In the post, Savannah, 23, wrote:
“My daddy never fell short of making my dreams come true. No matter how high or how far, he made a way. Not only did he make my dreams come true, he chased them with me,” she wrote. “He is my best friend, my voice of reason, and my favorite phone call every day.”
She then shared a deeply personal message, revealing the best gift he had ever given her: a shared relationship with Jesus.
“He always loved the Lord, but 6 months ago he sought the Lord. He was hungry for the word and we did it together,” Savannah shared, adding that 12 days ago, on the day he died, he gave her “the most valuable gift I could’ve asked for. The gift of knowing where he is today, in Heaven with our Savior.”
Savannah concluded the post by saying, “I lost a piece of my heart and my favorite Cowboy, but Heaven gained an angel. I’m so thankful for the time I did have, and I can’t wait for eternity. I love you daddy and I will miss you indefinitely.”
