Son-in-law to Pierre Asnot Monpremier, Edna Samson and Pierre Zita. Brother-in-law to Stephane and Natalie Monpremier, as well as Steeve Monpremier. Cherished uncle to Nathan and Samuel Monpremier.
Tunde was born on May 5th 1976, at Jericho Nursing Home in Ibadan, Nigeria. He attended Orita Mefa Baptist School from 1981-1986, and from 1988-1993, he studied at the International Secondary School, University of Ibadan, commonly called ISI. At the age of 17, he moved to the United Kingdom and then two years later, in 1995 moved to the United States. While in the United States, he completed his Bachelor's Degree at Saint Leo University in Computer Sciences. He then moved to Toronto, Canada, where he received his citizenship in 2008.
From an early age, Tunde's entrepreneurial spirit shined brightly as he took the initiative to launch several businesses. His relentless work ethic allowed him also to have a successful career as a Database Analyst, working at Husky Energy, and then leading a team at Direct Energy. In 2013, he started working as a consultant for IBM and continued his consultancy services under the banner of Idealift.
During his 45 years on this earth, Tunde lived boldly and fully, embracing each day with vigor and enthusiasm. He will be remembered for his spontaneity, his love of travel, his eagerness to help others, his creative spirit, and for the love he had for his family. He was a reserved man, who measured his words, so that they would be impactful. His sense of humour was balanced by his introspection.
He is remembered every day by his friends and family, and his wife hopes to continue his legacy by starting a charity to continue the fight against pancreatic cancer in his honor.

Chantal aka Chanty as Tim would call me
Tim will truly be missed. To my dear cousin/sister, Emelle and Liam I am just a phone call and video call away. I enjoyed my times with Tim Tim (as I would call him) and the big brother he was to me. From all the advice, to laughs and I'll forever cherish the last time I saw him in Canada November 2018. It was an honor knowing him, standing by him and Belinda's side on their wedding day and I enjoyed all the Nigerian foods he introduced to me. Love you Be and till we meet again Tim.

My deepest condolences to Belinda, Emelle, Liam and extended family. I was so very sorry to hear about Tim’s passing. The many wonderful words at the beautiful service you held for Tim were a blessing to hear. I knew Tim as a wonderful and helpful colleague as we worked together at Direct Energy. However, it was truly a privilege in hearing your personal accounts of Tim’s life to enable me know him even better. I can see his legacy has just begun, and will carry on in each of you and everyone you touch. May he rest in peace, and may his memories give you strength.
May Tunde's Soul Rest In Peace.May the Lord hold and comfort the entire family.
