Just over
a week ago at a celebration of his 60th birthday, Pastor Gordon A.Humphrey Jr.who
was known for his melodious pattern of lifting congregation from the pulpit has
dropped dead after singing Pharrel Williams ‘Happy’ track in the church.
According to EXTV,The Pastor
of United Ministries bellowed melodiously from the pulpit that “the Lord is
good to me…You healed my body.. You brought me back from death” as a choir
harmoniously affirmed his lilting declarations..Hallelujah!
On Sunday,
the preacher who loved to sing was at it again.
Shortly
before he began preaching a Christmas-themed message about “hope in the manger”
at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church of Chicago he sauntered
through the lyrics of rapper Pharrell Williams’ runaway hit song “Happy”.
Soon after
he began preaching his message of hope, however, or perhaps it was somewhere in
the middle according to Pastor Greg Hunter, Humphrey dropped dead at the pulpit.
“I’m not
sure if they determined the cause of death but it’s been said he may have had a
heart attack,” said Hunter whom Humphrey recently installed as pastor of Olivet
Institutional Missionary Baptist Church in Oakland, California after pastoring
there for more than 30 years.
