A Tribute To John Dye
Author: siggyIt was a shock when I learned (via the internet) that John Dye died of a heart attack: he was only 47. John Dye was the angel of death in “Touched By An Angel”–a role he was perfect for.
He played the role on TV with such humanity. The show ran nine years. By the third he had become a regular. His stance toward death was biblical but his touch was not heavy handed.
He left so many memories in that role. Even in death he will continue to impact others who discover or view again the episodes of “Touched By An Angel”. I am sure he is on the other side.
He did not bludgeon you with hell. Sure it was a possibility. He did not use that word. He emphasized the positive–how much God wanted a relationship with you. He was totally believable and he will be missed.
