A Sea Of Red

Just found out that Dr. Rist passed away on Sunday. He was teaching on Friday and felt bad, and was rushed to the hospital where they apparently started chemo immediately.

Dr. Rist was a mentor and friend to my wife. She's known him and his family since she was 8. His wife and daughter were a part of our wedding. This loss is hitting her especially hard tonight.

Pray for his family, and for the many lives he touched in his time at Liberty.

Praying for the family.

Dr. Rist was a great man. I interacted with him a lot in my 7 years at Liberty. It's a big loss for Liberty and I am sad for his family.

I agree with bob. Dr Rist was a great man and wonderful provost. My condolences to the family

Dr. Rist and I shared an office suite for 9 years: I've never known a finer Christian man. He was polite, professional, and my chief academic mentor at LU.
