Late Gordon A. Humphrey
A Sunday service in one of the US churches was marked by a sad passing of pastor Gordon A. Humphrey Jr. of United Ministries.
It became the last service for the clergyman held at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. The 60-year-old was singing the famous song “Happy” by Pharell Williams when he suddenly collapsed at the pulpit.
It is alleged that the death occurred as a result of a heart attack. All the attempts of the congregation to save the pastor’s life yielded no results.
Speaking after the incident, the late cleric’s colleague, Pastor Greg Hunter, said he wanted people to remember Humphrey for his years of committed service, which he loved with his whole heart.
Hunter was quoted as saying by ChristianToday:
“We are putting emphasis that he passed doing what he loved to do and he loved preaching and that’s the relationship he had with God and when he preached he gave it his all. So he passed doing the thing that he loved to do and that is [to] share the word of God and minister to the body of Christ.”
Hunter paid tribute to the late pastor:
“For years he walked the streets and met with drug addicts and gangbangers that [were] against each other and [made them] begin to love. He brought all people together.”
