Raymond Dokpesi, the founder of DAAR Communications, has been laid to rest in his hometown of Agenebode in the Etsako East Local Government Area (LGA) of Edo State.

Family, loved ones, friends, and well-wishers converged on the town for a week of activities that came to an end with a funeral Friday to celebrate the life of the prominent politician, and chairman of DAAR Communications.

The town and its people, along with several travelling from all around the country, came by amid the burial rites, which included the service of songs held at his former residence.

The funeral mass gave well-wishers, family members, and friends, including dignitaries from various fields of endeavour, another opportunity to pray for the repose of the late icon’s soul even as the officiating priest reminded all of the need to remember a life after death.

Following the homily, a procession, and motorcade accompanied the corpse of the deceased to his final resting place.

Emotions could not be reined in when the time for goodbyes came.

At a reception for guests, more accolades poured in for the man whose life and times many had come out to honour. For his family, the loss weighed heavily.

One prayer on the lips of loved ones and numerous beneficiaries was that their beloved patriarch and benefactor received the rewards of his labour from the almighty.
