Kosta: The operant word in your statement is suffering.
The operant word in my statement is "faith-filled."
I am sorry, but your assertion was that his death a blessing because of suffering. If someone is not suiffering, then no one calls death a blesisng. Early Christians considered it a privilege to suffer and die like the Lord (on the cross). If we are also faith-filled, like they were, then something is amiss.
