Elder D’Angelo A. Person

Sr. Minister | Funeral Professional | Servant Leader

Elder D’Angelo A. Person Sr. is a licensed and ordained Elder and a dedicated preacher of the gospel. His journey in ministry began at the remarkably young age of five, when he first started preaching and singing. By the age of thirteen, he was officially licensed as a minister and began passionately spreading the Word across pulpits and communities.

Born with a heart for service, Elder Person also developed a deep connection to the funeral profession early in life. As the only minister in his family, he was often called upon to eulogize loved ones—an experience that shaped his calling to provide both spiritual and emotional care during life’s most difficult moments.

Ordained as an Elder on January 24, 2024, Elder Person continues to serve with distinction. Now at age 28, his youthful energy, compassion, and unwavering commitment are evident in every aspect of his ministry and professional work. Whether in the sanctuary or at the funeral home, he brings dignity, faith, and heartfelt service to every family he encounters.
