Jarrid Wilson Death, Obituary : Harvest Christian Fellowship Pastor Dies in Suicide.
California, Sept 11th 2019.
Jarrid Wilson mental health chancellor and advocate who also double as mega church pastor has killed himself, according to a statement released by Harvest Christian Fellowship Church.
“It is with the deepest sadness and shock that I have to report that Jarrid Wilson went to be with the Lord last night,” senior pastor Greg Laurie wrote. “At a time like this, there are just no words. The Bible says, ‘There is a time to mourn.’ This is certainly that time.”
Laurie went on to share how important Wilson was to the congregation:
Jarrid loved the Lord and had a servant’s heart. He was vibrant, positive, and was always serving and helping others. Jarrid also repeatedly dealt with depression and was very open about his ongoing struggles. He wanted to especially help those who were dealing with suicidal thoughts.
People took to social media to pay their tribute to Pastor Jarrid.
Today, @JarridWilson passed to glory.
His last tweet was about helping the Bahamas. When Puerto Rico was struggling, he helped our NPO. When I released my book, he promoted it. When we disagreed, we texted as friends.
He was a good man.
And I am heartbroken.
Rest now amigo. https://t.co/7vPtBJlrF8— Carlos A. Rodríguez (@HappySonship) September 10, 2019

Heard this afternoon the awful news about @JarridWilson’s passing from our mutual agent. (Yes, we share a literary agent, believe it or not.) The human heart is a fragile thing, and born broken. Praying for his family, church, & friends. Jesus, come quickly. Come fix all of this.

Last Thursday, my friend @JarridWilson texted me about raising awareness for #SuicidePrevention month. His heart was bursting to help other people with their hurt. Last night he lost his own battle with depression. I’m so sad for him, his wife and his young kids.

So sad to hear of the loss of @JarridWilson.
Depression is a monster. Ugly, unrelenting, horrendous.
Death’s power has been wiped entirely, though we still feel the pangs of its sting till Christ returns.
