TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED Austin Bamidele Oshodi; affectionately also known as AustinO, from when we were little, by those of us from this arm of the Oshodi family. Our dearly departed Brother, Son, Father, and Uncle shall be sorely missed for leaving us much too soon. But with our affirmation to uphold the will of the Almighty, we maintain our fidelity in the belief that he is surely in a better place now, and in accordance with his disposition of social dexterity, that we celebrate the Blessing of his well-deserved life. AustinO, affable, yet assertive. Often reticent, yet loquacious. Reserved, but also a deluge of social etiquette and sensibility. Indeed, like many of us, our Beloved Brother was a cauldron of complexity, and simplicity, simultaneously. Fun-loving and the life of the party, AustinO could switch from levity to seriousness when pertinent, in a heartbeat. And if you caught him in those moments of driven purpose, which palpably resonated across his whole countenance, you might misconstrue him to perhaps be an arrogant, ignoble, or even mercurial member of the human community. However, for those of us who knew him well, we understood that side of him was reserved for a pragmatic, professional intent for excellence with occupational pursuits. But if you were to garner the testimony of any of our nieces or nephews, they would proclaim him to be of one of the sweetest, most thoughtful human beings they have ever known. And I am beyond certain, that many would corroborate this perception of AustinO also. Our family could readily delineate a plethora of experiences we shared with our Beloved Brother. But as aforementioned, in our effort to celebrate his life, we have chosen not to be too specific, and instead welcome all to celebrate Austin's essence with us with your own unique expressions of life with him, and with humanity. We would like to thank you for all the kind gestures of love and sympathy since the declaration of our Beloved Austin's passing. And along with you, we pray for our Beloved, sibling, and friend to Rest In Power with the Almighty!!!.. AustinO, We Are Beyond Proud Of You!!!...
