President Trump Tweets About Billy Graham’s Passing

The great Christian evangelist Billy Graham has passed away. I didn’t know this beforehand, but my grandfather told me he actually got saved at one of Graham’s services almost 60 years ago.

I just thought that was cool.

Graham was 99 years old and died of “natural causes.”

The Rev. Billy Graham , the Christian evangelist whose worldwide crusades and role as adviser to decades of U.S. presidents made him one of the best known religious figures of his time, died Wednesday at age 99 at his home in Montreat, N.C, Todd Shearer of DeMoss Associates told Fox News.

Graham, who had been in ill health for a number of years, was regularly listed in polls as one of the “Ten Most Admired Men in the World.”

Shearer told Fox News that Graham died from “natural causes.”

Twitter is full of tributes…

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ’I love you.’ – Billy Graham #welldonegoodandfaithfulservant pic.twitter.com/oXu57xPGoV

Blunt, but definitely respectful.

Billy Graham will be missed.
