The Chief-of-Staff and Chief Private
Secretary to the General Overseer (Pastor Enoch Adeboye), Pastor
Adetokunbo Abayomi Olorunnimbe is dead.
According to a statement announcing
his demise, Olorunnimbe died on Saturday, March 30th 2019, at the age of
60.
His death was confirmed in Lagos by
his son, Olaolu Olorunnimbe, who also revealed that burial arrangements will be
announced soon.
Tokunbo Olorunnimbe was born on May
26th, 1958 in the United Kingdom to Ishola Adekunle Olorunnimbe and late
Simisola Adetoun Olorunnimbe.
The statement reads “Tokunbo was
deeply devoted to the life of the church. He served in many ways at the
Redeemed Christian Church of God: He served as the pastor of several parishes
and was pastor of RCCG City of Palms. As Private Secretary to the General
Overseer, he was a highly trusted and respected member of the church. He never
wanted praise for any of his labour of love, but always saw his service to the
church, to the community, and to his family as a way of sharing his love for
God.
” Tokunbo was trained as a lawyer in
the University of Lagos and Cambridge University. He was stimulated by cerebral
debates and was a man who was always up for the adventure of life. But no
matter what he was doing, he enjoyed his time with his family – including his
church family – more than anything.
“Tokunbo Olorunnimbe is survived by
his wife Dr Modupe Olorunnimbe, their children: Folasayo Williams, Laolu
Olorunnimbe and son in law Bode Williams. His legacy of love and life lives on
in his surviving grandchildren: Olasheni and Oluwateniola Williams.
“Tokunbo Olorunnimbe is also
survived by his father Hon. Justice I. A. Olorunnimbe, OON, brothers, sisters,
aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.”
