Media personality Denrele Edun has paid late Nollywood actor, Alexx Ekubo a touching tribute
He revealed that one of the things he finds hardest to accept is that the actor was still looking out for others while battling his own health challenges.
Denrele said he recently listened again to the last voice note Alexx sent him from his hospital bed and has struggled to come to terms with the actor’s passing.
He explained that what hurts the most is knowing Alexx was dealing with issues privately yet still found the strength to check on him and offer words of comfort.
He wrote;
“This is the last Voice-Note ALEXX sent me (from his sick bed).
And that’s the part I’m struggling with.
Because while he was carrying battles I knew nothing about, he still found the strength to reach out and comfort me.
That’s who ALEXX was.”
“2010 I met ALEXX whilst judging the Mr Nigeria pageant.
This ambitious 1st Runner-Up came to me determined to be more visible than the winner.
Trust ALEX…
He didn’t just get seen.
He became unforgettable.”
“After we landed, everyone was expressing their vexation at the Production logistics and all.
And then Alexx walked to us, Frail looking but pacifying everyone.
Cracking jokes.
Lifting spirits.
Making sure everyone was okay.
Looking back now, that was his superpower.”
“Those silly nicknames. Those private jokes.
That’s what d.eath steals.
Not just the person.
But the voice that called your name differently from everyone else.”
“Today, they lay my friend to rest.
And somewhere, I choose to believe Goldie has already found him.
The music is loud.
The laughter is endless.
And they’re both dancing #Skibobo while the rest of us stand here missing them terribly.
Rest well, ALEXX.”
