Below is a statement by Invisible Borders
Trans-African Photographers Organisation:
Ray Daniels Okeugo
1980 – 2013
It is with deep regret that we announce the
passing on of our friend, brother and member
Ray Daniels Okeugo. This incident took place
on the evening of Friday the 25th of October
2013, in Lagos, Nigeria. Until the mentioned
day, he was a founding member of Invisible
Borders Trans-African Photographers
Organisation, and has been behind every
success of the Organisation's activities since
its inception. As a photographer and an actor
in the Nollywood film industry, he will be
remembered for his unquenchable energy. He
exudes the demeanour of "the last man
standing", and this goes a long way to
highlight our shock at his sudden exit from
this world, after just a brief illness. Everyone
who knew him can attest to the fact that he
carried within him an undying urge towards
selflessness. He made himself readily
available and good to go no matter the
situation. We will miss him everyday
henceforth, and nothing will ever be the same
with his indefinite absence. But in all, we will
hold on to the good memories we shared with
him. We may have lost him, but he has not
lost his place in us – his legacy will be upheld
by this organisation which benefited
immensely from his nature always to give.
Our heartfelt condolence goes out to his
family and friends, and we wish them
strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.
Ray, we wish you a pleasant journey
onwards.
