Charles Pote aka Papillon (Sparrows MCC)

Passed on 11 December 2008


Matthews 10vs 29:
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father."
Charlie [Papillon] passed on after being involved in a fatal motor vehicle / motor cycle accident on the 11th December 2008. We believe that his passing on was the will of Our Father.
Rest in Peace - Steve Pote - Sparrows MCC


Charles passed away after a biking accident on Thursday evening, 11th December 2008. Angela Brink is currently in ICU with several serious injuries. Our thoughts are with the family and friends. WRBA PC.

Charlie, you stood in the gap for Chris when he was doing drugs. Our Lord and Saviour used your faith, strength and ability to intercede for Chris in a mighty way. The two of you created an amazing testimony of hope that people need to hear.
We as a family now undertake and intercede for Chanell.
Rest in peace now, you have run and completed the race.
Love from Joan, Chris and Adrian Barrington. (Aunt and nephews).

Charles, you are soaring the heavens with wings like an eagle. The Sparrow that has fallen has been picked up by our Father above. Your wings are healed my brother, your legs are strong. You are looking at our Maker face to face. You always will be with us in spirit. Thanks for your concerning nature. Thanks for your prayers. Thanks for being there for me when I needed you. I owe you my brother, more than you will ever know. I trust that someday we will be united again, sit in God's Glory, worshiping, praising and adoring Him together. I love you Papillon, spread your wings and fly. Tough as nails, fragile as a butterfly...
Your cousin, Chris.

Hi son, on the 11th December 2009 it will be one year since your sudden departure from us. During this period of time we have experienced numerous and awesome spiritual confirmations that you are home with Father God in Heaven and.... that all is well! We thank Father God for the 37years of fellowship that we could enjoy as a family and also that we had the honor and privilege of worshiping and serving Him who is an awesome God.. We your parents and Chanelle your daughter, miss you a lot but would not wish for you to be in any other place besides in Heaven.

I wish to share the following bible text with you: Romans 9 vs.15 - 16

For He says; "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion".

"It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy"

Steve Pote and Family
