This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Michael Ozoemena, 21 years old, born on September 29, 1998, and passed away on January 4, 2020. We will remember him forever.
Man, I'm just laughing here because 2024 could be among one of my worst years ever since that night. The kind of pain I feel when I think about how far we could’ve gone by now, I wouldn’t be taking nonsense from all these folks here man, I’ll soon join you fr, me sef I’ve tried. See me in my dream tonight, could really use that peace.
It takes me 3 years to say a word. 3 years to open my mouth. 3 years to type on here. Still, words cannot describe what I want to say to you. No matter how hard I try. Maybe only you would've looked me in the eyes and understood. But you're gone eh? I'm sorry it took me this long to speak. I really miss you dear friend. Hope to see you again in the resurrection. I'll try to be there with Emmanuel waiting to give you a big hug (and tell you all his cheesy stories). Maybe that will convey all the words stuck inside of me.
A note to you, though I know you can't see it. A note for you, cause I really mean it.
Michael Ozoemena. January 4. A name and day I'll live to remember till I can't no more. I love you Michael. Rest in the grave till your relief comes. Goodbye dear one.
Mane shit is tough out here, only person I got here is your friend Shulammite, literally only her keeps me sane man, I’d probably never get over all this . Shoulda been me fr that’d make more sense fr, I’m sorry
I was greedy, I shouldn’t have forced you back to Lagos and now I have live with the consequences of being a fucking idiot, it’s my fault I’m sorry. I’m so fucking useless, should have been me I’m sorry I did not deserve you at all I’m not okay man. You deserve to live than I will ever deserve to. Please forgive me
Heard so much about you from your little brother. He absolutely adored you and you’ve made such a tremendous impact on him. You’ll be proud. Rest well. You’re still greatly missed.
I never knew Micheal, but reading Mikes tribute on Prosper Otemuyiwa's Medium blog gave me touch and feel for you bro. Not so many brothers with you heart exist. You are an influencer. May God give you a good place to rest. Sorry for the lost friends and family
I never knew Micheal but when i hear of the death of extremely talented minds who had a lot to offer to this world, i am extremely pained. May your good works forever live long and may your soul find eternal rest in the afterlife. Rest well Brother
I learnt about your death 2 days ago. I was distraught even tho I never knew you but being a Front end dev myself. Saw the amazing things Prosper wrote about you and what you achieved in such a short time and I can say the world has a lost a brilliant mind. Rest on champ!
I feel like I know you, even though its just from Prosper's tribute. Don't think I have ever felt this way for someone I've never had contact with. But, the world misses you, weirdly, I do too.
RIP Michael. You joined our team not too long ago and already your impact was felt. Your passing has truly been heartbreaking but we nevertheless find comfort knowing that you are finally at peace. Rest Well Michael
I had the opportunity to meet Michael in his early days at Andela, and I've known him to be an amazing guy who's so passionate and full of ideas, it's so painful that he had to leave but he'll forever be remembered. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace Michael .
It's extremely painful that you have left us so soon :( You always inspired us to do better work during the time we worked together. You'll be missed dearly. I pray God comforts your family during this time.
It took me a while before I could come up with something because it's still a big shock to me that you left so soon. Talented and simple. You will surely be missed.
I'm really sorry to hear about this. I knew Ozmic as an altruistic man that was passionate about building a successful career in software development for the sake of both himself AND Africa. His departure means another bright, young Nigerian has left us too early. He will surely be missed. May his friends, colleagues and family have the strength and bravery to bear this loss.
Michael and I lived together for almost two years, he is the easiest going human I have ever met who views life without prejudice. We lost a gem in Ozmic and no amount of consolation can fill the void he left behind.
Getting to know him, this short while has been educative, for me personally hes just one person thats always willing to help. Words can't express the kinda person he is.... Rest on bruv.
