Musician

Last night my brother Matthew went to be with the Lord after a long battle with cancer. My brother was a light in this world. And even in moments when he didn’t see just how bright he shined, others around him knew for themselves that to be around him would be a delight and ultimately a moment of knowing more of who God was through him.

The stories people have shared about how they grew because of him, how he was like family to them, or how he challenged them to be excellent in their craft while also leaning more into Jesus. These things sit in my heart today as I mourn. And at the same time I know he has no more pain or sorrow. He is satisfied fully in the embrace of Christ.

Thanks to those of you who have called and texted us already. Thanks to those of you who loved on him while he was here on this earth. He may not have made an big impact around the world, but his mark here in Roanoke is indelible. Not to mention he was a great brother. The best that could ever do it.

Please keep us in prayer as we process, grieve, remember the joyful moments, and press through. God’s got us and we love and trust him with everything we have.

Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
