Tribute - Chris Che Neba
It is difficult to belief that you are no more pa John. You were the heartbeat of our family, the gentle force that kept us grounded. You gave us roots though you raised us in a small community at Esimbi. You were always ready to help others using the least of your ability and resources. As a "Jack of all trades," you excelled in everything you did including blacksmithing, tailoring, shoe mending, hunting, not to mention other petty businesses. Above all, you served God whole heartedly till the end. You taught me the value of handwork, and tenacity.
Even in your last days, your quiet strength never wavered. You faced the end with so much dignity and grace. You showed us that a life well lived is one filled with love, kindness and integrity. Dad, I promise to forever thread through your footsteps. I will forever miss you but I am consoled knowing that you are at a better place. Rest on dad.

As we say goodbye to Pa John let us never forget him and the light and love that he shined upon us. Even though he is not here physically may we remember his good spirit and forever carry it on with us.

Love brings us closer and death carries us further apart, but through memories, we are able to feel love at any distance, time, or moment. Grandpa, may my memories never fade so I can feel your love at any moment, time, or distance. May the memories of you ring in my head forever, so your love is never ending.

On this day we honor Pa John, a man who meant the world to us. Grandpa was the pillar of our family, always there with a kind word, a gentle smile, and a story that could brighten any day. His wisdom and guidance helped shape who we are, and his love was a constant source of comfort and strength.
The lessons he taught us about love, kindness, and resilience will stay with us forever. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the memories we cherish and the values he instilled in us. Grandpa, you have left an indelible mark on our hearts. We will carry your legacy forward, striving to live in a way that honors your incredible life. Rest in peace, Grandpa. You are deeply missed and forever loved.

Pa John Bafut, I’m not sure if I should address you as “Pa John Amelika” in your own words. You were a father-in-law but more like a dad to me. You showered me and everyone with so much love yet were still able to guide us through gentle discipline. Your grandson Fred, “Bro we do How,” who departed from us three days after you, portrayed such an exemplary life: soft-spoken, kind, humble, and always cheerful. It is heartbreaking to see you go with such a legacy, but I am consoled knowing that you responded to God’s whisper to be home with Him. I will miss your voice, laughter, jokes, hugs, dancing, and sarcasm. We will hold on to those good memories, knowing they will keep us going during difficult moments as we hope to meet again one day. If you are watching us now, know that we will always love and remember you. RIP.
