Heath will be sadly missed but his loving memory will live on forever in the hearts of his wonderful family and friends.

December 20, 2022 at 9:52 amAs I sit here and think about Heath I will always remember a man that served and sacrificed for his friends and family. I had the privilege of visiting with Heath many times on Facebook and on the phone. And listening to his testimony of Christ’s love end of his love for Christ. We have cried together we’ve laughed together we’ve prayed together. I truly will miss my brother but I also know with all my heart I will see him again in heaven. I am praying for Erin and the family and knowing the God’s love will encircle you and Surround you. May God uplift you in strengthen you in this time.

December 21, 2022 at 8:16 pmI am so sorry to hear of this passing of your loved one. By his testimony, he has now got it made ; forever safe in the arms of Jesus. This doesn’t make the heartache I know you all are going through any less painful. Bob and Tenah, I have never lost a child and I can’t imagine the hurt you’re feeling right now. Erin, you and your two children, I do know your pain and I want you to know God is holding you in His big arms of peace and comfort. It hasn’t been that long ago when Jesus called Pam home and it breaks my heart that you, your kids as well as your dad are enduring this huge loss now. I pray for God’s sweet peace and comfort to cover you all and his other loved ones at this sad time. May God Bless you in the days that lay ahead for He is truly the only comfort that can fill that hurting in your hearts.
