Now there is in store for him the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to him on that day…” (2 Timothy 4:7-8).

The message concluded with a prayer of thanks, extending blessings to those who offered prayers, support, and comfort during this difficult time. “May the good Lord richly bless you for your love, prayers, and support,” the family added.

George Walton Ekundayo Gilpin was a deeply respected figure, and his passing has left a profound impact on many. The family also offered a final prayer for his soul, saying, “May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.”
