A man of humility, a vessel of grace, and a true worshipper who gave his life to the glory of God.

Ron Kenoly walked in profound spiritual depth, filled with the Holy Spirit, sound in the Scriptures, and deeply moving in both word and song.

He carried the presence of God wherever he ministered, lifting hearts and nations into the atmosphere of worship and reverence. It was our privilege to host him on multiple occasions in Nigeria and internationally, where he poured out his heart in service to God and the Body of Christ.

Though our hearts are heavy, we submit to the perfect will of God, taking comfort in the blessed assurance that a life spent in faithful devotion is never in vain. His Spirit-filled songs, his legacy, and his impact will continue to speak across generations.

We commiserate with his beloved family, his wife, children, grandchildren, and pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort, strengthen, and abide with them at this critical time.

May his memory be blessed forever.

To God alone be all the glory for a life poured out in worship and truth.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord… that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” Revelation 14:13.

Kenoly was behind hit songs like Majesty, Righteousness, Peace & Joy, Anointing, All honour, Sing out, among others.
