President David O. McKay, prophet, seer, and revelator of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died this morning. He was 96, the oldest living General Authority in this dispensation, having served as an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ since April 1906.
His passing takes with him the hearts of many people from many lands. His kindly counsel, his loving wisdom, his grateful example will all be missed. There is no doubt that the Lord is at the head of His Church and that another will soon be anointed to stand as His mouthpiece and prophet. I loved President McKay. Although never having personally met him (I have been in his presence), I feel the loss of a personal friend. In his life, more than in any other man of this generation, could I see in perfection a truly Christlike life.
