Example of a Cousin Funeral Tribute provides a unique guide, easing the process of crafting a fitting tribute.
Dear family and friends,
We gather here today to celebrate the life of Phillip Moran, a cherished cousin, friend, and an inspiration to us all. Phillip was a ray of sunshine on the cloudiest of days, a beacon of light in times of darkness, and a gentle reminder of the beauty of life.
As many of you know, Phillip had a love for adventure and play. Growing up, some of my fondest memories with him revolve around the times our family spent exploring the wonderful world of toys and imagination, especially during our Tae Kwon Do lessons. Phillip's playground extended far beyond the typical toys available to everyone. Instead, he marveled at the wonders of Uncle Ed's boat, food truck, belt coin changer, cable van, and, most intriguingly, his motorcycle.

I remember vividly during summers when Gramma babysat us; how our imaginations soared as we created entire worlds and personas. We would sail to Gilligan's Island on the boat and, upon arriving, instantly transform into famished construction workers ordering food at the food truck. It was this youthful innocence and imagination that never left Phillip, even as he grew older. It was contagious, infecting everyone around him with smiles and laughter.
In the spirit of celebration and honoring Phillip's memories, I would like to share a verse from the song "Like a River Runs" by Bleachers, as it perfectly captures the essence of his life and the joy he brought to each and every one of us.
"When I fall asleep, I can see your face
What I lost in you, I will not replace
And I could run away, I could let them down
But I will remember your light"
Phillip's light will continue to shine bright in our lives, even in his physical absence. Our hearts may be heavy with grief today, but we must remember the joy and love he brought to us. The memories we shared with him will forever be engraved in our hearts.
Phillip's life is an inspiration to us all, teaching us that no matter where life takes us or how difficult it becomes, we can find joy and beauty in the little things. Let us honor his memory by never losing that part of ourselves that laughs, plays and lets our imaginations run wild.
In closing, I invite you to take a moment to remember the unique times you spent with Phillip. Hold those thoughts dear and share them with one another because it is through our words that his spirit will continue to live on. Let us send him off with feelings of love, inspiration, and happiness, knowing that his memories will forever enrich our lives.
Thank you, Phillip, for the joy and love you brought into this world. We will miss you dearly, but we will never forget the happiness and light you shared with us. May your spirit soar with the same freedom and spirit that you embodied in life. Rest in peace, Phillip. We celebrate you and will continue to carry your light within each and every one of us forever more.
