On March 4th 2020, my beloved father Mr. David Owusu gained his beautiful angel wings. A piece of my heart was shattered and broken when we said farewell. God gifted dad to the world and the Owusu family. My family and I are utterly devastated, confused, numb, hurting and still in shock. I am devastated beyond words and my tears continue to pour. I know that life for us will never be the same again as we wake up today to a new dawn, a new reality and a new chapter without the head of our family. Life just is not fair sometimes. I thank God daily for blessing me with an inspiring, amazing and wonderful father who is and was my Superhero. My father showered me with love my whole life and always supported me in all that I did regardless of how high my ambitions were, dad always believed in me. He inspired me to be independent, strong, and ambitious and always strive for excellence. He was my first teacher and he taught me so many life lessons that I am forever grateful. Thank you Pops for putting up with me for 41 years. I wanted us to have more time and to create more fantastic memories. I have always captured our memories since I could control a camera. I can never ever forget all our great adventures and explorations. From my birth, when you saved my life to my graduation at the university of Nebraska to all our birthdays and athletic events we celebrated and the list just goes on. You were my biggest cheer leader I will miss our banter, your love, your kindness, your support, your directness, your humility and your simplicity to life. You lived your life unapologetically. You lived your life to the fullest. You were always honest and kept things real. I am thankful that God gave us some brief time for you to meet your newest granddaughter, baby Paradise. I will tell her and master Prince all about their wonderful gran daddy and how much you loved them both and all the grandchildren that you helped to care for. we are always grateful for your patience and dedication to our next generation of Owusu's . They will never ever forget you and trust legacy and me through Prince- David your name will live on always. Prince is already an international young boy. I cannot imagine that you will never see them grow and shine brighter making you all super proud. You were my premier bodyguard, my no. 1 and I know you will continue to guide me and shine your light on me through the cloudy and brighter days ahead. The entire family from the UK to Ghana to Australia to the USA are feeling your loss. It feels surreal, You will be sorely missed. I always told you how much I loved you right until the last moments and I know how much you loved me and all your children. We will always celebrate your life always and we are so proud of you. I know you were insanely proud of me, Lloyd and Sandra. I promise to look after our wonderful mother and support her in the difficult days ahead. It will be hard as we have to accept your passing. Your love story of 50 plus years is exceptional and you will find comfort that mum will always have a powerful network of family and friends to support her. We will have to stay strong always for each other and seek guidance from God who controls all things. Daddy you fought a brave fight and will always be a fighter. Your indomitable spirit will continue. Daddy, I love you so much and always will for the rest of my life on this earth. Daddy, I thank God for choosing me to be your first born daughter. Daddy, thank you for being the best daddy i could ask for. You were simply the best You can now sleep peacefully in paradise like the great King you are until we meet again. Love you always Your daughter Lesley xxx
