Pop Winans Dies Dead Death Funeral Pics Photos

David 'Pop' Winans Sr, the patriarch of the award-winning gospel music family, has died in Tennessee at the age of 74

The singer died at a Nashville hospice, where he had been since January after suffering a heart attack and stroke last October, his family announced.

"The Winans family wishes to thank everyone for their prayers and support, but would appreciate privacy at this time," a statement said.

Pop was the father of well known gospel singers BeBe and CeCe Winans.

There were three things Pop Winans had plenty of: faith in God, love for his family and natural-born talent.
