June 16, 2020, will forever be etched in the memories of gospel singer Guardian Angel and his family as the day they lost their beloved grandfather.
Guardian Angel took to his Instagram page to announce the sad news, sharing an emotional post that revealed the depth of his relationship with his grandfather.
According to Guardian Angel, his grandfather was more than just a grandfather to him - he was a father figure who raised him like his own son.
Just two weeks ago, Guardian Angel's grandfather had gone shopping for a new suit, which he had said he wanted to be buried in when he passed away.
Tragically, his grandfather's wish was cut short, as he fell ill and passed away just a day later.
Guardian Angel's emotional post read: 'My Guka, my grandfather/FATHER, thank you for raising me like your own son. 2 weeks ago you said you want a good outfit to be buried in when you Rest.'
He also shared another post, saying: 'You went to the shop and selected this particular one. You were so excited, I didn’t know it was going to be this soon. Only 2 weeks Baba you fall sick one day and the next day you are gone???!!! IT IS WELL. REST WITH ANGELS.'
Fans and friends have been sending messages of condolences to Guardian Angel and his family as they go through this difficult time.
