Grace Makun, the wife of renowned fashion designer Yomi Casual, has shared a deeply emotional account of her husband's experience tailoring the burial suit for his late friend, actor Alexx Ekubo. In a heartfelt post on her Instagram Story, Grace detailed the profound difficulty her husband faced while carrying out this final act of friendship.
A Friendship Remembered Through Fashion
According to Grace, whenever Yomi Casual completed an outfit for Alexx Ekubo, he would call the actor to inform him. Alexx would typically respond with playful insults and promises to come for a fitting—a routine that had become a cherished part of their bond. However, following Alexx's passing, those lively phone conversations have been replaced by an unbearable silence.
Grace revealed that making the burial suit was the hardest job her husband has ever undertaken. She questioned how Alexx could expect his friend to heal from the pain caused by his departure, noting that the silence where his jokes once were is a constant reminder of the loss.

The fashion entrepreneur also shared words of encouragement for her husband, acknowledging that the past month has been one of the most difficult periods of his life. She expressed that his late father would be proud of him, and that Alexx would also be proud to see his friend honour him in such a special way, ensuring he looked elegant for his final journey.
Grace recounted seeing the grief and pain in her husband's eyes after completing the suit, and admitted she would dearly miss the actor. Fans were moved by her revelation, with many taking to the comments section to reflect on the bond and friendship the two shared.
