Columba Emeka Onyeanu passed away on August 27, 2025, after a long and courageous battle following a massive stroke in 2023. He was surrounded by his loving family in Omaha, NE, when he peacefully passed away.
Columba is remembered as a man of great strength, kindness, and unwavering dedication to his family and community. His legacy will live on through his wife, Jovita, and his four children: Joy, Benita, Sarah, and Augustine, all of whom will carry his memory with them forever.
Over the past year and a half, Columba fought bravely to regain his health with the support of his family, who stood by him every step of the way. Despite the challenges he faced, Columba's spirit remained steadfast.
