Mr. Gboluwaga Fawole

Gboluwaga Olaleye Fawole was born on January 15, 1993 to Dr. Alaba and Mrs. Tinuke Fawole at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta, Georgia. He was the third born child out of their four children. Gbolu was almost a perfect child, and almost a perfect human being. He was a gentleman to the core. He was affectionately called “Gifted Gbolu” by his maternal grandmother. He was fondly called “Smiley” by his friends and “The Gbol” by his uncles and aunts. As a child, Gbolu attended Magnolia Elementary in Lanham, Maryland for most of his primary school years. His family eventually moved to the state of Georgia where he attended middle and high school. Gbolu graduated from Grayson High School in 2011 and then matriculated into Georgia Southern University the same year. He received his Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in Exercise Science in 2015. Determined to further his education, Gbolu went on to attend the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences - Miami, Florida campus. After much diligence and prayer, Gbolu received his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree in 2020. As a professional, Gbolu practiced geriatric Physical Therapy in North Carolina and also in Dallas, Texas until his sudden and untimely demise on December 15, 2022 - exactly one month shy of his 30th birthday. Gbolu was fun, loving, generous, thoughtful, selfless, cool, calm, pleasant, peaceful, always smiling, and loved the Lord. Gbolu was an athlete; a sportsman through-and-through who played almost every sport including basketball, tennis, volleyball and swimming. He enjoyed working out, traveling, participating in church activities, playing board games and spending time with his family. Gbolu is survived by his parents: Dr. Alaba & Mrs. Tinuke Fawole. His siblings: Fiyin Fawibe, Ope Daniyan, and Damisi Fawole. His brothers-in-law: Tosin Fawibe and Adeola Daniyan. His nephew: Tosin Fawibe Jr., and niece: Ilerioluwa Daniyan. He is also survived by his grandparents: Elder Enoch & Mrs. Abike Dare, and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins from all over Nigeria, Europe and the US. Even though we feel that he was taken from us prematurely, and although our lives will never be the same again, we will always cherish the fond memories we shared together with Gbolu, and he will forever remain in our hearts. Gboluwaga Olaleye Fawole was a precious and rare gem. He was the purest in our clan. He is gone way too soon, but his legacy will never be forgotten! Rest In Peace! Rest in Power! ‘Til we meet to part no more on that resurrection day! Sun re o, Ayinde! Adieu!!
