I was saddened to hear of the passing of Chief Turner, we spent several years working together in the service of the Lord at lLovefeast COGIC. He always had a big smile and hug to great us each Sunday! Chief was a loyal, dedicated, servant to God, his pastor and church. He spoke frequently of his love and admiration for his beautiful (inside and out) wife Mother Betty Turner and his immense love of his family. He also loved his pastor Clarence J. Harris, Sr and his Lovefeast church family dearly! Chiefs presence and commitment were unwavering and you could always depend on him. So Brother Turner take your rest, you have certainly earned and deserve it! I will see you on the other side. I send from California condolences, love and light to the Turner family! Myself and so many others loved and will certainly miss Chief. Continuing to pray that Gods peace and comfort be upon you all!

When I met Mr. Turner I imagined him an admired him as a stoic,brave Indian leader and thus too called him "Chief". Yet I recognized he also had quite a tender heart sensitive to his family and the people he cared for. He and his wife always exhibited a special care for both family and the household of Faith-his church family.Sis.Bettye T. I call her Mrs. Chief- a loving soft spoken-well poised lady all the way supported our dutiful "Chief"Turner no matter how frequent, late or early he would go to church to make certain of its safety and welfare of the people. I thank God for the moral support & peppermint candies and words of wisdom given with often encouragements. ALSO for the security team he "fathered"/mentored along the way and do trust his legacy of a loving "Chief" and man of God will carry on reign.

Chief will forever be my friend. Though we were decades apart in age, genuine.
