Justin, I’m so sorry to hear of your family’s loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love this picture of him! Though I didn’t know him well (but heard great stories!) I’d say he was doing what he loved.

I am very sorry for your loss. Although I did not know your loved one personally, I hope knowing that they are in our loving heavenly Father’s memory will bring your family comfort during this difficult time. Very soon now we can look forward to God’s promise at a Revelation 21:4: “… Death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore, the former thing gave passed away.”
