The mother of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, Evangelist Mrs. Jane Mmerechi Ekubo-Okwaraeke, has penned an emotional tribute to her son, saying she still longs for his calls, messages, encouragement, and prayers weeks after his passing.

The tribute, included in the funeral pamphlet distributed at the actor’s burial in Arochukwu, Abia State, on June 17 and 18, 2026, was titled “A Tribute to My Exceptional Son I Love You Till Tomorrow.”

Ekubo died on May 11, 2026, at the age of 40, following complications from advanced metastatic kidney cancer after what his family described as a brief but courageous battle.

In the tribute, the grieving mother described her son as her joy and pride, saying he lived an impactful life devoted to God and humanity.

“Losing such a precious son is a pain beyond human understanding, and my heart aches deeply.

I will forever cherish the beautiful memories we shared. You remain forever treasured in my heart,” she wrote.

She also recalled that her son had once told her that knowing Jesus was the greatest gift she had ever given him, and expressed gratitude that he remained devoted to his faith until the very end.

She described the late actor as resilient, humble, and generous, and said the numerous tributes pouring in since his death had brought comfort to the family.

Ekubo is survived by his wife, Anwuli, his mother, and other family members.
