R.I.P.: Glenn Beck's Father Passes Away

Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck’s father passed away over the weekend at the age of 86, and Beck said on his radio program Monday that something remarkable happened just before he died, according to Beck's newssite The Blaze.

“My father didn’t — he believed in God, but he didn’t believe in — I don’t even know,” Beck said, struggling to describe his father’s beliefs. “My sisters had told him several times, ‘Dad, unless you accept Jesus as your savior, you’re going someplace warm.’ And he had always rejected that.”
Beck said he just asked his father to “keep an open mind” when the time came, and his father promised him he would.

“My father slipped in and out of consciousness for a while,” Beck recalled. “And then he sat up in bed, looked up at the ceiling corner as if someone was there, and he said, ‘Yes? OK. I understand. I’m ready. Take me with you.’ And he closed his eyes.”
