Three Prominent African American Dallas Pastors Pass Away During the Same Week

We reported today that Pastor Jerome McNeil passed away on July 15 in the back of the sanctuary after giving his sermon. Well, we were listening to Christian radio in Dallas and heard Pastor Ray Campbell of the Ideal Church radio program tell his listening audience three of his pastor friends had all passed away this week. We are saddened by the news and so many people have stated that some leave us in three’s but these men of God seem to have a big influence in community.

Dallas Pastor Jerome McNeil of Christian Chapel CME Church Dies in Front Church Members

It’s a sad time for the congregation and community of Dallas area pastor of Christian Chapel CME Church. The pastor delivered his sermon as usual to the 150 year old church. This Sunday, July 15, the longtime Pastor Rev. Dr. Jerome E. McNeil, Jr., who was 63 years old, had just completed his sermon at the 10:45 a.m. One congregant says he was doing what he always does and suddenly while he walked down the aisle in the back of the sanctuary, he fall and collapsed to his death.
