Ozor Luke Odonwodo, the father of actor Junior Pope, has passed away, one year after his son’s death.

Junior Pope’s wife, Jennifer Awele, shared the news in an Instagram post, revealing that her father-in-law died at the age of 80.

She described the octogenarian as a loving and devoted father who lived a fulfilling life, always prioritizing his family and reaping the rewards of his hard work.

The late actor’s wife also prayed for strength for the family to endure, while bidding farewell to both father and son.

“Barely one month ago, I was with you in Enugu. Some days later, Reme (my mother-in-law) called, asked how me and her boys were doing, and then said that her husband had gone to meet my husband.

“I screamed, but had to quickly pull myself together as she started crying after I screamed.

“Ozor Luke Odonwodo is one man that genuinely loved me, and I’m so thankful I got to spend time with him even though short unknowingly in his last days.

“He passed as an octogenarian who lived a good life, paid his dues, sacrificed a lot for his family and loved ones, and happily reaped the fruits of his labour.

“Reme, Nwanyiomam, this is actually a lot within one year, but I pray God gives you and us all the strength we need to keep pushing no matter how hard it seems.

“Adieu father and son. You are sorely missed, but we hold onto the resurrection promises in John 5:28-29 and Acts 24:15.

“Ozor Luke Odonwodo, Jnr Pope Odonwodo may your gentle souls rest in perfect peace till we meet to part no more,” she wrote.
