American gospel musician Travis Greene has condoled with Pastor Paul Adefarasin over the death of Chris Okafor, a drummer with the House on the Rock church.
The 39-year-old expressed his condolences in the comment section of the post announcing Chris’ death on Adefarasin’s Instagram page.
“Prayers up for you all,” Travis, who has performed at House on the Rock’s annual The Experience concert, wrote.
Nigerian singer Nikki Laoye and reality TV star Maria Chike also condoled Adefarasin and his church over the drummer’s death.
“Rest in Power, Chris 💔💔 you will be #ForeverMissedForeverLoved. This really hurts,” Nikki wrote while Maria simply posted three white dove emojis.
Adefarasin confirmed in his Instagram post on Monday that Chris slumped during church service the previous day and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
“We lost one of our own, and our hearts ache for a young man who died in his prime.
“Chris Okafor was full of life, his understanding of music and how beats make your worship experience so much better is a talent that he will be remembered for. Chris served with us in the music ministry arm of HOTR for over 12 years, and while serving, on Sunday, he slumped and was immediately rushed to our in-suite clinic for first aid before being rushed to the hospital.
“Since the news of his passing, we have been reflecting on the moments we had with him. We were so proud of all that he had achieved and we knew that he had so much more to manifest as a son of God.
“To his wife, Destiny, and life partner, we put our arms around you, knowing that you hurt so deeply. However, be assured that you are not alone, and we will get through this together. To Papa, his aged Dad, who must feel the void so deeply, we commiserate; we hope that the memories of Chris will be a constant reminder of his purpose here on earth,” Adefarasin’s post read in parts.
The deceased was 36 years old.
