George William Bogle Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of George W. Bogle (Redford, Michigan), who passed away on February 12, 2021 at the age of 86. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
He was predeceased by : his siblings, Bill (Fran) and Lucille Griffin (Bill). He is survived by : his spouse Shirley; his children, George Jr. (Julie), Tim (Amy), Tara and Kirk (Ashly); his grandchildren, Rick, Chad, Brent (Agata), Blair (Morgan), Coleton and Luke; his great grandchild Mario; and his siblings, Sharon Middleton (William) and Joe (Joann). He is also survived by his in-laws, and many nieces and nephews.
Pastor Bogle moved his family to the City of Detroit in 1970 to minister to families and communities in need of healing. He hosted a nightly call-in prayer broadcast from midnight to 3 A.M. that touched millions of people over nearly six decades of ministry, and which continues in his stead to this day. He taught that every day of living is a gifted opportunity to know God more, and to walk in victory with Jesus.
Among his many ministries were a church with three locations, two K-12 academies, a Christian restaurant, gym, singles residence, television and radio broadcasts, coffeehouse ministry at Detroit’s legendary Grande Ballroom, an operating farm and kids camp in western Michigan, a community carnival, and various job training ministries for the men of Detroit, including a trucking academy and auto repair shop. He was recipient of two “Spirit of Detroit Awards,” the highest honor the Detroit City Council bestows, two "Mayoral Proclamations", and was the subject of "Michigan Senate and House of Representatives Joint Resolution #306", which acknowledges "the high esteem in which he is held by the Michigan legislature." His family and flock take comfort and pride in his many accomplishments. Rev. Bogle remained steadfast and faithful: to God and to God alone be the glory.
