The soft-spoken wisdom and gentle laughter of Stan Bynum will no longer be heard in the halls of lnfinity2. Following a courageous battle waged against an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer, Stan Bynum passed away on October 13th. His illness was diagnosed on September 14th and ran its course all too quickly. Though the battle was lost in the natural realm, Stan's last day was one filled with love, prayers and bittersweet joy from the people closest to his heart.

Early in the morning of October 13th a supernatural peace engulfed the Bynum home, tucked away in the hills outside of Dallas. Friends and family visited throughout the day amid story telling, singing of old Hymns and reading of the Holy Scriptures. Stan was very alert and reveled in the presence of the family members he cherished so dearly. As the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the grave was narrated, a tear fell from his gentle eyes. Although Stan was unable to verbalize his thoughts, his emotions were clearly conveyed to those around him. It was a very good day for Stan Bynum, and no one seriously considered it might be the last they would share with him on Earth.

As evening drew nigh, the family busied themselves with an almost-normal routine of family life, very comfortable that Stan was sleeping so peacefully. While four of his seven children sat just outside his room, his wife and a close friend from Infinity2 reminisced of happier times. Around 10:30 that evening, Stan's wife, Dianne, checked on him again. The stillness of death was now all too evident as the Angel of the Lord had escorted him home. The final Sabbath had indeed come for Dr. Stan Bynum. In another place and time this would have been a time for great sorrow; but as Stan's children and grandchildren gathered around him one by one, the promise of hope and the comfort of God's peace was miraculously bestowed upon each member. The Lord did what He promised He would do: "He wiped away every tear."

Before his death, Dr. Stan Bynum was able to convey his dream for the future of his life's work. On September 16th , Infinity2's President and CEO Ed Hoyt visited with Stan for three days. During that visit, Ed asked Stan directly:

"What is it you want Infinity2 to do if you are unable to come back?"

Stan responded, "During my absence, I ask that you carry on with my work and continue to share the truth."
