In Memoriam To Sky St. John

Sometimes in our sojourn on this earth, we are fortunate enough to meet someone who is so filled with love for his fellow man that it awes us. Sky St. John was one of these people. Sky never just took a job. Every venture in his life was a mission. As an entertainer for many years, he brought happiness to others through music. While a nurse in the last existing leper colony in the United States, he sought to bring help and solace. When he chose to become a Unity minister, he used both his musical talents and his passion for teaching to bring people closer to an awareness of their oneness with God and each other.

He is beloved by many, including those here at Unity Church of Practical Christianity. His passing may seem unfair, cutting short the friendship and the joy we could have shared with him. For those of us who have been touched by his wonderful light, just imagine your life if you did not have those special memories when your light intermingled with his.

In Unity, we know that regardless of outer circumstances, the decision to leave was Sky’s spiritual decision. Just as his life touched so many, his decision to leave may bring some of us to moments of reflection about our own relationship with others and the world in which we live. Even in death, he has given us a wonderful gift! We love you, Sky.
