Elder Felix Okoli Udochukwukanma Ezeonwu was born on 18 March 1929 into the humble family of the late Mr. Joseph Ezekoye Ezeonwu of Umuemefolo, Umuezeudu Kindred, Okpo Village, Ekwulobia, in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State. His mother, the late Mrs. Esther O. Ezeonwu, hailed from the Ezenwa family of Abogwume Village, Ekwulobia.
He attended C.M.S. Central School, Ekwulobia, where he was a member of the school band and, in 1942, passed Standard Six with Distinction. He then travelled to Onitsha to learn the trading business under the late Elder Benjamin Ofojebe of Ichida, where he stood out as a sharp, quick-witted and dutiful young man.

TRANSITION INTO GLORY
Held in love.
Remembered always.
Elder Felix O. Ezeonwu never stopped trusting in the Lord throughout his journey of life. On 1 October 2026, at the age of 97, he passed into glory.
After overseeing a minor repair with a plumber, he took his breakfast, picked up his Bible, lay down in his room and joined the saints. To God be all the glory for a life well spent.
The eagle has perched. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
