EZEUDO GOES HOME; FUNERAL TO BE STREAMED ONLINE.
HE LIVES ON: CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A LOVING, PEACEFUL & HONORABLE MAN.
Dr. Augustine Ezenta Ezeilo made his heavenly transition on March 2, 2021 in Enugu, Nigeria after a brief illness. He was aged 72 years. While his family are saddened by his sudden departure, we are consoled by the impactful and exemplary life that he led.
Dr. Ezeilo was the first Medical Doctor in his community of Imezi-Owa, Ezeagu LGA, Enugu State. He had an illustrious career as a General Practitioner providing compassionate and competent care to family, friends and communities both rural and urban. Subsequently, he obtained a Master’s Degree in Public Health and served honorably as the Director of Public Health Enugu State from 2001 up until his retirement in 2009. Until his death, he was the chairman of Umudim Imezi-Owa Council of Chiefs. He was a selfless, honorable, affable and good-natured man, which was reflected in his chieftaincy title of Ezeudo. He championed education, along with personal and professional development; thus, he was a mentor and life coach to many, whom he counseled and gave salient advice. He was approachable, humble and well-liked by those who were opportune to know him. He was privileged to complete a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where he visited Holy Sites central to the history of Christendom.
Dr. Ezeilo is survived by his wife Professor Joy Ngozi Ezeilo, OON (Professor of Law) and his three children – Mr. Chidulue Ezeilo, Dr. Nnenna Ezeilo and Ms. Onyinye Ezeilo. He was blessed with two grandchildren – Ezra and Adaeze. He is also survived by a daughter in law Alena Ezeilo, his sister, two brothers, several nieces, nephews and cousins. Farewell to a caring, diplomatic, amicable and accomplished man. His family looks forward to having relatives, friends, colleagues, and well-wishers join them in celebrating a life well-lived.
Ezeudo, we will strive to carry on your great legacy, especially that of integrity, kindness and humility.
