OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE HYLES FAMILY:

Tuesday, February 6, 2001, 12:00 pm.

This morning at 9:43 am, Dr. Jack Hyles went to be with the Lord.  His

family was at his side in his final hours.  He was free of pain at the

time of his death.

The family is grateful for the prayers of people all over the world. 

Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time, but will be announced

as soon as possible.

The family requests that no flowers or food be sent to the Hyles' home,

but they do covet your continued prayers.  Although we lost a husband,

father, grandfather, and brother, we are aware that this is not our

loss alone, but that millions all over the world share with us in our

sense of great grief.

Bro. Hyles touched millions of lives, even those who attended him in

those final hours.
