Pastor Humphrey had three churches under his wing at his time of death; two in California and one in Chicago. Humphrey’s mentee, Pastor Greg Hunter, said his pastor died doing what he loved. This is where the church is putting the emphasis surrounding his untimely passing. He enjoyed preaching and singing and always gave his all when doing so. Hunter added:

He brought all people together. For years he walked the streets and met with drug addicts and gangbangers that had been enemies and made them begin to love.
