🤍💖This is the MESSAGE I wrote on his online Tribute Wall:

I will always remember you Brother. I'm so sorry for my attitude while working with you on When Magazine. God blessed me with an amazing opportunity with you; most cherished to be your close Brother in Christ and you my MENTOR! You taught me so much Brother! I'm saddened to hear about your passing! I wish we could have spoke one more time before you left for Glory, but I know now I will see you again in Heaven one day! You taught me so much! I could never thank you enough! I'm running Eternal Affairs Media (a name you gave) for 12 years now! Thank you for the business opportunity but most importantly the personal opportunity to know you! You were always so kind,

humble and patient with me, teaching me so much even when I hadn't grown up yet, still had 1-foot in the world, and had a cocky, arrogant attitude! I pray you'll forgive me and God forgives me too! To your family, Mr. and Mrs. Deneve, may God richly bless you! Your son touched so many live including mine! He will live on forever in my memory and the media ministry I currently run!
