Edwin Daniel Ndoko: A Shining Light in Our SOBAN Family

It is with profound sadness that we remember our beloved brother, Edwin Daniel Ndoko, whose passing has left an unfillable void in our SOBAN community.

As our "official" photographer, Edwin's lens captured the essence of our conventions, preserving memories that we will cherish forever. His exceptional talent, creativity, and passion for photography were evident in every frame.

But Edwin's impact went far beyond his remarkable photography skills. He was a loving and caring individual who embodied the true SOBAN spirit. His presence at our conventions was a constant source of comfort, inspiration, and joy.

Edwin's love for SOBA America was palpable, and he lived and breathed our values. He was a shining example of what it means to be a true SOBAN, and his legacy will continue to inspire us.

I also remember Edwin's unwavering support and enthusiasm during my own run for office. As one of my top supporters and campaign surrogates, he brought his signature energy and passion to every aspect of our campaign. His infectious smile and boundless enthusiasm inspired countless others to join our cause.

Beyond his many contributions to our community, Edwin was also a soccer enthusiast whose love for Arsenal was only rivaled by my own love for Manchester United. Our friendly arguments about the beautiful game are memories I will always treasure. Though we may have disagreed on the pitch, our friendship and mutual respect remained unwavering.

I will truly miss Mola Ndoko's kindness, energy, and passion. His presence in my life was a blessing, and I am grateful for the time we had together.

Though you may be gone, dear big brother Mola Ndoko, your memory will live on in our hearts. We miss you dearly, but we take comfort in the knowledge that your spirit will continue to guide us.

Rest in peace, dear brother. Your legacy will never be forgotten. May your family and loved ones find strength and solace during this difficult time.

You will always be in our prayers and memories.

Sobanly,
Dr. Bertrand Fote
