Imagine the eternal Hell he's currently going through.
If he were still alive he would have another 30-40 years of potential time to repent and seek forgiveness. Because he died, unrepentant, I fear his current state is much worse than prison.
Honestly I feel bad for him. I don't wish Hell on anyone. God is good.
I pray that, in his last moments, he asked God's forgiveness.
Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
I understand the desire for vengeance. I do... but I will try and live my life according to His word.

Lets meet in the middle. 30 years in Prison and he dies without repenting 👍
Romans 12:17-21 NKJV
Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
I understand the desire for vengeance. I do... but I will try and live my life according to His word.
sigh. Can we repay evil with good...and THEN heap literal coals of fire on his head?
It's like that Gillian Welch song (wildly different context)
"Oh well I wanna do right, but not right now."
