In Memoriam: Rev. Dr. Daniel Defassio
“When I remember you in my prayers, I always thank my God because I hear of your love for all the saints and your faith toward the Lord Jesus.
I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective when you perceive all the good that we may do for Christ.
I have indeed received much joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, my brother.”
The Rev. Dr. Daniel Defassio, pastor at Shepherd of the Desert, Sun City, entered the church triumphant on January 22, 2021. He died of complications of Covid-19.
We pray for Suzy, his wife, and his family and friends and congregation. Please contact the synod office for Suzy’s address if needed.
“Eternal God, your love is stronger than death, and your passion more fierce than the grave. We rejoice in the lives of those whom you have drawn into your eternal embrace. Keep us in joyful communion with them until we join the saints of every people and nation gathered before your throne in your ceaseless praise, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
