Osagi was a light in this world, his light will continue to shine within his beloved mother Carla and father Herbert Bascome, proud brothers Oronde [Kimonea], Okera [Chan], Onias [Christia] and Oyinde Bascome, loving partner and confidante Farah Steede, devoted grandparents Gregory and Angela Foggo, Herbert Bascome Sr. and Denise Fishel, precious nieces Emecca and Iyla Bascome and Lahn Foggo, treasured nephew Aoki DelValle-Bascome.
