“He died a holy man, he was one of those CMA diocesan presidents I talk with everyday, he was a lovely brother, father and friend. He brought the candle, light the candle, we have to keep the candle burning upon all the sacri-
fice he did because of the love.” Okie Johnson said.
He however urged other CMA members to copy his example, while emphasising that CMA will organise a befitting burial that will reflect his personality for his love and ambition for the group. Okie opined that late Ngong
Evaristus is in heaven interceding on their behalf.

“The only thing I can tell the family is that, we are proud of him, to us he died as a saint. He has shown us he was really a member of St. Joseph, because he died peacefully without any stress. Imagine having been with fellow christians and the Bishop during meeting in Buea and later comes back to Limbe to celebrate his birthday organised by his children and he died, indeed he his in heaven”, Okie Johnson stated.
