Elwyn Hall Obituary
Elwyn Vance Hall, 79, left his Earthly Home for his Heavenly Home on Thursday, May 2, 2019. Elwyn was born September 23, 1939, in Durham, NC where he lived most of his early years. In 1962 he proudly served his country by joining and being a part of the US Army from 1962-64. In 1964 he moved to Jacksonville, Florida and began working at Swift Meat Company until 1974. During this time God had given him a great gift of sharing the Gospel in Music & Speak- ing. His 1st Radio Program was a 15-minute program called "Lift Jesus Up! In 1974 he went to work for WBIX Radio Station where he began his Radio Ministry for the Lord. By 1980 God lead him and a business partner to buy, manage, etc an abandoned Radio Station. He named it "The Rose of Jacksonville" in honor of the "Rose of Sharon" in the Bible. Elwyn and WROS thrived with the help of the Lord and many businesses, patrons of the city, to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For 39 years he has spent his life serving God with whoever would listen. He always had a way of just drawing people to him and sharing the Word of God. Serving God was his Number One mission in this life! He also worked with the Jacksonville Sher- iff's Office under Dale Carson, Sr. from 1978 to 1984 & made many life-long friends there.
Elwyn had a dry wit and a very imaginative brain. He could keep you laughing and entertained for hours. He loved music but he also had a very strong love for his pets. He would take them for rides, walks, rock them in the chair or swing, etc. Anyone who listened to him knew all about his dogs; mainly Rags, Mags, Wags, and his newest puppy, Vance. He also loved Siamese cats and he had Grumpy & Action Jackson.
He is survived by his Wife, Robyne Turner Hall, Mother, Hazel B. Brinkley, Orange Park, FL, Son, Dean V. Hall (Christina) of Ormond Beach, FL, Sisters, Gay Barbour (Steve) of Roxboro, NC & Joyce Carey of Orange Park, FL. Step-Grandaughters, Harmonie & Haven Burney, Ormond Beach, FL. He also has several Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews & Cousins, whom he loved very much.

I found his radio show " wayfaring Stranger " by accident one day. Listened every day at 3pm. He played the best gospel music on the planet. I loved his stories and his preaching. I only found out today he had passed. I lost touch with the show a few years ago. His son spoke about his passing today on the show. I phoned the station and talked with him a few yrs ago about a song he played...he sent me a copy on a disc. That was so sweet. He is missed now and I thank God he sent this man and his talent to us. Ty for keeping the show going. Kelly Sisson

I always loved Elwyn & Robyn and was looking him up to call and have one of our long and Lord filled conversations when I saw this.
Well done, good and faithful servant, way more well-faring than ever before!

Needless to say, I was shocked to hear the passing of my Brother in Christ, Elwyn Hall.
I've been a listener of WROS since the 1980's and Brother Hall has been like family to me for all these years. Truly, a man that loved the Lord.
Well, he's gone away from this 'sin cursed world', but he's doing MUCH better than us all now, for sure.
My the Lord continue to bless WROS in his passing.
My sincere condolence.

Brother Elwyn you are loved. I send my prayers and encouragement to your family. I will always consider it a privilege to have known you, to have you pray for me and to pray for you. You always said God will send you a Moses, and He did. We may not have always seen eye to eye but you will forever be in my heart and my friend.

Elwyn didn't know me, but I was a loyal listener to WROS and his program The Wayfaring Stranger for many years. I was shocked today to hear he had passed away. I will miss his voice and his program(s) on WROS. I know he is with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thank you for bringing wonderful, inspirational gospel music to Jacksonville! We will miss you and pray WROS will continue with your work and legacy.
