I'm so sorry for your family's loss.  May you find comfort in your fond memories, family and friends.  Note also that this is not the end for him for the bible says this at John 5: 28, 29 " ...all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life,,,"  God also promises the meek will possess the earth. (Ps 37:10
