He leaves behind a legacy of faith, family, and cherished memories. Though he will be deeply missed, the love he shared, the faith he lived, and the memories made with his children and grandchildren will continue to live on in their hearts.

May he rest in the peace of Christ and may perpetual light shine upon him.
