Actress Dakore Egbuson-Akande has shared a personal message following the burial of her father, weeks after she and her brother, actor Timini Egbuson, announced his death.
In a post on Instagram on Sunday, Dakore shared photos from the burial alongside a message reflecting on the family’s loss and the events surrounding the funeral.
“When we laid Dad to rest…..🕊️🕊️🕊️✨✨✨
It’s been a difficult task to post these photos but here we are.
I’m still coming to terms with the cruel fact that I won’t see my Dad for a while 🥲💔❤️🩹but I’m comforted by the fact that we will all meet eventually at God’s appointed time.
We wore white and blue to honor Dad as that was his signature, I sang the opening and his favorite hymn, we had 2 services on the same day- one in Austin 🇺🇸 where he lived for many years and in Lagos 🇳🇬 where he made his name and lived for many years also.
I made a playlist of some of his favorite songs which we danced to at the reception in his honor.
I’m so glad that so many people came to support our family and I thank you all my lovely #dakorians🦅💫💋 for all your prayers and heartfelt love.”
The actress said the burial ceremonies were held in both Austin, Texas, where their father lived for many years, and Lagos, where he also spent a significant part of his life.
The family had earlier announced his death at the start of the year, drawing condolence messages from colleagues and fans. The burial marked the final rites for the late patriarch, with family members, friends and associates present to support the Egbuson family during the mourning period.
Dakore’s post comes days after the burial as she continues to reflect publicly on the loss and the memories shared with their father.
