Christian author and pastor Tim Keller passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 72.

“It is with a heavy heart that I write today to inform you that Redeemer Presbyterian Church founder and long-time senior pastor, Tim Keller, passed away this morning at age 72, trusting in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection,” said Bruce Terrell on behalf of the Redeemer Network Leadership Team.

“We are forever grateful for his leadership, heart, and dedication to sharing the love of Christ with others,” Terrell continued.

Timothy J. Keller, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, friend, pastor, and scholar died this morning at home. Dad waited until he was alone with Mom. She kissed him on the forehead and he breathed his last breath. We take comfort in some of his last words…
