Let this be not only a moment of mourning, but one of celebration. We honor a life that was lived fully and generously-a journey that, while now concluded, continues to inspire. We gather to share stories, to laugh as he once did, and to comfort one another, knowing that love endures beyond loss.
May his memory be a blessing and a guide. In every act of kindness, in every pursuit of knowledge, and in every moment of courage, his spirit lives on. Though we grieve, we remain grateful that such a soul walked among us, bringing light and warmth to the world.
