My Eulogy, as I’d like it said. Reply with yours. It’s a good exercise, to say the least.
“Like David, John strove to be a man after God’s own heart. He knew the source of joy, of peace, of comfort, and of life. He saw his relationship with our Father as what it was meant to be and relied on Him fully.
Although he is no longer here to see, touch, and converse with, we are still able to see glimpses of John in his family, and in his friends. John’s love, adoration, and complete happiness with his wife was contagious. Seeing them together was inspirational to both individuals and couples as they worked harmoniously as an integrated pair. She was his pride, his helper, his partner, and his friend.
John’s children are his legacy. Although John was influential to all of us, he spent his time focusing on being with his children, teaching his children, and reflecting his understanding of God’s love for us to his children. They were the sparkle in his eye and they knew how much he cared about them.
Watching John live his life was infectious. With all that he was given, he was never afraid to risk every piece of it to expand the bounds of the kingdom. He lived his purpose with a fervor, an intense application of what he knew and understand with a seemingly unwavering amount of faith for how much God has him under his wing. He led his life as a servant, always tipped towards what his Lord would ask him to do.
Anyone who spent time with John would tell you how much they felt like the world for those moments together. Each time someone sat with John, they felt like the most important person or thing in the world to him. There were no distractions that would take precedence over time with you. He made every person he spoke with feel like his highest priority.
He was a man of dedication, integrity, respect, and love.”
