“Six months without you.
Six months ago today, I received the most heartbreaking news, one that left me in complete shock.
I still remember hearing that one of the nicest souls I had the privilege of knowing, Alex, was gone.
Honestly, nothing has quite been the same since that day.
Losing you made me see life differently and reminded me just how fragile life can be.
I never imagined that someone with such a beautiful soul, such warmth and such a wonderful presence could leave this world so soon.
Some people come into our lives and leave footprints that time can never erase. You were one of those people, my friend.
Chief Ikuku, one thing I know for sure is that you were deeply loved, and you will be remembered forever.
I’m not usually one to make posts like this, but I couldn’t let this day pass without saying something about someone whose existence meant so much.
Once again, to you, my beloved friend, Alex Ekubo.
My heart still struggles to accept that you’re no longer here. I find comfort in the beautiful memories you left behind.
Keep resting peacefully, beautiful soul.
Your light may have gone out here on Earth, but the memories of you will forever shine in the hearts of those who knew and loved you.”
The tributes have highlighted the impact Alex had on the people around him, with friends continuing to celebrate the memories and moments they shared with the actor.
