"President Gordon B. Hinckley, who led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through twelve years of global expansion, has died at the age of 97. President Hinckley was the 15th president in the 177-year history of the Church and had served as its president since 12 March 1995.
The Church president died at his apartment in downtown Salt Lake City at 7:00 p.m. Sunday night from causes incident to age. Members of his family were at his bedside. A successor is not expected to be formally chosen by the Church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until after President Hinckley’s funeral within the next few days."
What an amazing man! Ever since I was 12 years old I have proudly claimed Gordon B. Hinckley as the prophet, seer, and revelator of the Christ's church on earth. I have grown to love this man more than words can explain. He truly was an example of Christlike love and service. I'm so greatful for his testimony that helped mine grow throughout the years. He was a great and powerful leader who has left a significant impact not only on the members of the church but the world as a whole. We thank the oh God for blessing us with President Gordon B. Hinckley's life.
