It is with deepest sadness we share with you that on the morning of September 15, 2014, Dr. William Loveless passed away, bringing an end to decades of passionate service to God and others. Dr. Loveless served on the leadership team of LLBN as a board member and was also a mentor, confidante, brother and father-figure to many of those involved. His compassion, passion, wisdom and faith had a tremendous impact on all he came into contact with. He always saw people for their potential as long as they were willing to make a difference. LLBN would not be where it is today were it not for this giant of a man who stood behind this ministry and its mission from the very beginning and believed in it when few others did.

In addition to being on the LLBN board and that of various other organizations, Bill served as the Pastor of Sligo Adventist Church (1957-1970), Senior Pastor of Loma Linda University Church (1970-1976 & 1990-2000), President of the Pennsylvania Conference (1976-1978), President of Columbia Union College (1978-1990), Professor at La Sierra University (1990-1994), Professor for the LLU Faculty of Religion (1990-2000), and Professor in the Department of Educational Services and Behavioral Science Section for LLU School of Dentistry (August 13, 2000-September 20, 2013). He also had a marriage and family therapy practice for several years.
