“My sister and I had no problems with anything. We would call and he would pick up and do whatever we needed and even if we didn’t know how to do it, he’d figure it out,” she said.
“He could talk to and befriend anyone, he did all day yesterday and enjoyed every moment of it. He was a man of God who loved Jesus passionately and cared about our church and believers like family,” she continued, adding that the media “will not portray him as having died as a real-life superhero who shielded his family from bullets with his own body.”
