Today we lost a proud father, a grandfather and a husband
Today we lost a loving uncle, a brother, a teammate and friend
Today we lost a good bowler, one who always had humor to spare
Today we lost a mechanic, one who showed us there’s nothing we cannot repair
Today we lost a lover of animals, one who didn’t bark or bite
Today we lost a fisherman, whose charm reeled you in without any fight
Today we lost a salesman, one who sold us on the value of love
Today we lost a child of God, who was sent to this Earth straight from above
Today we lost a true mentor, one who taught us how to forgive
Today we lost a wise teacher, one who left us with lessons on how we should live
Today we lost an outdoorsman, a man that loved to go four-wheeling
Today we lost a strong leader, one who cleared the path for healing
Today we lost a brave fighter, one that shall never be outclassed
Today we lost a real hero, a man who saved the best for last
Today we lost a great dancer, one who taught us to dance in the rain
But today God welcomed an angel, as our loss became heaven’s gain
