If the phone was backed up you can restore the backup to a different iOS device. For enabling your phone you will need access to his Apple ID. You can try https://iforgot.apple.com to recover the passcode, if you think you can guess the answers to his security questions. You can also contact Apple Account Security (Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security) and see if they can help reset the passcode. But without it the phone will be Activation Locked to his account and you will be unable to restore it or use it.
