RIP Deon. God needed a comedian. He got a good one. You will be missed.
To Niya and family, we extend to each of you our heartfelt, deepest and most sincere sympathy. I realize that nothing said at this moment will ease your pain. But reflect on the word that Deon is now present with the Lord. No more worries, no more pain, no more sickness. And for those of us that mourn, we mourn not as those who have no hope, for we believe, this is not good-bye, only goodnight for we will see you in the morning!! Much Love!!!
Sending my deepest condolences to the family!
Gracious and most High God, I thank you for this day. I thank you that Deon gave his life to you!! No more pain, suffering. The battle with cancer may have been lost, the enemy thought he had you, but God stepped in and snatched you out of his hand, and you now have the victory in Jesus, Deon you WON!! I'll miss our calls and texts, but ever so grateful that you are free from the things of this world. This is not the end of the story, just a chapter that has been closed. Your new eternal life has begun with Jesus and I'll see you again one day! God made us those promises! Rest well King!! Prayers of comfort and peace to all the family and friends.
MSG Bible Revelation 21:4 I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: "Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They're his people, he's their God. He'll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone." The Enthroned continued, "Look! I'm making everything new. Write it all down—each word dependable and accurate."
MSG Bible 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 The Master's Coming 13-14 And regarding the question, friends, that has come up about what happens to those already dead and buried, we don't want you in the dark any longer. First off, you must not carry on over them like people who have nothing to look forward to, as if the grave were the last word. Since Jesus died and broke loose from the grave, God will most certainly bring back to life those who died in Jesus.
15-18 And then this: We can tell you with complete confidence—we have the Master's word on it—that when the Master comes again to get us, those of us who are still alive will not get a jump on the dead and leave them behind. In actual fact, they'll be ahead of us. The Master himself will give the command. Archangel thunder! God's trumpet blast! He'll come down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise—they'll go first. Then the rest of us who are still alive at the time will be caught up with them into the clouds to meet the Master. Oh, we'll be walking on air! And then there will be one huge family reunion with the Master. So reassure one another with these words.
Love ya! Always In Christ! Auntie Sharon
