New York — His family calls him “Olakunle,” a name that means “the wealth that fills the house” in the Yoruba language of Nigeria, where Akeem Ajimotokan grew up adored as the youngest of four boys.
But Mr. Ajimotokan’s real richness, his family said Monday, is in the trust and generosity he has always showered on others — unconditionally and, as it turned out, fatefully.
Mr. Ajimotokan had no reason to think that selling his electric blue BMW M3 coupe on the Internet would leave him in a coma clinging to life, his brother, Ayo Ajim, said.
“He is very trusting, very friendly, very lovable, the kind of guy who would believe in the best of everyone,” said Dr. Ajim, an emergency medicine doctor in Houston.
