your presence no matter the circumstance. I really admired the man you became and knew you were destined for greatness. You were so kind, protective, brave, respectful and respectable. You were gentle, understanding, Ambitious with a strong sense of purpose & an unforgettable personality. You’ve made me so PROUD Riches, and I am so lucky to have experienced you in this life on a personal level.

Although I spend most nights soaking my pillows, god wipes my tears & I see 11:11 the following day and I know you are here in spirit, I miss you so much Riches. You constantly spoke life into me and always reminded me how much I meant to you. The sound of your laughter, your scent, your warm gentle hugs & forehead kisses, your excitement & love for life #TakeMeBack. I miss you I miss you I miss you, I now have to adjust to life without you.

25 years on earth & eternity to go with the Lord 🙏🏽 You are truly missed & loved by many, my condolences to you, your sisters & mum & everyone who loves you.

My Obi, my bestfriend & now my Angel.
Rest in peace, I love you forever ♾❤️ 🕊


God keep your beautiful soul, Walker🖤

Munachi am still trying to come to term with this reality. You were a reserved and decent person. A very kind and caring soul, loved by all and from the little time I have been in your company, I can confidently say your Mum raised a worthy son.
You will be greatly missed, may the Good Lord grant you eternal rest, and also console/comfort your Mum and sisters.
God bless your beautiful soul, Adieu.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived a good life and that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"
You will always be within my heart and the many others. You were a kind hearted gentle man. I’m certain you re occupying the best seat in heaven.
Rest in peace Richie until we meet again.

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts ♥️ May the memory of Munachi brings Aunty Bernadette comfort and peace💗 Only a moment you stayed, but what an imprint your footprints have left on my heart, u were the kindest, coolest young man I have ever met, so soft spoken and nice, always willing to help, always telling me to travel the world, “go on vacation” u said to me the last time “enjoy urself cos u r young and pretty” 😭 I will miss u Munachi and I take comfort in knowing that there’s one more angel looking after us all 👼🏾 Sun re Munachi Riches Obi

It's so sad to hear this news from sister Gloria. Accept my condolences. May his soul rest in perfect peace

To the dear Family and Friends of Riches Munachiyi Obi,

It was my pleasure to know your beloved son, brother, nephew and friend for just three short years. It was my privilege to have met him as he deepened his adventure into the Mystery of Life by exploring and deepening his Faith in Jesus Christ. I noticed straight away what a dignified young man Riches was. He was always immaculately dressed, simply but so elegantly; he was unassuming and softly spoken, but with a quiet but certain inner strength; he always listened attentively to others, but did not shy away from sharing his own thoughts and asking tough questions. He came across as a gentleman. He had an impressive combination of wanting to make the most of his life, by developing his interests, skills and talents, whilst also taking very seriously the bigger and most fundamental questions of Life itself, and what it was he and all of us were created for. It is not so common in this world - which has largely forgotten God - to witness a man of his young years have the courage to approach the Church and seek the Sacrament of Confirmation; this is exactly what he did, and he and his fellow Truth-seekers were the last to be confirmed by Archbishop Peter before his death.

What I will remember most was the particular and unique 'look' Riches had in his eyes. I saw this one last time just two weeks before he died, as he arrived at the door of the Cathedral for Sunday Mass. This look was what i can only describe as an intense and lively 'searching'. It seemed that, whilst he rapidly and intelligently took in the scene around him, there was a search for something more; as if he was looking beyond what most people see. He was, I believe, searching for the ultimate purpose and Presence in life, and, I believe and hope, he found it. He was excited for the future, and no-one could ever have known that his future was to be so short here on earth with us. But his honest, courageous and impressive quest has been answered. He is with Almighty God, and closer to us now than ever by the power of his prayers.

Dear Brother Riches Munachiyi, I have been touched by how powerfully you are loved here on earth by your family and many friends. Our parish, and this city, is poorer without you. But we trust with the strength of the Holy Spirit that you are with the God you strove to serve, and that you are praying for us all, that we might have the same courage to search for the Truth and to strive to please God in all things. God bless you, Brother, and may He pour out upon you the untold Riches of heaven. Rest in peace and arise in glory. We hope to rise with you on the last day to enjoy the New Heavens and the New Earth. The pain until then is so hard but, remembering your courage, we will endure it with faith and hope.

Hmm it is well, Gigi broke the sad news of Munachi transition to glory. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. The Lord ll console and comfort you and his siblings.

My younger sister Gloria broke the sad news to me..it is a pity losing a young soul at this time... I sympatise with you on the passing away of your son...may the good Lord console you.....Riches rest in peace.....may light lead you dear child...
