Fred Phelps Sr., the former head of the Westboro Baptist Church, died late Wednesday night, according to a family member.

Phelps' son, Timothy told 13 News that his father died just before midnight. Timothy Pheps works at the Shawnee Co. Jail.

Ironically, another son who is a member of the church, attorney Jonathan Phelps told us Thursday morning, "Pastor Phelps is doing just fine." That, of course, could have been a spiritual reference.

Over the weekend, we learned that Phelps was reportedly "on the edge of death."

In a statement on his Facebook page, Nathan Phelps, who has been estranged from his father for 30 years, said the senior Phelps was dying in hospice care in Topeka, Kan., and that he had been ex-communicated from his own church in August of 2013.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say something nice about Fred............




I got nothing!

[Billthedrill]

Well, OK, I'll give it a try.

Fred was not as bad a guy as he otherwise might have been if he...

Still nuthin'.

[Valin]

GOD HATES FRED ? :-)

[Valin]

Thanks for at least giving it a shot.

I wonder if Algore will show up?

[yield 2 the right]

I feel bad for the lost soul if he did not repent his sins enough, as for the person, I am glad he is no longer of this realm called life.

That works!

Fight fire with fire. If they feel no pain then nothing changes.

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD,
I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked;
but that the wicked turn from his way and live:
turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways;
for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”
Ezekiel 33:10,11

Another obammy supporter, no doubt…...

No. He was caught masturbating.

[Red Badger]

No, no, no!

RIH, AH

[DoodleDawg]

Another obammy supporter, no doubt…...

Not considering the way Obama is soft on homosexuality.

[basil]

Well—I forgot about that…..

[WayneS]

It DOES drive them crazy.

[DoodleDawg]

On the other hand if he were an Obama supporter then that might explain his recent excommunication. Of course, he’s also six kinds of senile so how would Fred really know?

[SandRat]

I've not wished another Americans Death, but I have smile at reading his Obituary.

[miserare]

There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight!

[envisio]

Yeah, I didn’t get that either...
