what phone and OS do you have?

because its bit different in jelly bean vs ICS and prior.

For ICS and prior, Settings-->Account and sync-->[Your Account]-->menu-->Remove account.
for JB, Settings-->under Accounts select the account in this case Google-->[your Account]-->Menu-->Remove Account

When you used your Google account to setup his phone, you made your account the default on his phone. This will cause complications and unnecessary grief, if not right now then certainly down the road.

Unfortunately, since it's now the default, master account it can't be simply deleted or deactivated like can be done with secondary accounts. The only way to get your account off his phone is to do a factory reset and start over, this time making sure you do setup using his Google account.

Even though it a pita I strongly recommend resetting his phone and making his Google account the default.
