Obituary(Repost from 11/07/2006)

He was a compassionate listener who was able to, for himself and others, put into perspective personal struggles in light of what he called "the Grand Plan". By writing and talking about how God was working in his life, he was able to inspire those around him to be aware of God’s presence in their lives and to seek through prayer God’s purpose for their own lives. As a patient coach, he was able to lead others into seeing themselves as God sees them and has encouraged the desire to fully express their talents and abilities for God’s greater glory.


He had a positive disposition around him that only comes from living a life fully surrendered to God. He also had this fierceness in him that others came to call him a prayer-warrior.Yet deep within him, there is this child’s heart that comes out at unexpected times, a trusting and giving heart, and a heart that celebrates life. When asked what drives him daily, he would reply, "I only live for one thing: to make God smile daily!"


He will be missed.He was an obedient child of God, a loving husband and father, a good son and son-in-law, a dependable brother and brother-in-law, a loving uncle, a loyal friend and a thoughtful colleague.He had this way of moving around purposefully and had a sense of security that enabled him to say ‘No’ to anything that got him off-purpose. He used to say, “My life is but one drop in the ocean called eternity.” He lived his life that way, living in the present in light of eternity, balancing significance and success. He was always able to draw out lessons or messages even from very difficult circumstances. “Something good will come out of this!”, he used to say.
