Stephen’s spirit continues to live in the hearts of his friends and family here at Queck & Associates. We loved him for his brilliant intellect, amazing wit, his off-the-wall humour and for being an incessant jokester.
Stephen never wanted to stop learning and was always reading to add to his knowledge and grow, both professionally and as a person. He always said he was a “work in progress”. For those of us that called Stephen a friend, mentor, and colleague let his memory remind us to find our passion, to never stop learning, and to always find the funny side of life.
Stephen continues to inspire us and is missed by all.
Always in our hearts.
Ayokunle Odekunle
Although Ayo’s time with us was cut short, his legacy will continue to live on. His courage, determination, and unwavering spirit will forever inspire us who had the privilege of knowing him. Ayo was never one to live life by the book. Our friend believed in doing things that made him happy and seeing others happy. He believed in making friends that impact his life.
In his words, his greatest fear was a fear of failure and inadequacy; it was this fear that he lived his life conquering. He felt that conquering that fear meant he had lived a worthy life. He had LIVED, not just existed! His request was that this be written on his epitaph:
“Herein lies the remains of Ayokunle Odekunle who lived because he conquered fear”
Ayo we are smiling with you and raise our glass to you.
