Traveling musical minister from Gretna who died from COVID-19 remembered as 'a modern-day Apostle Paul'
......66-year-old husband, Landon Spradlin, who had the virus.
Her husband of 35 years died early Wednesday morning, the family said, because of complications from COVID-19 and double pneumonia. He had been on a ventilator for more than a week at Concord, North Carolina, hospital Atrium Health Cabarrus.
Family and friends will remember Landon Spradlin as a kind man, a gifted musician, and “not just a normal minister” who was well-known and loved by many.
“My father was a very big bunch of people-loving, Jesus-loving dynamite in a small package,” said Judah Strickland, one of Spradlin’s five children.
This is Josh. Law and Order SUV crew member:I want to share this post from MY friend, a teacher and colleague. My heart is broken for him. And for all of this.
This makes it very real.
“This morning my best friend, Josh, died from complications of Covid-19 in a hospital in New York City. My heart is broken. You might know that in nearly all things I compulsively look for the lesson, the deeper message, the bigger meaning. But for this, all meaning is absent. All I have is this...
Josh was my best friend. I never told him that, and he had so many friends I don’t know if he would have returned that title to me. And that’s okay. There was more than enough of Josh’s friendship to be shared. Me, on the other hand... the number of people I’ve allowed to get truly close in my lifetime can be counted on one hand. Most of them have dropped off along the way. Until now, Josh remained.
He was a guide for me in ways he didn’t realize. He reminded me how to have fun. He would be the first to roll his eyes and say, “Oh Lord” when I got too full of myself. In one of the darkest periods of my life I sobbed with my head in his lap, and then he took me to the bars, and we spent an entire weekend alternating between those two things. Josh was my best friend and was my family. Josh felt like home. Now Josh is gone.
Josh, I will miss you for the rest of my life.“
RIP Josh Wallwork
