To all of our valued clients, we are heartbroken to share with you the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Eyitope Bolujoko after an illness. Dr. Bolujoko was born in Zaria, Nigeria and received his veterinary degree from Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria in 2010. He later passed the strenuous ECFVG examination allowing him to practice veterinary medicine in the United States. He also completed the challenging requirements to become a United States citizen. Dr. Bolujoko joined VCA Castle Shannon in 2015 and immediately became a beloved part of our family. He was known by all as an immeasurably kind person and a most excellent and thorough veterinarian. In our halls, he practiced outstanding medicine, saving lives and helping animals and their people every single day. He handled the rigors of the veterinary world with wisdom, grace and humor, often flashing his brilliant smile throughout the day and whenever he cracked a sly joke to lighten the mood. Sometimes, we were even treated to a song or an impromptu sit-up contest.

Dr. Bolujoko was that very rare person who was so innately good that he elevated everyone around him to be the best versions of themselves. He was both strong and humble in his Faith, a continuous student and teacher, a hard worker, a devoted friend. And while he loved his job and the people with whom he worked, his heart belonged wholly to his precious wife and two daughters. He said once that he wanted to be a very good veterinarian but a great father and husband. He was better than good or great. He was exceptional and irreplaceable. We are all better people for having been blessed enough to have known him.
