Private service was held in his memory

"God saw you getting weary.
He did what He thought best;
He put His arms around you
And said Come and rest.

He opened up His golden gates
On that heartbreaking day,
And with His arms around you,
Your youth gently slipped away.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
A part of us went with you
The day God called you home"
