Pop Winans, Family Patriarch Dies

Posted by Whit Honea

 

The patriarch of the Winans family, David "Pop" Winans, has died at the age of 76 after suffering a recent heart attack and stroke.

David Winans was the father of BeBe and CeCe Winans who performed together and Michael, Marvin, Carvin and Ronald who performed as The Winans.  All together the Winans had ten children and nine grandchildren.

Pop and his wife Mom were regulars on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

In a released statement the family said: "The Winans family wishes to thank everyone for their prayers and continued support, but would appreciate privacy at this time."

Services will be held Tuesday and Wednesday in Detroit.

I would like to take out the time to say that I appreciate the ministry that the Lord has for this family, you never would have known that through your music, I stay saved, because the words pierced through my heart and I know that GOD was allowing you as a family to ministry to my spirit and it still doesn't to this day. The older version of your songs, linger with my soul, to allow GOD to keep my in line with HIS Words through your song, especially CECE alabaster box.  They don't know the cost so that can't go on my journey.  Love and prayers are with you and yours.
