In Loving Memory

 In Loving Memory of my Dad
 
Darrol Alan Jarvis
Oct 10, 1956 - Nov 23, 2013




The Gentle Man
(This beautiful song and words were written by Brother Brown who was my parents Home Teacher. This song was sung at the funeral and accompanied with violins and cello. To understand the words better you must know that my dad loved working with the Scouts and helping the young men be successful in life, in all that they did. He has been given many mentor pins.)




Right over left, and left over right
Pull the ends and the knot pulls tight
Point the arrow and turn the top
Adjust the degrees, find where to go and stop
 
Follow simple rules and you won’t lose your way
You’ll know what to do on any night or day
Pray for light when darkness closes in
Pray for a guiding hand and to begin again

Let’s gather around, let’s read a few
Find out who we should be, find out what we should do
We will bow our heads, and we will bend our knees
We’ll seek to help the one with our heavenly pleas

You might teach by the ‘don’t’, but you best lead by the ‘do’
And show them what to learn as they follow you
Never timid be, give them good times to see
And they will follow suit, and good men they’ll want to be
 
A gentle man, a humble friend
A guide to the young with many a mentor pin
A father of four, a good husband to one
A brother to many, and a righteous son
  
In those difficult days your faith remained unchanged
You sought out the Lord, His path for you to arrange
The decent days of your life have been a good lesson taught
And now as you go His way the good fight you’ve fought.
