“Spending these final days with you has been a true gift from God. I have never been so present in my life,” Keibler began her Instagram tribute, just hours after his tragic passing. “When you know time is sacred, you don’t waste a single breath. You don’t rush. You don’t scroll. You don’t worry about tomorrow. You sit. You listen. You hold hands. You watch the sky change colors and you let it change you too. In these past days, you taught me more about being present than any book ever could.
“You showed me what it looks like to trust God’s plan, even when it breaks your heart. Especially when it breaks your heart.”

“This may be the single most beautiful and equally heartbreaking post I’ve ever read on social media,” wrote one commenter. “Powerful powerful. Even in crossing he has give us life lessons. 💔 🤍”
