With humble hearts and complete trust in the sovereign will of God, we, the Rankin family, announce the peaceful and triumphant transition of my beloved father, Rev. Dr. T.H. Rankin, Jr.

A devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, and faithful servant, Dad dedicated his life to the work of the Kingdom. For decades, he poured himself into ministry—preaching and teaching the love of Christ to everyone he encountered. His wisdom, integrity, and unwavering faith left an indelible mark on our family.

While our hearts are broken, we rejoice in knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

As we prepare to celebrate his life, we kindly ask for your prayers and understanding. Please respect our privacy during this sacred time of grief and reflection as we lean on one another and on God’s strength.

Service details will be shared in the days to come.

My mind tells me the reality, but my heart is still awaiting your call, text & visit. I often play back in my mind what could I have possibly done to change or offset the series of events on Aug 9th. 😔 @kurvanr #iMissMyBro #RememberingKurvan #Gonetoosoon #YouShouldBeHereK taken in Trak Fire House Recording Studios by @therealtrakfire

“ oh what a change in my life”
I wanted to highlight today, my gospel group @ric_renewedinchrist @_smgfamily

Writing gospel music will always be my first love. It taught me how to be a producer, musician, Arranger, Writer, but more importantly to pen words that people can relate to through scripture and personal experiences. This song and video was made and shot during Covid with some of the best musicians/brothers-Sister I know from the tri-state area in California @jmothegreat 🎸 @therealtrakfire studios in New Jersey….

Shout out to my brother for 10 years and counting @sir.eniary who came up during Covid for literally 24 hours and shot two music videos for me. He came out of retirement for me lol

Good times..
