Friends, after living a blessed and full life, Timothy’s father, Cordell Downing breathed his last. He followed Jesus in this life, followed Him through the valley of the shadow of death and into the eternal presence of our Creator.
He passed away on the first day of September. His funeral was on September 6, 2023.
Here is Cordell’s last message to the Church that he loved.

Great words from your dad.
What a legacy! Well done faithful servant. Rest in the arms of the one you loved so well.
What a joy to know Cordell and Darlene. To watch them as they served their Father. Your legacy goes on here and someday we will see you there. Praying for all of the family. How blessed you were to have such an example.
What a faithful servant indeed!
Thank you for sharing. And, we will carry on with the Lord’s work, just as Cordell demonstrated all the years I knew him. Peace and comfort to you all.
Que mensaje tan confortante. Que bendición ver la obra completa de Dios en un siervo fiel. Listo para disfrutar la eternidad…hasta pronto hermano Cordell. Un buen ejemplo para todos!
Well done good and faithful servant!! Now rest in eternal peace!!
