Indeed, death shouldn’t be proud; it takes away the ones we love without giving even a notice; it leaves our hearts shut; it takes away those we least expect. Death will no longer be proud because it will no longer exist.
Patrick Shai’s funeral was held yesterday, and it was a painful day for the country. People from all over the world expressed their sympathy to the family and paid their final respects to the great Shai. An awarded actor and producer, he was best known for his roles in some of Mzansi’s best TV dramas, including Skeem Saam, 7 De Laan, and Ashes to Ashes, among others. He was well-known for his ability to portray his characters in such a way that spectators were often taken aback. He was considered to be one of the top actors in the business. As a result, his passing is such a tremendous loss to the entertainment business.
In addition to his work in the entertainment world, he was a successful businessman and an advocate for depression and gender-based violence. He assisted many people in resolving their problems and imparted wisdom to them. He had a positive impact on the lives of a large number of families. Because of this, he was considered to be one of the most popular celebrities in the country. It is undeniable that he was a guy in search of love. He passed away on Saturday the previous week. He was found dead in his garage at his residence in Soweto.
Many people in the country have been left heartbroken as they try to figure out why he chose to end his life early. The general public is in the dark, searching for answers to help them comprehend why he chose to abandon his family in such a state of distress. That a depression activist would commit suicide is difficult to believe, yet it serves as proof that one cannot always be strong. The insults that were being said about him were said to have prompted him to commit himself, according to reports.
Shai’s funeral was one of the most beautiful funerals I’ve ever witnessed. He was laid to rest in a dignified manner at the end of his life. Many individuals expressed their admiration for the manner in which his casket was taken to the cemetery when he was being laid to rest. Shai’s coffin was delivered on a transparent trailer, which was unusual for the people of Mzanzi, who are accustomed to coffins being transported in the main mortuary car. It appeared to be quite fashionable and lovely. His thumb-stone was one of the most beautiful. It had a portrait of him, and it also looked so simple. See the photos below.
Opinion
As a result of his excellent funeral, Mr. Shai will be at ease wherever he may be. This is extremely elegant and sophisticated, and I am confident that it is the manner in which everyone likes to be transported to their final destination. In the meantime, may his soul rest in peace and may his family find the strength to cope during these trying times until we meet again in the next world.
