I got a phone call from a close friend in Stevens Point that a friend of ours passed away this morning. It was so unexpected. It caught me off-guard and I am still in shock. The way I feel cannot even compare to how his family feels. He was 36, married for over 10 years, 5 beautiful kids. I keep saying it's awful. It's worse than that.
Rajah Heetai was a wonderful man of God. He respected everyone and always put others needs before his. He treated his wife like a princess and loved his kids so dearly. He knew what was important in life. He served in the church & community. He's someone that 'everyone knows' because he was genuinely nice to everyone he met.
There are so many characteristics about Rajah that I could go on about. I am just heartbroken for his family. I can't think about anything else. The feeling of grief comes over me so quickly and I cannot imagine how they will move forward. What now?
Rajah's wife Amanda is just as amazing as Rajah. She is so bold and strong. She is an excellent mom, and I know that God will protect her. I know Amanda will lean on Him and trust Him for every need.
Please lift up the family in your prayers. Hug your spouse extra tight and tell your kids you love them.
His passing changes my perspective again. It forces me to think about the relationships I have. Ones that have shaped my past. That have made me who I am today. Think about your perspective now, before a circumstance forces you to. Take a step back and look at the big picture.
In loving memory of Rajah Heetai.

What a wonderful tribute to Rajah as well as his wife. Anyone who knew Rajah can say "Amen" to what you have said. Together they laid the foundation of HIM in their home and God will never leave Amanda and her children. Lifting the family up in prayer. --Marjorie Halverson-Falkowski
