Yesterday on March 4th at 8:45 am, Dad took his last breath here on Earth and opened his eyes in Heaven. What an incredible moment that must have been! Having his parents welcome him with big hugs and kisses. No more cancer, no more pain, eating whatever he wants. Overwhelming joy. Heaven gained an amazing man who will be missed by all who knew him.

Thanks to all for the outpouring of love and prayers for Mom, myself and family! Dad was so blessed and encouraged to watch his surprise birthday video last Wednesday. The video link is below. Dad laughed, he cried and said, “I remember that!” many times. I don’t think he knew how great an impact his life had meant to so many. Thank you to family and friends that submitted heartfelt and encouraging videos, and Jake Nyman who helped put it together.

Dad was also tremendously blessed to be present for a live sermon in dedication to him, given by his dear friend Pastor Powell at Living Grace. That video link is posted below.

It was Dad’s wish to not have any additional memorial service as he was more than happy with words so many shared in their videos to him and the service he got to enjoy in person by Pastor Powell. What a blessing for Dad to have witnessed the live service and those cherished words shared by video while he was still alive!
