She continued: ‘It was peaceful, and perfect.’ 

‘He was an incredible man, husband, father, son, brother, friend, singer, actor, and disciple of Christ with great faith in his Father in Heaven. To say “he will be dearly missed” doesn’t reflect the scope of the people and communities he has created and touched,’ the widow said of her late spouse.
