in Lake City, has died.
Meade's son-in-law Charles Sparks confirmed to First Coast News Monday
afternoon that his father-in-law passed away. When asked about when
Meade died and how old he was, Sparks said he did not have the
details.
Meade and 100 of his followers left the Midwest and moved to Lake City
in 1984.
Meade's group, known as the Endtimers, has grown over the years. Its
sprawling sanctuary seats more than 2,000.
The Endtimers are known for being elusive. They live near one another
and most drive Cadillacs, the vehicle Meade drove.
Meade was known for his message to avoid medical attention because
there was no need for his followers to be sick. He also preached that
the Endtimers would be the only ones to survive God's wrath in the end
times, prophesied in the Bible.
Joni Cutler, who was once part of the Endtimers which she she calls a
cult, said she had not heard about Meade's death and wondered what
will happen to the ministry now that Meade is gone.
Cutler, now a South Dakota lawmaker, left the group years ago after
her daughter died of pneumonia when she was 4 days old. Cutler said
she was not allowed to take her daughter to the doctor.
According to public records, Meade was 93.

Wow. Old people in Florida drive Cadillacs. Who knew?
Next thing we'll hear is that Meade's followers always showed up for
the Early Bird because, hey.
