Sample Eulogy for Father
The
free eulogy below is a good example of a eulogy given by a daughter for
her father. It sounds like he was a great Dad. For tips on writing an effective eulogy, visit Writing a Eulogy, a Step by Step Guide.
Here's an idea: distribute these wildflower plantable cards at your father's celebration of life as a memorial tribute. Friends and family can plant
them and wildflowers will grow in his memory. Cards are custom
printed and can be shipped overnight.
Personal Example Eulogy for Father
– by Daughter Ellen
Hello. As I stand here, I see
friends and relatives that have come great distances to be here for my
Dad. I am humbled and quite frankly impressed at how he must have touched
your lives. I can only speak for myself, but when I think of how he touched
my life, the first word that comes to mind is “admiration”.
I could stand here and list
all the ways I admire him…but well, a lot of you have flights to
catch. But I would like to share a few reasons why I admire my Dad. First
and foremost was his love and commitment for my Mother. And not just marital
commitment. He was committed to making her HAPPY. If it was important
to her, it BECAME important to him. They were happily married for 32 years,
and during his last days, his only concern was for Mom’s well being,
and not his own impending mortality.
I also admire him because of
the KIND of father he was to us (my brother and me). Yes, he loved us…
very much. But he also instilled in us a core value system that defined
who HE was. And that, was a man who kept promises. Honored commitment.
He was a man of integrity. Whenever we stumbled, he could have accepted
our bitching & moaning and advised us to take the easy way out and
quit. But he’d have none of THAT. He fully expected us to see things
through, all the way to the end without drama. “Do it. It just needs
to be done.” he’d always say to me.
If you’re here today,
and I thank you for that, that means that he touched your life in some
way or another. That means that you’d miss him in some way or another.
Yes, he will be missed
Friends will miss his coffee
and corny jokes and his company
His grandchildren will miss
his giddy-up rides and the comfy naps on his favorite recliner
My mother will miss having
her best friend by her side
I will miss my father, the
source of my convictions. I will miss my inspiration.
