What KODA’s wife said in her emotional tribute to her late husband

Kofi Owusu Dua Anto, who passed away in April 2024 at the age of 45, was laid to rest on Friday, September 20, at the Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) in Spintex.

The ceremony was attended by several notable gospel musicians, including Joe Mettle, Nacee, Elder Mireku, Sonnie Badu, and Diana Hamilton.

In her emotional tribute, Ewurama reflected on the cherished memories she shared with KODA and praised his dedication to their family.

“You were the best of husbands any wife could pray for and the best of fathers any child could pray for. You were a good man, sweety. I am forever grateful to God that I found you,” she said.

Ewurama also expressed her belief in KODA’s lasting impact through his service to God, hoping that his legacy would continue to inspire and bring more souls to Christ.

“As believers, we rejoice in the fact that you are still alive in heaven. Praise be to Jesus who died to give us eternal life, knowing that one day we will all live again. Till we meet again, sweety, we will miss you,” she added.

KODA left behind a rich musical legacy with hits like “Nsempii,” “Nkwa Abodoo,” “Yapai,” and “Adorso.”

He was a multi-award-winning artist known for his passion for gospel music and his contributions to shaping the sound and direction of other musicians through his production work.

KODA had produced music for artistes such as the late Danny Nettey, Ps. Joe Beechem, Nii Okai, Halal Afrika, and Eugene Zuta.

KODA is survived by his wife Ewurama and their two children. His passing marks a significant loss to the gospel music community, but his influence and contributions will be remembered for years to come.
