I was truly blessed to have met Rev. Dr. Augustus Francis several years ago at Planet Fitness. He always shared sound advice & words of wisdom; he was very kindhearted & he had a spirit about him that you do not see/experience with most people. My condolences to the family. As others have stated, he will be missed but not forgotten.

My condolences to the Family. Dr. Francis was always a Joy to work with. He was always kind and assisted me when my office needed training classrooms. I knew I could count on him even at the last minute. His smile was contagious. May the Family find peace with his passing. He is at peace.

Sending condolences to the Family. Mr. Francis always had words of encouragement. What a great feeling to have met a man, have a conversation that always included a word about our God. To the family, yes there is a void in your life for now. My prayer is that you continue to trust God in all you do and He will give you comfort, peace, and Love.

As Pastor of the New Bride Christian Church and on behalf of My Wife and the entire Church Family I want to extend to this family my sincere condolences and sympathy in this time of your loss. I want to thank God almighty for allowing me to have my dear friend, mentor, confidant and brother in Christ as my advisor and Assistant Pastor. Dr. Augustus Francis was truly one who loved the Lord and understood the importance of walking in the spirit, telling the truth and being genuine at all times. His message resonated like John the Baptist calling men and women everywhere to repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Dr. Francis was never overly zealous or ambitious about ministry, pastoring or spiritual positions but He knew what the Lord desired for him and focused on allowing the Lord to lead him. His humility, spiritual strength and long suffering were unparallel amongst those I have had an opportunity to minister with. He was hard man, a fair man and a man gifted with wisdom, knowledge and understanding directly from God himself. He was blessed with a spirit of discernment and the ability to resolve complex issues. We will truly miss you but we will never forget you and your ministry.

Rev Dr Alphonso Thomas Sr.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Rev Francis. Sending prayers to the entire family. I learned so many Christian Nuggets from him. Will be greatly missed.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Death is never easy, and it hurts so bad. Jesus even wept when his friend Lazarus died. Rev 21:3,4 helps us to see that there is a future and a hope.

Amelia

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
