Your Nsikak Obong

Dear Aunt Gracie and Family
We’re thinking of you during this very sad time. We remember meeting Jimmy for the first time and he was so welcoming and chilled; it felt like we had met before. Every time we met him since then he always had a smile on his face and was always checking to be sure everyone was comfortable.
We can’t begin to imagine the impact of this new reality on the family.
We pray that God will give you all peace and strength during this time and comfort you all with the knowledge that what you have once enjoyed (Jimmy’s company) you can never lose and who you love deeply becomes a part of you.
May the fond memories of Jimmy bring you all comfort during this painful time and may God rest his soul.
Sending our love

Jimmy Words cannot describe the loss I feel saying goodbye to you. A Golden heart ❤️ stopped beating. Hard working hands at rest,
It broke our hearts💔to see you go. God only takes the BEST.
May your Gentle Soul Rest in Peace.
Amen

Dear family,

My deepest condolences in the loss of your beloved Jimmy. I will always remember Jimmy with kindness and warmth. His ever stoic demeanour radiated strength and wisdom.

Our times spent together were always happy especially all my visits with Jesse, especially as a baby. It was an absolute privilege to spend the weeks with you mummy and Jimmy/Nana Grace and grandad Jimmy in Jesse's first few months of his life, I will never forget the love and the support you gave us. We thoroughly enjoyed all our visits to Ireland to see you and Jesse will never forget the Christmas in Spain with Nana, granddad and auntie Mimi <3

May God give you strength and light in your times of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love
Anna and Jesse xx

Dear Jimmy,
I’m deeply heartbroken. You were not just a great dad and a super grand dad to my kids, but also my guide, my strength, and my biggest source of love and wisdom. Your kindness, warmth, and unwavering support helped shaped me into who I am. While my heart aches with this loss, I find comfort in the beautiful memories and the values you instilled in me. I believe you will always be with me in spirit.
Rest in peace, Dad you will be forever loved and missed.

Sorry for your loss of your husband grace and family may he rest in peace 🙏

Dear lord I pray today that those who are grieving you help begin mending their broken hearts and give them peace and comfort amen.

So sad and shocked to hear of Jimmy's passing. He was one of the most caring and considerate people, who always thought of others feelings before his own.

He had unshakeable faith which really showed in how he treated others with a selfless respect and understanding of their needs, before his own.

He always brought others first.

He had kind words to say about everyone he met.  He loved to visit family and acquaintances and he was always a joyful visitor.

His family and friends were so precious to him, as were all the people he helped and worked with throughout his amazing life. If he could help someone by talking to them or by giving them a helping hand to achieve their goals, he was there for them.  

Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to all your family and relations and to your lovely wife Grace and her family and her relatives.  Jimmy always spoke highly of all of you Grace.   He was so passionate about really caring for and protecting those he loved. 

He will be sorely missed by everyone he encountered throughout his life.

Jimmy, you will be missed forever.   May your gentle soul rest in the peace of God.  


John, Joan and Christopher Hughes

Dear Jimmy, you were a kind and dear friend and kept us all smiling.

We will miss you terribly.

Sincere sympathy to Gracie and all the family, hope you can find comfort. Jimmy is in good hands now.

Jimmy was such a warm unassuming kind person and I was always pleased to see him. It wasn’t often we met over the years due to living in different places but as a cousin he was open and caring when we did meet. There are so many memories of holidays in Warrenpoint in a caravan arranged by Aunt Ellie his mum and we were invited to stay even though there wasn’t room for us they all somehow made space for us. I was upset and moved to hear that Jimmy had passed away and having read the other condolences he was loved and respected by very many people. He will have his lovely kind mum to take care of him now as he passes from this world. Jimmy will be very missed. Love to all his family and siblings too. Cousin Geraldine xx

I love you Daddy. I have always loved you. I will always love you. Rest in peace. Please God be by your side. I am heartbroken; I have missed you. I will always miss you.
Love, your daughter, Elaine.

Jimmy (Dad), our plan after Christmas was to return home in February, but not under these circumstances. We embraced at the airport, and I didn’t realize it would be our final hug; otherwise, I would have held on a little longer.

Thank you for all the moments we shared. You never failed to share how proud you were of me. I will miss your random jokes and skits; your unique way of checking up on me. Although I would sometimes question your decisions in hopes that you put yourself first, the bottomline was that you cared so much for others, and that was just who you were.

I will miss the times you would buy delicious treats for Kyra, not only for her, but for both of you as you enjoyed eating together. You were a wonderful granddad to her and she misses you deeply, yet finds comfort in knowing she now has a guardian angel.

You were also an incredible husband. Mummy misses you immensely. She loved and protected you like a fragile egg, never wanting you to slip away but that’s her reality now. God’s plans are always bigger than ours. I pray that she finds the strength to get through this period, and that the love you two share remains everlasting.

I’ll miss you, and I’ll never forget you. Lucky angels, they now get to enjoy your company.

Great one may soul rest in perfect peace i always remember you🙏🌹

Jimmy we met in Minna in 1991 when l arrived as a young missionary to Kafin Koro and you were part of PW and you and others were so generous to us and l and all the various missionaries in that area throughout MINNA and beyond.
You often invited us as missionaries to a break and time to rest and relax either at PW Minna and later to Abuja.
Your kindness support and you oneness and so generosity to us and l as missionaries, was incredible and l will never forget that.
When l was building a new mission and clinic you arrived one Sunday evening with a fleet of P.W trucks with stones, cement, sand for to get our new project up and running.
Amazing Jimmy and besides been a great friend, you were always on the look out to the least, the last, and the lost, and those most in need .
Jimmy you were a true missionary and you shared so much in our ministry and work in those days and may you be welcomed and given your rightful place among the elect of God in your eternal home.
Thanks Jimmy rest in peace faithful servant until we meet again.
Chris Mc Guinness S.PS.

R.I.P. Jimmy

Dear Jimmy, It is very sad to say good bye to an inlaw that became a brother and friend. A very simple and kind hearted man. My family misses you and wishes you eternal rest with the Lord.

Dear Scullion Family,

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Papa Jimmy. My heart goes out to you and the entire family during this difficult time.

Papa Jimmy was an extraordinary leader and an exceptional human being. I had the privilege of working under his guidance, and I'll always cherish the memories and lessons learned.

Please accept my sincerest condolences. May you find strength and comfort in the love and support surrounding you. May Papa Jimmy's legacy continue to inspire and motivate us.

Rest in peace, Papa Jimmy.

“When we die, life is changed not ended.”
So sorry to hear of Jimmy’s death. There are many missionaries - particularly SMAs - who had the benefit of Jimmy’s expertise with buildings etc. in many parts of Nigeria. In particular the magnificent Church that is Holy Family Abuja where Fr Tomas Walsh SMA got so much support and help from Jimmy and other PW personnel.
Jimmy, no doubt St Therese of Lisieux, Patroness of the Missions, was at the gates of heaven to welcome you, a man who spent his life doing good for the benefit of others. You gave, without ever counting the cost!
Rest well in your new life in heaven.
Pray for us as we continue our pilgrim journey.

I spoke to Jimmy for the first time not so long ago, ironically at a funeral wake. What struck me most was how genuine, civil and engaging he was. Afterwards it's fair to say that I felt better for having met him, and when I saw him briefly one or two days later, he was as friendly as before. My sense is that people who knew him properly were fortunate to have a loyal friend, someone who exuded reliability and decency. Good company and a good person. I'm glad that I met him. Not too many people 'resonate' with me but he did.

Rest in peace Jimmy.

Rest in peace Jimmy..

Dear Jimmy,

you were a titan of integrity, intellect, and kindness. Your tireless work ethic inspired us all. But beyond your professionalism you were a good man, a devoted father, and a mentor who treated me like a son.

Your unwavering support and encouragement meant the world to me. You celebrated and backed my endeavors without hesitation.

Having shared many years of work and adventures in Africa, I cherish the memories of your passion and commitment to excellence. You set the bar high, Your legacy is one of kindness, generosity, and inspiration. You will be deeply missed, but your impact will live on. You are, and forever will be, a legend."

Rest in peace, dear Jimmy. My heartfelt condolences to your loved ones.

Our whole family knew and loved Jimmy when we got to know him in Nigeria.
We extend our condolences to the family.

Dear Jimmy,

You were the hardest-working and sharpest mind in the room—a good man and a wonderful father. You never failed to remind me that you considered me a son and that you loved me. You were always proud of my achievements, no matter how small, and you supported my education, my work, and my family without hesitation.

We did not speak much for a while but I am so sure that the moment you heard of any progress in my life, you celebrated it as if it were your own. You always instilled in me the value of honest, hard, and smart work—lessons I will carry with me forever. I will miss our messages, our check-ins, and the wisdom you shared so freely.

My greatest regret is not being able to visit you in Ireland, but I know you understood my reasons. I will always remember you, and I will always be grateful for the impact you had on my life. I pray God gives us all the strength to move on and remember you with smiles.

Rest well, Jimmy.

I am so sad to hear about the death of Jimmy, may he rest in peace. Sincere sympathy to his family and friends. Jimmy was a true gentleman. I knew him when he worked in Kagoro in Nigeria. He had a great sense of humour. He was kind and generous and worked hard. There is a new soul in heaven now.

May his soul rest in peace.I know the vacuum his demise has created in your life my sister Grace(Ekaimeime)and the family and how dificult it will be to fill it, but i pray the Lord almighty give you the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
I urge you and the rest of the family to be consoled by fact that he lived a fulfilled life.
Please accept myheartfelt condolence.

May you RIP Jimmy. Condolences to all family. Having worked with you for many years in Africa it always was a pleasure to see your hard working ways and a struggle at times for me to keep up with your highest standards. They just dont make people like that anymore. You will be greatly missed and as others have said you were and always will be a legend. Rest in peace my friend.

My Sincerest condolences to Mrs. Gracie and the Scullion Clan. You are all privileged to have met and known a gentleman who gave himself out to the wellbeing and cause of family, friends and strangers. he is a rare gift and an enduring testament of love, kindness and compassion. While you grief, take pride in the fact that you were blessed to have met a beautiful soul on your earthly journey; a gift many desires and never get and that in itself, is a blessing to be grateful for. Grief lightly as you keep his memories alive.
My condolences again
Edwin Essien(Aks)

I was deeply saddened to learn about Jimmy's passing auntie. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. He was a wonderful person who brought joy to everyone around him, and he will be truly missed.

I am sending you all my love and condolences auntie.

With deeply felt sadness we received the news of Jimmy’s passing. True gentlemen are so rare, and at a young age I was privileged to have met Jimmy Scullion. No matter the distance or the time between last meeting, he would be there for his friends or to help anyone he knew.
Our sincerest condolences to Jimmy’s Family and to all his Friends that miss him so much.

The news of the demise of Jimmy came to us in Nigeria as a huge shock.
The late Jimmy was very passionate and hard working. His construction work in Taraba State, Nigeria speaks eloquently of his knack for excellence.

On behalf of Obot's family(Grace's) in Nigeria, I pray that the good Lord will console the Scullions and grant them the fortitude to bear this sudden loss.

May the soul of Jimmy rest in peace while his legacies live on.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Aunty Grace. My heart goes out to and your family during this difficult time. I hope you find comfort in the love and support of those around you and may cherished memories of Jimmy bring you peace. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

The lord would keep the family and strengthen your children. It’s our prayer that you keep resting in the bossom of our lord Jesus christ till Resurrection morning .
Pst Femi Akinwale

We would want his family to know we are very saddened by Jimmys death he will be missed by all of his family and everyone that knew him it has been a very big shock God bless his soul RIP.

Sincere sympathy to Grace and the Scullion family. Jimmy was legendary in PW Nigeria in all that he had accomplished. Everyone that ever worked with him always spoke very highly of him. May he rest in peace

A very difficult time for you Grace and also for all those your Jimmy has left behind. Very hard to let go but remember it will not always feel like this. At peace now . Yvonne

Dear Grace and family, sending much love at the passing of Jimmy. May you know the Lord's strength and comfort. Ray, Juliet, Josh and Nathan Reynolds

Sincere sympathy to the Scullion family on Jimmy`s passing. An absolute legend with all he achieved with PW Nigeria. Everyone I met there spoke so highly of him. I only met Jimmy a few times and we kept in touch since over the years. A longer retirement he surely deserved but the big man above must of needed a lot of good work done in a short space of time. May he rest in peace

RIP Jimmy it was a pleasure to have worked with you and will be sadly missed by all your friends and colleagues. My deepest sympathy to Grace and all your Family May God be good to you.

On behalf of myself and family I wish to register our sympathy for demise of Jimmy, the beloved husband of our sister Gracie. May the Almighty God consoles the entire family at this time and always. Amen

Dad as I fondly called him. Was a man who never joked when it came to family. He was always there for me and my family and always gave the best advice any father could give to a man he embraced as his son. Dad was always looking at the bright side of life and was very protective of my mother his wife and always cared for her and loved her so much and made sure she was never without. I will miss you so much as your last message to me over Christmas was telling me how much you missed my presence in Ireland for Christmas and how easy it would be when cooking for the big family. May you Rest where there is Peace. I know you definitely made Heaven because on earth you were definitely an Angel in human form. Love you always and I will never forget you.

Rest in peace, Jimmy. I knew you as my friend Grace’s beloved husband, and though I only met you a few times in different places, I always admired your unique blend of gentleness and quiet strength. Grace often shared beautiful memories of you how wonderful a husband you were, and how devoted you were in all your roles as a father and grandfather. Your presence will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to Grace and the entire family during this difficult time.
