As Salaamu 3laykum,
I hope you and your family are doing well. MashALLAAH for helping this person. I would continue to try to help him or atleast be a part of his life so he may continue receive guidance. It doesn't have to be every week but perhaps every month or so?
Furthermore, we have to remember we are only here to guide, teach and convey and after that it is up to ALLAAH (Glory Be To HIM). That is the nature of this life.
I will say if you can atleast have your friend join you to come to the masjid or to attend a circle of Islamic learning in your community. Because having good company has an effect on people. And if he doesn't agree then maybe if he is willing to sit with an Islamic scholar/imam locally. These things are better in person. And you to remind him that shaitan gives thoughts and these thoughts are meant to stray people away from Islam.
I dont mind giving counsel on the side if you want to message on the side on this site.
Have a Nice Day!

According to Quran people have free will:
إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِرًا وَ إِمَّا كَفُورًا
Surely We guided him upon the way whether he be thankful or unthankful (76:3)
So, you can guide him in the right direction, but the final decision is up to him.
