I am very sorry to hear of De'quan's passing at such a young age. I'd like to share the comfort of knowing he rests peacefully, as if sleeping, in death (John 11:11-14, Luke 8:52,53). God and Jesus want to and will soon perform a resurrection of all those asleep in death (John 5:28-30). We are made in God's image; the fact that we suffer this grief is proof they feel your loss and are prepared to comfort you through God's word and soon, the resurrection. It is my hope you find peace and comfort in these difficult times.

I cannot say, and will not say
That he is dead. He is just away.
With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand.
He has wander into an unknown land.
And left of dreaming how very fair.
It needs must be, since he lingers there.
And you-oh, you, who the wildest yearn.
For an old time step and the glad return
Think of him as faring on, as dear
in the love of There as the love of Here
Think of him still as the same I say,
He is not dead- he is just away.

My condolences to Jasmine and the entire Dukes family. My heart broke when my daughter Taylor told me of DayDay's passing. DayDay was always a pleasure to see and he always seemed genuinely interested in how I was doing. Its sad that my grandson, Dyshawn Jr, will never get to know his Godfather who loved him.

So very sorry to read of the untimely passing of your loved one Dequan. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Death is described in God's Word the Bible as an "enemy." (1Corinthians 15:26) An enemy that none of us as humans can defeat. Lovingly Our Heavenly Father can and will eliminate this enemy for us once and for all as foretold at Revelation 21:3,4. He will accomplish this by means of his Kingdom in which we pray for in the Lord's Prayer. Once more I am so sorry for your loss.

My heartfelt condolences go out to your family. I can imagine that there is little that words can do to ease your pain right now. During times like this we need the kind of strength that only God can provide. He can heal our broken heart and give us peace. (Psalm 147:3) He promises that soon death will be no more and he will permanently wipe tears of sadness from all faces. (Isaiah 25:8) In addition, the pressures, senseless acts and challenges that make life difficult will also be done away with and we can enjoy a tranquil new world. (Psalms 37:10,11) Until that time comes may God grant you peace.
