A tribute to my father, Donald Ian Forster, who passed away this morning at 6am

Megan, Courtney, Liam and I give thanks to God for the life of my father, Donald Ian Forster, who passed away today at 6am. He struggled to recover from a number of severe strokes over the last two years.

He was 64 years old. We will miss him. He was a brave man, a wonderful father, and a loving husband.

Please spare a prayer for my mom, Margie, my brother Robin, my sister Sueann, my eldest brother Gary, and myself.

The photograph above was taken on the occasion of my mom's 60th Birthday in July this year.

My dad's memorial service will take place at the Trinity Community Church - a Methodist Church in Cresta road, Sunward Park, Gauteng, on Friday the 4th of January at 11am.

"Blessed are those who die in the Lord, for they find rest from their labour... Though they die, yet shall they live"
