[Falla39]

Reverend Richard Allmon, pastor of Full Gospel United Pentecostal Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, passed away yesterday. Brother Allmon serves as presbyter at large in the Louisiana District and is on the Executive Advisory Board of the Apostolic Archives International, and the Nominating Committee for the Apostolic Ministerial Hall of Fame.

Please remember the Allmon family as well as the church family in your prayers.

I read on Facebook yesterday that this brother went HOME while
preaching in his pulpit! What a way to go!

He was a great man and pastor. From my understanding he did pass away in the pulpit. It is all surprising because he was an extremely fit and healthy man. He ran every morning and has done so for as long as I've known him. Please pray for his family and church. I can't imagine his church and family actually witnessing it. That sort of thing stays with you.

Praying for this family.

I wonder if this Man of God had a son
named Ricky Allmon? I remember going
to a Jackson College of Ministries concert
one time and he (Ricky) sang lead on
one of the songs recorded.

Yeah, that was probably Ricky Jr. He sings a lot.

So sorry to hear this. We will miss him at Louisiana Campmeeting.

So he "died with his boots on". :)

I want to die like my grandpa as well, in his sleep. Not like the screaming passengers in his car! (I know I know, old joke)

Not very. I would guess less than 60. He was in tremendous shape though.

From what I heard he was 58-ish, and his legs started giving out during an altar call. They called the ambulance, took him to the hospital, and he lingered there long enough to say "I'm gone." And then he was gone.

Wow. I just found out that the title of his last sermon was "I've Already Done Enough".

The last song played at his funeral should be Queen's "The Show Must Go On". :)

I have heard of other preachers who died after shortly after preaching.

The pastor of the church where Kansas Preacher (for those around when he was here) now pastors died that way. He had finished his message and worked in the altar a bit, sat down and asked for a drink of water, and then passed away while he waited.

I will be praying for this family during their time of loss.
