EDWARDS, Pastor Neville - (August 25, 1941 - February 4, 2021) - It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pastor Neville George Edwards.
Pastor Neville was born and raised in St. Mary, Jamaica, where he had very colourful childhood with his 9 siblings, parents, Ernest & Meldora, and his wonderful Aunt Diddy. As a young boy, he experienced a divine miracle that would mold and change his life forever; even though he didn’t fully understand it at the time.
In 1961 Pastor Neville immigrated to England, where he learned different trades. In 1969 he ventured to Canada, where he laid down his roots.
Although Canada had much to offer, he always regarded Jamaica as his home. Pastor Neville loved the island of Jamaica for its weather, beaches, amazing foods and very colourful people. On a regular basis, Pastor Neville would recall so many childhood stories that were forever ingrained in him.
As an adult, Pastor Neville gave his heart to the Lord and vowed to serve Him all the days of life. He truly has fulfilled this promise he made to the Lord. Pastor Neville has had the opportunity of pastoring two churches for the past 25 years, that he took great delight in. The Lord blessed him with a tremendous deliverance ministry, that helps hundreds of people over the years.
Pastor Neville was blessed with the opportunity to take the good news of Jesus Christ to nations like China, Bolivia, St. Lucia, Trinidad, South Korea, Jamaica and many more. As 1 Timothy 4 says, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day…”
Pastor Neville has truly fought a good fight. He always led by example and sought God’s direction each step of the way. He always showed love to others and was always ready to offer an encouraging word. Great will be his reward.
Pastor Neville is survived by his wife Sandra, his two sons Richard and Ryan, his two daughters Lorna (Patrick) and Julie, his grandchildren Jhevon, Rayann, Jenai and Sebastian, and his 8 remaining siblings.
We can all take a chapter out of Pastor Neville’s life by doing unto others as we would have them do unto us.
Thank you for the wonderful memories. Thank you for the many laughs. Thank you for your unsurpassed humility. Thank you for your genuine love. Thank you!! We love you and miss you dearly.
