I have known Mr. Debose since I was a little girl when he was the Minister of Minister at 5th street MBC. He was very talented, poised, and a well-respected man. It's been a long time since I saw him and the last time it was at 5th Street he was there for a funeral. He will be missed by all because he was a Giant in the music community. Rest well sir you have earned your wings and have flown home to your eternal home. You're singing and directing the heavenly angelic choir.
