Legendary Christian Worship Leader, Ron Kenoly, Dies at 81

Legendary American Christian worship leader, singer, and songwriter, Ron Kenoly, has died at the age of 81.
The legend’s longtime music director, Bruno Miranda, confirmed the sad news in a statement posted on the singer’s official Instagram page, revealing that Kenoly died on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
Miranda praised the departed singer, describing him as a mentor and spiritual father.
“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. Doc was very intentional about one thing: 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.”
Miranda eulogised his late mentor’s philosophy of worship, underscoring Kenoly’s role in guiding people into sincere reverence for God.
“Off the stage, Doc carried the same integrity, humility, and reverence for God that the world saw under the lights. He taught me that worship begins long before the first note is played, shaped by obedience, character, and a deep fear of the Lord.
“Until we meet again, my pastor, my mentor, my friend.”
