In a message delivered from 1 Kings 2:2, the Man of God called on the family to be strong. He reminded everyone that death is the road that everyone will use, which is why everyone needs to be ready.
“No matter how afraid you are of death, it will come your way. You just need to revisit your personal relationship with God and give your life to Jesus Christ,” the Man of God said.
In an emotional farewell word, the representative of the family described Humphrey as a son who was quite different and unique in his way.
