Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 19, 2012.

GREENSBORO - Dr. Olusegun Amao, 37, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, November 15, 2012.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 3 p.m. at Hanes Lineberry Sedgefield Chapel with Rev. Don Miller officiating. Interment will follow in Guilford Memorial Park.

Olu was born in Nigeria on September 18, 1975 to Elkanah and Mary Amao. He graduated from the University of Ibadan where he was awarded the prize for the best student in surgery and the College of Medicine prize for the most outstanding student. He proceeded to the United States where he had his residency training in Internal Medicine and later a Fellowship in Nephrology at the SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY. He was a practicing Nephrologist in High Point, NC and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.

He was a member of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, NY and then Westover Church, Greensboro, NC. Olu loved the Lord and was actively involved in missions support. He loved spending time with his family, playing with his kids and discussing politics. He was a great inspiration to all who knew him and will be truly missed by friends and the medical community.

Olusegun is survived by his wife Dr. Enobong Amao; two children, Folu and Toba; his parents, four brothers, nieces, nephews and many colleagues and friends.

A visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.

Concerning Segun…We are still at a loss for words. Your gentle smile and your quiet brilliance will not be forgotten. Dear Eno, May God be to you a light continually, May He hold you dear when you are lonely and May He cheer you when you are down. He will never leave you.

i still recall all our growing up years,when we'll pack ourselves in your dad's car on the way to school, all the times we used to wait for daddy to pick us up after school and we will play our hearts away. i remember how proud you made me feel when i attended your graduation from the medical school and you were packing all the prices. tears roll down my eyes as i write this. it's harder that i didnt have the oportunity to say good bye. i regret not checking you during my last visit to North Carolina. you were a brother and a friend. you will greatly be missed. we will continue to take solace in the fact that you are resting with your king. farewell brother.

Segun, you were my friend, no, my brother. My childhood is not complete without you. Even when separated by time and distance, in my heart, you were still my brother. I planned a surprise visit for 2013, but now i have to wait till we meet to part no more. Sleep well, my friend.

Your grace, good humor, and manners were a light to everybody around you. I am better for having known you for the short time you worked in High Point. May the Lord bless and keep your family and loved ones secure in the knowledge that you will be able to meet on the other side in that great last day.

November 20, 2012

My sweet in-law, words can not express how much we are going to miss you but my only consolation is that you are gone to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. I know we shall meet on the last day. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen
