Eulogies for Neba Fred Fuh

Eulogies for Neba Fred Fuh

My Dear Bro, II was taken aback when I got the sad news of your demise. I am still to bear on the fact that the one whom the lord gave me at first to carry in my womb and brough to this world is now history. As my first child and son, you were a replica of my father, husband and brother. You confided your hope and dreams in me, as we encouraged one another along the path of life. You taught me so much about love, compassion and resilience, which I all saw in you. Watching you grow into  the person  you  became  was one of my greatest  joys.

My Dear Bro,

I was taken aback when I got the sad news of your demise. I am still to bear on the fact that the one whom the lord gave me at first to carry in my womb and brough to this world is now history. As my first child and son, you were a replica of my father, husband and brother. You confided your hope and dreams in me, as we encouraged one another along the path of life. You taught me so much about love, compassion and resilience, which I all saw in you. Watching you grow into the person you became was one of my greatest joys.

Though you are no longer with us, your spirit will forever remain in our hearts. We will cherish those memories we made together as a family, the lessons you taught, and the love we shared.

“Bro, we do how”. The Lord has given, the lord has taken.

Rest in His Bosom my son, until we meet again to part no more.

 

Neba Magdalene Ngum (Mother)

With a broken heart, through a veil of tears and a lump in my throat I write to say goodbye to the love of my life, my best friend, my soulmate- my husband.

Together we made memories that will last forever, we laughed every day and shared the most wonderful moments.

His kindness, strength and humility touched not just our family but all who knew him.

His contagious smile and goofy sense of humor would light up any room he was in and make even the worst day seem a bit brighter.

I am beyond grateful he was by my side through our incredible journey and won’t ever forget the love he had for his children. And then he was gone so suddenly.

No farewell words were spoken.

No time to say goodbye.

You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.

My heart aches in sadness and secret tears flow,

What it means to lose you, no-one else can know.

A presence from our family has gone.

A voice we loved is still,

A place is vacant in our lives,

That never can be filled. The blow was great.

The shock severe.

We never thought the end was near.

And only those who have lost, can tell,

The pain of heartache without farewell.

Your memory is our keepsake,

From which we will never part.

God may have you in his keeping,

But we still have you in our heart Although he may be gone from this world his legacy lives on through his children Ava and Avery, and the people he touched.

We carry his memory with us and it brings me comfort to know that so much of him is alive in his children and family, and that he is in a good place with God.

Goodbye, my love, Goodbye Ava’s father,

Goodbye my husband.

Oben Ivette (Wife) and Children, Ava and Akongwi

 

Never thougth I would lose you but here I am standing alone without you by my side Fredo, I don’t know what to do without you. I’m going crazy. I am trying to hold back tears running down my cheeks. Who will take care of me and your mother? Only God has the final Say

Ngwa Afanwi Neba (Brother)

 

Fred, Big fredo, always too cautious about everything but death finally snatch you from me. This pain is too much I miss you everyday of my life brother

Asoh Christa (Sister)

 

This isnt goodbye even as i watch you leave my dearest brother Fredo aka “bro we do how”. The pictures, the daily calls, the love are all the memories left for me. Ive been crying an ocean thinking tears will bring you back but to no avail. Ineed death is inevitable and i have to accept the fact that we shall see no more.

Fredo my heart bleeds daily because you didnt say a word of farewell, you didnt prepare me to accept this at this age but i know you’re in a better place. .…

Miguel, Ariel, Giovanni (Nephews)

 

Goodbye is the hardest word to say. Never seen but only heard from and about you is so painful uncle Fred. To have you as an uncle was one of the special gifts of life. May the winds of love blow slowly and whisper in your ears how “we love and miss you uncle, wish you were here for us to see you just once” A silent thought and a secret tear. Keeps your memory ever near in our hearts forever. Adieu uncle.

Your nephews , Miguel, Ariel, Giovanni

 

Born on July 8, 1989, in Shisong Hospital, Fred brought immense joy to his parents, Pa Mike and Auntie Mado. He was to provide them joy all his life. He did well in his studies and formed lasting friendships. His home was a welcoming space for his many friends, a testament to his parents’ warmth and generosity. He also was a true friend to his sister, Asoh, and a role  model  to his  younger  brother  Afanwi. When he was lucky enough to obtain a student visa to attend a conference in South Korea, the family advised him to stay on and explore all opportunities to build a new life there. He used his employment on various construction sites to acquire new practical knowledge and skills which he hoped to use one day in Cameroon. He became a popular member    of    the    Cameroonian    community    in    Korea and met his wife, Yvette They were blessed with two children: daughter Fuh Ava-Junae Afanwi Ebot on 3rd of February 2018 and son Fuh Avery- Munir Akongnwi on 14th of August 2023. Fred worked tirelessly to provide for his family in Korea, but also regularly sent support to his family in Cameroon. Fred was hopeful that next year he would be able to obtain more rights as an immigrant. This would have permitted him to travel outside Korea and reunite with his family in Cameroon. To the great sorrow of his wife, children, parents and other family members and friends it was not to be. They are left behind not just with great sadness, but also with proud memories of a loving husband, a devoted father, a great son and a loyal friend. In short: memories of a hardworking young man who made the most of the opportunities that came his way to build up a better life for all he loved deeply.

Fredo. Growing up with your mother, my elder sister Mado in Wum, through being the Fifth follower, I was privileged to be the one that picked your dad among  the  many suitors  my elder sister had to be her husband. When their union was blessed with you, I was so happy to have a young nephew. Growing up as a child, you showed so much love for your parents and were always advocating for your mother when your dad was on one of his road trips. I remember you asking me some questions that I could not answer but said when you grow older you will understand. Fred, you were not just a nephew, but like a younger brother to me as your parents treated me like a son and I was like a role model to you. We both went to the same secondary  school Sacred Heart College, Mankon and to the University of Buea, both  studying  accounting   though  at   different   times. When I travelled to the USA, you stayed at my house and were very helpful. When I returned to Cameroon, you were very instrumental during my business trips as you accompanied me to most places that I went. Your hard work enabled me to set up a business place which you managed until you travelled to South Korea. Though we had limited communication due to your travel, you continued to be very hardworking and showed so much love and care for your family. You went far and beyond to ensure that your entire family is fine despite your struggles. You were the pillar of your family and achieved a lot within the short time God gave you in this world. Your passing broke me and the entire family as we were looking forward to meeting with you in the USA. We love you but God loved you more and called you to rest. Who am I to questio. Rest    Well    Fred,    Rest    in    Peace    till   we    meet    again.

Fred, my grandson, we your grandparents are still here,   why did you go before us. We will never know  the  mystery  of death. Instead of you moving  behind my casket,  I’ll be the one to do so. God’s ways are not man’s ways. We don’t know where you came from, but we know  you are going  to our Lord Jesus Christ. Greet all the  members  of the  family, at least  I know  there  will  be people  there  to welcome  us.

Mrs. Regina Akonteh

 

We gather here today with heavy hearts, as we remember and honor the life of Fred. Though his time with us was too short, the love,joy and laughter he brought into our lives will forever be imprinted on our hearts. It is hard to put into words what it means to lose someone so young, someone with so much life ahead of them but what we can hold onto are the precious memories. We saw the bright dreams, the passion he had for the things the things he loved and the way he inspired those around him with his energy. His entrepreneurial spirit brought home a brand “we do how bro” in different flavors, shirts, pants, jackets, sweat shirts, just to name a few. It’s unfortunate our plans to go industrial were cut shot when the cold hands snatched him in a twinkle of an eye. Fred’s social life impacted thousands in his community. As a DJ, he created an impact in his community by taking off some stress off their shoulders. His presence brightened every corner. Today, let us remember him not with sorrow alone, but with gratitude for the time we had we him. Let us hold close the memories and find comfort in knowing that he will always be a part of us, forever in our hearts. Rest in peace “Fredo”,we love you, we miss you and we will carry you with us always. Though you are no longer with us, your spirit will forever remain in our hearts. We will cherish those memories we made together as a family, the lessons you taught, and the love we shared. “Bro, we do how”. The Lord has given, the lord has taken. Rest in His Bosom my son, until we meet again to part no more.

Fred, my beloved son, it is difficult to come to terms that you are no more. You were the first to give me the name “uncle father.” You have always made me proud. From the testimonies of everyone you are a great guy. Rest in peace. God’s ways are not our ways.

Rev Father Gregory

 

Fred! Fredo my (our) brother i miss you everyday that goes by. You were a big brother who cared deeply for me for us. I loved watching you live life through the bad and good times you were always the life of the party. You taught us how to live and your memory and legacy teaches us that we should love and support one another unconditionally. We will carry this forward. I can’t believe its been over a month and we haven’t spoken to each other. God loved you more than us and i can understand why because you were a good person. keep resting in the lord until we meet again. Goodbye big bro, good bye Fredo Rest in the lord @bro we do how.

Melanie,

 

Mr. Neba Fred Fuh, whom we fondly called Bro We Do How, was a good man. His calm and friendly demeanor touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He was not just a member but the heartbeat of our community—our most active and dedicated member, always stepping up to solve problems with wisdom and care. The gap he leaves behind is immeasurable, one no one else can fill. Paju Palace, South Korea, will forever feel his absence, but his spirit will live on in the memories and lives he impacted. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Rest well, dear brother. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

We gather here today to honor the life of Neba Fred, a remarkable soul who meant so much to all of us. His sudden passing has left our hearts shattered, but his memory continues to shine brightly, guiding us through the pain. Many of us first met Fred at C.S. Alakuma, where our childhoods were filled with laughter and adventure. Whether we were racing each other to class, sharing snacks during lunch, or getting into harmless mischief, Fred had an incredible way of making every moment special. He turned ordinary days into extraordinary memories that we will treasure forever. Fred’s kind heart stood out from the very beginning. Even as a child, he was always the first to lend a helping hand, offer a comforting smile, or share words of encouragement. That compassion wasn’t a phase—it defined his entire life. Fred made everyone feel seen, valued, and deeply loved, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him. In school, Fred amazed us with his ingenuity. Somehow, he could manage to buy a full meal with the smallest amount of money. Thinking back now, it’s clear he had a natural entrepreneurial spirit, even then.

One of our fondest memories of Fred was the time we skipped class to venture deep into the forest, harvesting fruits while others were in their lessons. Despite the punishment we faced when we returned, Fred’s joy in sharing our spoils and his reminder to focus on our “harvest” rather than the consequences taught us to find happiness in every experience. That was Fred—always full of life, encouraging us to see beauty even in the simplest moments. Though Fred’s time with us feels far too short, the lessons he taught us—about kindness, courage, and embracing life fully—will remain in our hearts forever. Rest in peace, dear friend. Your light will guide us always

As we gather here today, still reeling from the tragic death of Neba Fred, we are shocked, scared and angered at the unfairness that took him from us. We seek to make sense of this, to understand the reason why this happened. What possible meaning or lesson can be gleaned from this? Well we may say it is all part of God’s plan, or that this was just Fred’s time to go, that he is in a better place. But we cry out that while God certainly knows his plan, we do not.We hope that Fred is indeed in a better place now. Unfortunately, it is painful as it is, we must accept that Fred is dead. As a family, as friends, as a community, we express our sadness, but we are thankful to God for the time he spent with us and we keep committing him in our prayers.

Ohhh Fredo, how it pains to confirm I will never see you again. Chaii Death!, you snatched our son from us . From you, all my talents of catering for a child were seen.I pray your death will brake the York of difficulties in your family. Gone too soon son but RIP my Love. Be a garden angel to all your Loved ones you left behind.

Mangie Ngwen Tecla

 

My kid bro, how far nah? I can’t believe we will never say this again, when you were younger, you never could smile easily with a wide open mouth, when you grew older, you never could stop smiling with a wide open mouth, you were full of life and happiness, you were a true example of patience even at the point of death. You were quite through all your pain, what really happened finally that no one could even hear of it??? There’s still gateau in the house. You need to eat it and hold someone’s hand for it to enter their stomach. I miss you bro, in our hearts for ever.

You left me speechless my son. Words cannot express how I feel about your departure. Only God knows why and will heal our broken hearts. Your memories will forever remain with us. Rest well my own Fredo, Bro We do how

A STAR TOO BRIGHT BUT WENT TOO SOON

Dear Fred, your laughter, warmth, the love you knew,

Now memories, we hold them true.

We see your smile every dawn, 

A whispered hint that’s never gone.

Though you’ve moved on to realms anew,

Our love remains forever true.

In dreams we meet, our spirits fly to a secret space,

Where we say hi. You were a gift, in life so brief,

Yet in our hearts, you’re beyond grief.

Adieu son, until we meet again.

Mawum Fuh J. Che 

 

“Fred, I find myself constantly looking back at the last message you sent, hoping for another one. You had so much ahead of you and so many plans yet to fulfill. While we may never fully understand why, we take comfort in knowing you’re in a better place now. Until we meet again, Bro.”

Alvina and Kids (Jesse, Joy, Janelle & Joey)

 

Dear Fred, I lastly saw you when you were a student. I knew you had a bright future, and you have proved it. Now the Lord has taken you by His side where you have no more worries. Intercede for your parents, kids, wife, and family. Fare yee well to glory land

Auntie Prisca Suh

 

Bro, we do how? You were so kind and calm and no matter the situation you always try to respect and support all It’s so hard to say goodbye. 

Neba Rene Ambe

 

Fred, our hearts still ache with sadness, and tears still flow. Yet we trust in God’s plan, for He reminds us there is a time for everything. May your soul rest peacefully in the Lord.”
