Almighty Father, eternal God, hear our prayers for Your son Heath whom You have called from this life to Yourself. Grant him light, happiness, and peace. Let him pass in safety through the gates of death, and live forever with all Your saints in the light You promised to Abraham and to all his descendants in faith. Guard him from all harm and on that great day of resurrection and reward raise him up with all Your saints. Pardon his sins and give him eternal life in Your kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.

I can still remember like it was yesterday, being 17 and driving you to and from Roar of the Crowd even though I was too young to go in... I'm so proud I had the pleasure of being your friend! Even if we didn't see each other very often, we knew we were there if the other needed us!! You were truly the kindest person and you left your footprints on everyone who knew you! I love you, Heath!!! You're gone way too soon, but I'll keep you with me always!

Heaths premature passing has been a great sense of loss to all that knew him. Heath was kind and considerate and always there to offer to help anyone that was in need. His passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of all those who knew him. Heath will always remain within our hearts. I was honored to call him my friend.
