He furthered his education with the Electrical Apprenticeship Program at Huntington-Ingalls Shipbuilding, where he worked as a Journeyman Electrician. He united with the Church of the Living God, Temp!e #42, at an ear!y age and began his journey with the gift of a song. Willie had a consuming passion for singing God's Word and shared it with others always and everywhere. On August 31, 1996, he married the sugar in his coffee; the love of his life, Kesha Laverne Robinson. This union was blessed with a son, Breelon Javon and a daughter, Kierra Mone'. The PUGHS were a dynamic ministry; preaching, teaching and singing along with his sister, LaTicha Pugh, the Word of God. Willie readily accepted his call into the ministry and in July, 2013, he was ordained an Elder in the body of the Church of the Living God. He received his first pastoral appointment in July, 2015 and was assigned to Temple #113 in McKenzie, AL. Thus began an awesome task of service unto the Lord, to the church, and to the surrounding community. Willie was called home to glory on Friday, February 2, 2018.

To the family of Mr. Willie Pugh, I am very sorry for the loss of your loved one. Hope of things to come gives us strength to have faith in things unseen. May the words of Isaiah 33:24 comfort you and give you hope and faith ?Ç£And no resident will say: ?Ç£I am sick.?ÇØThe people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error?ÇØ
We are truly sorry for your loss. Willie will be missed by many. Our deepest condolences to your family during these hard times. May you find comfort in JEHOVAH?ÇÖs loving promise at Revelation 21:4 and Isaiah 25:8..
Jesus, it saddens us to hear you are mourning the loss of your dear husband. May you find strength and comfort from the words of Psalms 34:18. It reads: ?Ç£Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.' Our loving God is there for us if we ask for his help (1 John 5:14). He didn't intend for us to grow old and die. He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11). Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us. You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection.
