Obituary:

Adenike Folasade Samuel, age 33, passed away on October 30, 2025, in Brooklyn, New York. She was born on February 15, 1992, in Brooklyn, New York, to Carol and Roland Samuel. She went by Nikky with her loved ones. From the moment she arrived, Nikky brought light, laughter, peace, joy and deep love into the lives of all who knew her.

Her warmth, smile, and gentle spirit touched everyone around her. Every stranger became a friend to Nikky the second they met her. She had a remarkable ability to bring comfort and joy without saying a word, expressing love through her eyes, her laughter, and the special way she connected with her family and friends.

She was deeply loved and cared for by her parents and her siblings. Her family surrounded her with devotion and affection throughout her life, ensuring she always knew how cherished she was.

Adenike’s days were filled with the things that made her happiest, like spending time with loved ones, watching her favorite movies, listening to music, and making people laugh. Her favorite movie was “Friday”, as Smokey was her favorite character. She would burst into laughter whenever he appeared on screen. Her favorite artist was Chris Brown, as she would sit for hours watching his music videos on YouTube. Nikky was a sports fanatic. She enjoyed watching basketball, football and boxing. There was no pulling her away from the television screen when a game was on. Her family will forever remember her for her pure heart, her warm hugs, her contagious laughter, and her boundless love.

Adenike is survived by her loving mother, Carol Samuel, and her four siblings: Adeola Samuel, Adeniyi Samuel, Ademola Samuel, and Adeyinka Samuel. She was preceded in death by her father, Roland Samuel. Though her time on earth was far too short, her impact was immeasurable. She will be remembered for the love she gave so freely and the light she brought into every room.

A service to honor Adenike’s life was held on November 7, 2025, at Harmony Funeral Home, 2200 Clarendon Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226. Her final resting place is Holy Cross Cemetery, 3620 Tilden Avenue, East Flatbush, Brooklyn, NY.
