I send my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your loved one Lionel, I'm sure that he will be dearly missed by the many who loved him. The tragedy of losing our love ones in death devastates us. But we can take comfort in the promises of Almighty God. He promises at 1 Corinthians 15:26: "And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." Also John 5:25 promises: "the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who have paid attention will live." Soon our grief will forever be changed to great joy when death will be no more, and when we're reunited with our family and friends that have died. May these promises bring comfort to your grieving hearts.
