Fred Phelps dies at age 84: Westboro Baptist Church founder was suffering from ‘health problems’
The Rev. Fred Phelps Sr., who founded a Kansas church widely known for its protests at military funerals and anti-gay sentiments, has died in a care facility. He was 84-years-old.
Margie Phelps said her father died shortly after midnight Thursday. None of Phelps’ children gave the cause of death or the condition that recently put the controversial anti-gay preacher in hospice care.
Phelps, 84, was being cared for in a Shawnee County facility, Westboro Baptist Church spokesman Steve Drain had said Sunday. Drain wouldn’t identify the facility.
“I can tell you that Fred Phelps is having some health problems,” Drain said at the time. “He’s an old man, and old people get health problems.”
Members of the Westboro church, based in Topeka, frequently protest at funerals of soldiers with signs containing messages such as “Thank God for dead soldiers,” and “Thank God for 9/11,” claiming the deaths are God’s punishment for American immorality and tolerance of homosexuality and abortion.
Westboro Baptist, a small group made mostly of Phelps’ extended family, inspired a federal law and laws in numerous states limiting picketing at funerals. But in a major free-speech ruling in 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the church and its members couldn’t be sued for monetary damages for inflicting pain on grieving families under the First Amendment.
