With A Heavy Heart ... Announcing the Passing of a Hero

It is with a heavy heart that I say, "Thank you and well done" to one of our own, Mr Charlie Gockel. Mr Charlie ended his term here on earth and is now enjoying the presence of the Lord. He loved furiously and intrusively. His life impacted so many. His message was simple: Give up to Jesus. The legacy of his life cannot be calculated by any other than He whose presence Charlie is now enjoying. He will be missed. Please pray for his family. Please pray for his community. Please pray for the men at Discover Life whom he loved unconditionally. I will announce funeral plans once they are set.
