My most sincere condolences to the family. Death is without a doubt is the most painful experience for mankind therefore comforting words are often ignored as the pain consumes our entire emotions. We can only find hope in the promise that our Heavenly Father has warranted in Revelation 21:3,4. This promise has helped me endure in my time of the loss of a love de one. May you also find this hope to be of help.

I'm sorry for your loss. It seems to me that he was very active man. Vibrant and vigorous. One thing that you keep in mind is that God is the Creator of Life. Psalm 36:9 says Jehovah God is the Source of Life. He's the one who gave life to all living creatures is definitely capable of restoring life to someone who has died. May the scriptures bring comfort to you and your family.
