Pastor Gordon A. Humphrey Jr. of United Ministries gave his last service on Sunday.

The 60-year-old pastor was preaching at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago and singing Pharrell Williams' hit song "Happy" when he suddenly collapsed at the pulpit.

"I'm not sure if they determined the cause of death but it's been said he may have had a heart attack," Pastor Greg Hunter, a mentee of Humphrey, told the Christian Post.

Members of Humphrey's congregation immediately came to the pastor's aid but to no avail.

"They did call paramedics right away. They had people in the church that are in the medical field working on him as well and he was taken to the hospital," Hunter said.

Up to the time of his death, Humphrey had served as a senior pastor in Olivet Church in Oakland, California; Olivet Church in Stockton, California; and the Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago, where his father, Gordon Humphrey, Sr., pastored for some 40 years before him.
