the remainder of his life as much as possible with his family. Unfortunately, he met his untimely

th
death on Wednesday the 24 of March 2021.

“You can shear tears because he is gone, or you can smile because he lived his life to the

fullest.
You can close your eyes and wish he was here or open your eyes and see everything he had
done

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal “

Daddy God has you in his arms and we will always have you in our hearts
