Ron Kenoly, the Legendary American singer-songwriter, has passed away at the age of 81. A gospel singer breathed her last on Tuesday, February 3.
His music director, Bruno Miranda, announced the singer’s death on his social media account.
“This morning, Feb. 3, 2026, we said goodbye to Dr. Ron Kenoly,” Bruno penned on his Instagram. “For over 20 years, I had the honor of walking alongside him in ministry around the world, not just as his music director, but as a son, a student, and a witness to a life marked by faithfulness.”
He further said, “He was never an artist, never an entertainer. He was a worship leader. And he took all the time necessary to explain what that truly meant.”
“A worship leader’s calling is not to perform songs, but to lead people into true worship in the presence of a King; the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. … Today we grieve deeply but not without hope. The worship he lived is now the worship he beholds,” added Bruno.
