Actor Luke Perry died in his home in Sherman Oaks, California today, March 4th after suffering a major stroke. He was 52 and a father of two.
Luke Perry, best known for his role as Dylan Mckay on the show long-running Beverly Hills, 90210, had been in nearly 50 films, and starred in the faith-based film Welcome Home.

A rep for Luke Perry issued a state on behalf of the actor and his family, “[Perry] was surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancé Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, and other close family and friends. The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning. No further details will be released at this time.”
Our prayers go out to Luke’s fiancé, his children, and all his family and friends who are grieving right now. May they seek comfort in the Lord today.
Luke Perry’s abrupt end to his life and career is a reminder to us that none of us know when our last day may be. Even the rich and famous cannot buy immortality. The Bible says life it but a vapor (James 4:14).
If you died today, do you know where you are going? Do you have peace that you will be in Heaven?
We invite you today to prayer with us for salvation! For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
Pray this today and let Jesus comes into your life!
