In Loving Memory of Richard Hempton Jr.
Sunrise: — | Sunset: Easter Morning, 2025
It is with profound sorrow and gratitude for a life of purpose that we share the passing of Richard Hempton Jr., who went home to be with the Lord on Easter morning—a fitting departure for a man who dedicated his life to Christ. Richard was not only a devoted minister and spiritual leader, but also the heart and founder of Battlefield News: One Army, a publication and ministry rooted in unity, faith, and the unwavering truth of the Gospel.
Richard’s mission was clear: to bring together believers across denominations and remind the world that the church is one body, one voice, one army under Christ. Through his work, countless ministries were uplifted, countless lives were touched, and the message of Jesus was kept boldly at the center of every conversation.
To those who knew him, Richard was more than a minister—he was a shepherd, a mentor, a friend. His passion for serving others, his unshakeable faith, and his vision for unity made him a beacon of hope in a divided world. He ministered not only with words but with action, always ready to lend a helping hand, offer a prayer, or speak truth in love.
Richard leaves behind a legacy that stretches far beyond his family, though they were always closest to his heart. He was a loving father, a treasured friend, and a pillar in the faith community. Now, in this time of grief, his family faces not only emotional loss but also the practical and financial challenges that come with saying goodbye to someone who gave so selflessly throughout his life.
In honor of Richard’s life and ministry, his family humbly seeks support to help cover final expenses and to celebrate his life in the spirit he would have wanted—one of love, faith, and togetherness. Every contribution, prayer, and message of comfort is a reminder of how deeply Richard’s work impacted others.
Let us carry forward his mission. Let us walk in the unity he preached. Let us remember that in Christ, we are all one army—and in that army, Richard Hempton Jr. was a faithful and fearless general.
Rest in heavenly peace, Richard. Your race is run, your crown awaits, and your legacy marches on. ✝️🕊️
