Jasper was an amazing and godly man who was a mentor in my early Christian life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family but I rejoice in knowing that we'll be spending eternity together in worship of our risen Saviour and Lord.

What a special man your father must have been. "Love for family and unfailing devotion to Christ". Like father; like son. We pray for God's comforting arms to surround you.
Love, Gene and ML
