A Tribute to 
Dr. William Loveless
1928-2014

 

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.

A memorial service will be held at the Loma Linda University Church on Sunday, September 28, 2014 at 2:00 pm (Pacific time), and will be broadcasted live on LLBN.

Dr. Edna Maye Loveless has specified that donations in the memory of her husband can be made to LLBN, LLU School of Dentistry, or Calexico Mission School.

 

We thank God for the incredible opportunity He gave LLBN to work with Bill and to learn from him. We look forward to the day when we will be reunited with him when Christ returns, but till then, we will miss him dearly.

 

Please join us in keeping his family in our prayers.

Oct 6: Rather than condemn the world, He saved it. (John 3:17)
Oct 7: Rather than be exalted, He served. (John 13:1-17)
Oct 8: Rather than establish boundaries, He tore down walls. (Galatians 3:28-29)
Oct 9: Rather than succumbing to pressure to fit in or receive accolades, He retreated to quiet places to spend time with His Father. (Luke 5:16)
Oct 10: Rather than save Himself, He saved the world. (John 3:16)

 

“During this Week of Renewal, we get to compare once again the domains of our making with the one that Jesus came to offer. It is our hope that we will choose to accept the invitation to make a paradigm shift and become a part of the kingdom of heaven,” Brooks says.
