Baptist Church Pastor slumps & dies while preaching on Pulpit

What a tragedy! Pastor Gordon A. Humphrey of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago dropped dead on the pulpit after singing the well-loved song, Happy by Pharrell Williams.

Paramedics were called as church members that are in the medical field tried to revive their 60-year-old pastor. He was rushed to the hospital but, unfortunately, the doctors pronounced him dead....


Pastor Humphrey had three churches under his wing at his time of death; two in California and one in Chicago. Humphrey’s mentee, Pastor Greg Hunter, said his pastor died doing what he loved.

This is where the church is putting the emphasis surrounding his untimely passing. He enjoyed preaching and singing and always gave his all when doing so. Pastor Hunter added:

He brought all people together. For years he walked the streets and met with drug addicts and gangbangers that had been enemies and made them begin to love.
