Our beloved transitioned on Thursday, October 29, 2020 at the St. John Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma after a brief illness; his children were by his side, along with his companion and loving wife Judee Baxter of 40 years.

Also mourning his loss are his siblings: Amanda, Jesse, Esther, Wede aka Fatu, Susanna aka Whylay, Hiemie,Veronica aka Jwalay. Many cousins from his only aunty Ida who preceded him, and also from his only uncle Joshua who also preceded him.

EB was a devout and committed servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A commitment he professed and claimed without wavering from the genesis of his life from the training he received from his adorable mother Matilda, affectionately known as Teta, and grandmother, Rebecca, affectionately known as Sis Bec.
