best friend, young wife and family

[arkenstone]

My mate died suddenly and his wife has asked me to read at the funeral.

I think she wanted me to talk about him and capture who he is, but i don't know where to start.

I would rather read something and let the reverand do the "who was he" bit.

Very confused, anyone suggest anything other than read the guides here?

There's a 10 step guide to doing a eulogy that's available to download from www.funeral-poems.net

It's not free, but it is cheap, immediately available, and an excellent guide.
