HAPPY POST-HUMOUS BIRTHDAY, JOE ANATUNE! (1960 – 2022)
By Christian ABURIME
Today marks what would have been the 64th birthday of the remarkable Joe Anatune, a man whose memory lingers in the corridors of our hearts, undiminished by the passage of time.
Two years have slipped away since his sudden departure from our midst, yet his presence remains palpable, his influence enduring.
Joe, fondly called “Big Joe,” was not just a figure in our lives; he was an angel of light, a gentle giant whose impact stretched far beyond the boundaries of his physical presence.
In the professional arena, Joe’s name reverberated with the resonance of excellence. As the Executive Director of Dawn Functions, CEO of B3 Communications, and foremost Apostle of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, his contributions were nothing short of spectacular.
Under his stewardship, teams flourished, individuals thrived, and aspirations soared. Joe was not just a leader; he was a mentor, a visionary whose wisdom and passion inspired those around him to strive for greatness.
His legacy of nurturing talent, fostering growth, and championing excellence lives on in the lives he touched and the organisations he shaped.
Beyond his professional achievements, Joe was a paragon of humanity, approaching life with a rare blend of grace and resilience.
His heart was always open, his words always infused with sincerity and depth. In moments of doubt or difficulty, Joe’s reassuring presence served as an anchor, grounding those around him with clarity and strength.
Today, two years after his passing, as we celebrate his birthday in absentia, we carry forward Joe’s spirit of compassion, his commitment to excellence, and his belief in the transformative power of kindness.
Happy Post-humous birthday, Big Joe.
Your legacy lives on, shining on our paths and inspiring us to reach for greatness.
Happy birthday sir!
On behalf all Joe’s Protege, friends and Colleagues
