David Winans Obituary
A statement from a Los Angeles public relations company representing the family said he died at a Nashville hospice, where he had been since January after suffering a heart attack and stroke last October.
In 1999, Winans was nominated for a Grammy for his solo CD "Uncensored." He and his wife Delores, known as Mom Winans, were nominated for their CD "Mom & Pop Winans" in 1989. She was at his bedside when he died, the statement said.
He was the father of BeBe and CeCe Winans, known for their hits "Addictive Love" and "I'll Take You There." Four other children - Michael, Marvin, Carvin and Ronald - performed as The Winans, recording such songs as "Ain't No Need to Worry" featuring Anita Baker.
In recent years, Mom and Pop Winans appeared regularly at Benny Hinn crusades and on The Trinity Broadcasting Network's "Praise the Lord" program.
David Winans, a native of Detroit, began singing with a gospel quartet at age 18.
He later worked as a car salesman, taxi driver, custodian, barber and also was a preacher. After four of his children signed a recording contract, he was their manager for a while.
David Winans also helped start youth groups in Detroit. The Winans had 10 children. Son Ronald died in 2005.
"The Winans family wishes to thank everyone for their prayers and continued support, but would appreciate privacy at this time," the statement said.
Memorial services are planned for next Tuesday and Wednesday at Perfecting Church in Detroit where Marvin is the senior pastor.

CeCe you may not remember me but when you were in Hawaii I lived there. You said that your mom and dad had so many children that they began to use letters. I did not want to send this to you sooner because even though I know you are a woman of faith there is always an appropriate time to say certain things. I wish you and your entire family God’s Choicest Blessings as you continue through the healing and adjusting process.

He and his lovely wife were blessed with the gift of song that has been passed throughout generations and will continue. God blessed him with a powerful way to reach sinners by touching them with song and love. My deepest sympathies go out to his wife and children. They are a phenomenal family. An example of love and worship for the ages. May God bless his memory to continue to do the great work in God's name.

I am saden at the lost of this Great Soldier of the Cross.Heaven is much brighter, because he let his light so shine for the Glorification of God. I know that God was at the Gate waiting his arrival, so he could walk the street of gold with him and give Pop is due reward that God promise to those who live a Godly and Holy life.
The World has lost a true Godly Man and my heart is mourning, but God makes not mistakes. Thank God for the Life presence of Pop on earth.

Sorry to read about the passing of
Mr. David Winans Sr.
Death is truly an enemy of us all.
Tragically we also lost our father to this enemy in 2008.
Thanks to our loving Creator Jehovah, we Hope to see our father Resurrected to life here on a cleansed Earth. Where all diseases & illnesses will also be removed.

Then God said that the garden need another even more lovely looking flowers so He looked and saw Pop Wainans and said "This lovely one would complete my garden" Don't weep continue to lift up the name of Jesus for we will all meet some day soon around the Heavenly Banquet Table and then it will be Oh what singing.

To Mom Winans & entier Winans family;
I wish to express my deepest sympathy & prayers to you all. I didn't know that Pop had gone on to be with our Lord, until last night when I was watching Praise the Lord and CeCe had mentioned it. I don't know if you'll ever get to read this, but I wanted to send much love & prayers to your family.
Pop & Mom Winans have been a great inspiration to me over the years as well the whole family. Pop reminded me of my late father who was also a Pastor. I pray that I can in still into my family the way Mom & Pop have in stilled into your family. Count it all Joy to have the that you all have!!
Weeping may enduer for a night but Joy comes in the morning!!! God had called His servant home to be with Hime. Servant well done, well done!! May God continue to Bless, Keep & Comfort you all now & forever more is my prayer. Keep serving the Lord & Blessing His Saints. LaVonzelle Brown(Topeka,Ks.)

My name is Sukenna Nicholson. I have been following the Winans family since I was a little girl, I am almost 40 Yrs old.
You are all in my most sincere prayers and thoughts. May the angels of the Lord be encamped and have charge over your entire family, especially Mom Winans.
May the anointing of God bring the necessary healing from the inside out.
Pop Winans and Ronald are and always will be sorely missed.
May they rest in Christ until He cracks the sky and sounds the trumpet. They are where a lot of us want to be, in a time like we are living in now. They are done with the troubles of this world. Excellent place to be, asleep in Christ.
Much love, concern, and intercession.

To the entire Winans family:
My dad was called home to be with the Lord in June of 1996, it's still painful today, but I get comfort in knowing that Daddy is with the Lord. So Winan family, whenever you feel sad, lonely, or just miss Pop Winan, just be assured that He is with Jesus, knowing this carried me through the first days of my father's death, and it is still carrying me today.
Be encouraged, Pop Winan is with Jesus.

Passing From This Life
I have passed from this life,
to a land on God's celestial shore
where pain and hunger are no more.
The Lord has guided me
with his peace,
in my time of need,
when death came into my room.
He took me by the hand
and led me to that land
where suffering is no more
on that other shore.
Saints, I have passed from
this life to a better life.
I have passed from this life
into eternity with Jesus.
