You were such a good listener .  I will greatly  miss  your wise and encouraging counsel , when ever l call on you.   

I do not always understand God’s ways, especially the one that says  “in all things give thanks”.  I  guess l give thanks, that our paths crossed and you completed your work on earth.
You meant so much to me and your community and we would have  wanted to have you around much longer.

Rest well my dear friend.  To borrow your favorite word; you were an OUTSTANDING  guy.

My friend Peter - I just learned of your untimely passing.  You were such a special friend and co-worker - you always brought a smile to my face and words of wisdom to my day.   You are the sunshine in the sky and the bright glistening stars of night - may God bless your family and bring them comfort.

You quietly and softly walked into the sunset just as you softly and quietly lived. You had unannounced and not spoken gravitas. I recall the last time I saw you walking down those majestic steps at Clark County offices and every person greeted you with such glee. I was lucky to get a hug. You were present and yet unassuming. You were like a "baobab" in the mist of a meek and weak forestry. Go well.
Your last sprint albeit cut short was very much on point. I have a component that will personally take it from here.
Thank you for your race.

It is with a heavy heart and sadness that I write this farewell. I have known Architect Peter Umoh for several years. I worked with him for about 4 ½ years during my time as the President of the Nigeria Association of Las Vegas (NALV). Architect Umoh was also a past President of NALV. He fully participated in many NALV events even after his term as president ended. Peter was very reliable, dependable and dedicated to service. One could always count on him. When he said he would do something, it was considered done. He volunteered his time and services when needed. He was the first Chairman of the NALV building committee. When NALV wanted to erect a multicultural building on our land, Architect Peter Umoh went to work and investigated all the necessary requirements. He recruited his friend to design and draw the intended NALV multicultural building complex at no charge. It was a detailed and professionally well-done design.
When NALV decided to buy a building, Architect Umoh worked very hard looking at many buildings. He spent several hours driving to buildings, evaluating and analyzing them, without any compensation. He willingly gave us his professional expertise advice and suggestions. Peter was all about professionalism, excellency and getting things done. He didn’t worry about the naysayers. Architect Peter Umoh was also one of the six members of the NALV Trustee of Elders. He served as the Vice Chairman of the NALV Trustee of Elders and a signatory to the bank account at the time of his death. During heated NALV discussions, Architect Umoh never lost his composure. He was focused and ignored distractions. He attended many NALV meetings and events with his baby daughter. They were mostly seen together. It was rare to see Peter without his baby girl. He was also a very active officer in African Diaspora of Las Vegas as one of the Founders or Pioneers. He believed in service to others. Architect Umoh was definitely a good man. 

Peter, your smiles, kindness, dedication to service, and gentleness will always be missed. Your footprints are permanent, and you will be remembered forever. Your passing was very painful. We can never question destiny or God. I know you fought very hard and held on as long as you could, but at the end, the Will of God was fulfilled. You are finally at peace. No more pain or sorrow.  Peter, you have joined the Angels. Adieu Peter and may your soul rest in perfect peace

Peter , I will miss you dearly. That's all I can say. Rest in the peace of the Lord.

Mr. Peter Umoh,  I will miss you dearly.  Umoh was like a brother to me. We worked together in a restaurant in Baton Rouge,  Louisiana,  during our college days.  Despite his accomplishments,  he was very respectful,  humble, and full of smile. He loved his children. After we finished our education we went to different states to pursue our dreams, Umoh kept in touch with me and we always catch up on our college days.  Oga sir, I will miss you. 

Peter...this earthly plain will be worse off without you.  You added kindness, laughter, love, and outstanding happiness to the world--and to each person with whom you shared your smile.  You shared the best, and most comforting hugs.  I will miss you tremendously, my friend.  You "loaned" me your book, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff..."  It is still with me--setting on my desk.  I will treasure this book forever, and it will allow me to talk with you whenever I wish.  Brightest Blessings, Peter.  Thank you for being the great and wonderful man you were in this earthly existence...and will continue to be in our hearts, and in your next adventure.  I love you, Peter.  Thank you for your friendship, and for showing me the importance of a smile. 

     Peter Umoh was a friend, a brother and a name sake.  Peter and I met as leaders within the Akwa Ibom State Association of Nigeria (AKISAN) family and became fast friends with the same name. I know Peter as a great leader and community builder. His untimely passing struck me very personally.
     Though now gone to his reward, my dear friend leaves behind a legacy of charity, gentleness, generosity of heart and top shelf professionalism.
     I pray for his family, that God in whose wisdom has called Peter to himself, will grant them the fortitude to bear the loss and the groundedness to forge a blessed future.
     May the soul of my dear friend and brother find rest in God.

Dr. Peter E. Udo Umoh.

Mr. Peter Umoh was the founder of Akwa Ibom State Association of Nigeria (AKISAN) Las Vegas Chapter. He was kind, caring, generous and always treated people with love and respect. He was an open-minded person who accepted other people suggestions when it comes to making decisions for the group. He was always fond of responding to group suggestions by saying ‘yesoooo’ ( which means always in agreement).  He always volunteered to host our get togethers and would take time to cook all kinds of Nigerian delicious food. Mr. Peter, we will miss you. May your soul Rest In Peace.  Idara Nkanang. On behalf of AKISAN, Las Vegas chapter.

Peter was a gentle spirit and had a kind word for everyone he came across.
His genial smile and avuncular friendliness lead many to be drawn to him.
Peter touched many lives with his love and exemplary life.
Your sweet memories and our friendship will be cherished and remembered always.

Peter was such a kind man. His positive attitude and smile was infectious and filled our office with light. I will miss him greatly. He was a tremendous mentor and co-worker. I can still hear him calling me "partner" whenever we would pass each other in the office or at church. I pray that memory never fades.

Rest in peace my friend.  Your light makes heaven even brighter.

I have known the Late Architect Peter Umoh for over 14 years. For all this time, he has remained consistent.  He was kind, soft spoken and selfless. He is a generous giver of his time and resources. I remember how he always baked fresh cookies for my very young children when we used to visit his house for Fellowship years ago. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace in the bosom of the Lord. 

Peter and l worked together at Church’s Chicken in Baton Rouge, LA. I was the manager. He was then a student at Southern University.
Peter was a God fearing Christian and a faithful and hardworking employee, who always had a smile on his face. We became friends. Peter was also a very humble man in spite of his accomplishments.
Earth’s loss is heaven’s gain.
May God comfort his, children, family and friends.

Peter and I both worked together at Clark County, he had the kindest heart of anyone I knew, he was always smiling especially when you asked him about his youngest daughter.  I can still hear him laughing, I know he’s watching over his family from above and will guide them forever. I’ll miss you Peter. Rest In Peace my friend. Krynn

I'll share one of many memories that I have. Peter asked me to help him fix his cabinets at home. He didn't know what to choose for his kitchen, his daughter's room, the bathrooms excetera. He needed a woman's touch he said. We went to Lowe's and I helped him pick out handles to upgrade his cabinets. I spent a couple of hours, brought my own drill, and helped him upgrade is cabinets with these new handles. We never got to finish the job as we got busy.   We made a pact to have lunch or dinner at least once every two months to catch up. He was a wonderful prayer partner and someone I could bounce business ideas off of. He helped me and I helped him. He was a lovely lovely man. I will miss his laughter and positive outlook on everything and his gift  to uplift people. When I was going through a very awkward time with another friend, he was there to help me through. I miss him terribly. Blessings for the family. Thank you for sharing him with us.

I will always remember your kind sweet spirit.  You will be missed by me & so many.
"God looked around his garden and found an empty space.  
Then he looked down upon this earth and saw your face.  
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. 
 God's garden must be beautiful.  He only takes the best!"
Strength & Comfort to your Family
