Though it has been some years since the home going of Pastor Hyde, truly as the statements above state, his work follow him. There are still times in my life that I recall the influence that he had in my ministry, both there and since his home going. There was never a time of self praise, self desire that it didn't come forth as a PRAISE to GOD. To say there were times that we were at odds, is just to make a statement that these odds were man's determination. I am just waiting for the day that I will be "At the Crossing", knowing that Preacher Hyde along with others will be there to help me "cross the tide". To the family left behind, I would say as he would say, "Keep on Keeping ON, for them that GOES, GETTS". Our prayers are with you each day ahead. Brother Lee and Sister Brenda Godfrey.

I only knew precher for just a year,but i knew he was a special man. There are many men that prech every Sunday, but this man believed every word and loved this word everyday. Hey made me feel welcome like he known me all my life. He was a true man of god and never swayed in his faith no matter the cause. I,m the lucky one to have met him and it was a honor to know him.

Sister Hyde and family: We are sorry to hear of the loss of such a faithful servant of God. Living out of State, we mostly knew Brother Hyde from our visits to Virginia, but found him to always be a warm,friendly, and compassionate servant of God. May you have peace in knowing he is with his Savior - and that we will see him soon.
Love, In Christ, Larry & Gisela Parker

What an amazingly meek and humble man of God he was. His testimony will continue to live on in all those that knew him. I will never forget him and the impact that he still has on my life. Though I will miss him and lament his passing, I rejoice in the fact that he is walking on streets of gold with loved ones that went on to be with the Lord before him. What a blessing it was to have him as my preacher.

What a precious man of God! He was our Pastor, teacher and mentor for 32 yrs. A very dear friend. Such a loving, giving and humble servant. He was always there whenever he was needed. We are so blessed to have been under his ministry. He will be greatly missed, but we rejoice in the assurance that he is safely sheltered in the arms of God. When we are all together again, and we receive our crowns, there is no doubt that we will be waiting a while for the Preacher to cast all of his at the Savior's feet. We love this faithful servant so much! Praying that God's grace will sustain the family through the coming days.

Hyde Family..Reading over the kind remarks there is something that is said by all, that is "he was a good, kind man", this is true, but he was only this because the love of his Savior was the heart beat of his life. It was shown no matter what the reason for the visit, Christ lived through him, and his desire was to see others let Christ live through them. Those short five years of working together can never be given a price of worth, for because of Christ, our walk was to the glory of the Lord. May you always look beyond this time and keep your eyes upon the Lord for one day the "circle will be mended" and all of God's children will be gathered home together for ever. In our prayers, Godfrey Family

Pastor Hyde and his whole family have truly been a blessing to us in the short time we've known them. His giving of himself to encourage us in our Williamsburg church plant was a selfless act of love we will never forget. The thought of reuniting with him one day makes Heaven sweeter yet!

The loss of a loved one can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope and the promise of celebrating a new life when we see our Savior face to face will be worth it all! To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. What glory that will be! Remembering Brother Hype for the blessing he was and the compassionate heart he shared with so many. God Bless you and your family during this time. With prayers and love,

Shirley and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of Pastor Hyde and the family. I remember the times I spent at your home with Charlie (Charlene). Pastor Hyde married my husband Joe and I almost 45 years ago and my son and his wife in 2009. He was truly a special man, loving and devoted husband and father. You could see the love and respect his congregation had for him. He will be missed by many.
