So sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one, Benijamin. Certainly, no matter what death is a tragedy; and I am certain that he will be greatly missed. Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many. May you also comfort in the words of Jesus himself recorded at John 5:28,29: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." What a marvelous time that will be when we will be reunited right here on earth with those we have loss in death. But until that glorious time may God prove to be a source of comfort and strength.
Take care of each other.
Sincerely, Debbie
