Husband, Father, Shepherd, Sportsman, Community Leader, Friend, Mentor and the list goes on….
These are just some of the roles that our dearly departed Pastor Steve Francis fulfilled. These caps were worn with pride and I recall without fear or favour, that he gave 100% to each of these. The infectious smile, the words of wisdom, the tongue-in-cheek, the advice and the humaneness of everything he said or did, will always remain with us.
He was born to serve – something which he did perfectly. He gave freely, guided purposefully and led astutely. He was a man of conviction whose level of respect and tolerance was unparalleled. His children are testimony of what he stood for and the morals and values imparted in them form part of the legacy that he has left behind. Recalling the man that he was or the impact he had on our lives, just brings a smile to our faces.
Thank you for coming into our lives, thank you for adding value to our family and thank you never judging us. May you continue to watch over your flock from above and continue to be the beacon of light and hope to all that had the privilege of walking in your shadow.
Rest in Peace dear Pastor Francis.
Vinesh Dhewlall and family
