He was a man of great faith, love and integrity who not only touched my life personally but touched many around the world.

He was a man of humble beginnings, born in North Carolina, which makes me very proud. He was someone of character and strong convictions, that did not compromise his faith. He was a man that lived a simple and respectable life, not one of extravagance or gain. He was a true example of Who Christ is, through His own suffering and pain.

He was a servant whom God called to be telling the world about Jesus and how he could set them free. He fought a good fight; he kept the faith; he surrendered his life as a sacrifice to Christ.

I’m certain in that moment he passed from death to life eternal, God will say to him, “Welcome home, my son, thou good and faithful servant; enter into the kingdom of Heaven and receive all the blessings I have prepared for you.”

You will truly be missed but never forgotten.
