Born on October 28, 1973, in Manchester, England, to Dr. Nseobong Fred Umoh and Mercy Umoh, Imayak, the oldest of three and the only son, lived a life marked by kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to others.
He was known to family simply as “Uncle Sam” or “Bruh-Law”—a testament to the deep affection and respect he inspired in all who knew him. Imayak had a heart of gold and was always just a phone call away, ready to lend a hand, and a listening ear.
