HCJB Global is celebrating the life of Kesha Tann, a staff member who worked for the organization for three years, most recently as senior accountant. Her tragic death the morning of Wednesday, June 27, has made a powerful impact on the HCJB Global staff around the world. Police indicated that she was murdered in the parking lot of the mission’s Ministry Service Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., as she arrived for work at about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.
“We are shocked at this horrible act, and our staff around the world is mourning the loss of our dear friend, Kesha,” said Dick Jacquin, vice president of support ministries. “She was one of those people who put a smile on your face when you saw her, and she had a laugh that was infectious. Her death is a great loss to us as a family and a loss to us as an organization. She was a wonderful staff member and friend to many in her quiet loving way. We will miss her greatly.”
Kesha, 42, who lived in Colorado Springs since 1995, was admired for her sincere Christian faith. She was active in her home church, True Spirit Baptist Church, and in the community. Kesha lived with her mother, Agnes Smith, and two daughters, LaKesha, 19, and Aliya, 13.Rev. Orian A. Flournoy said, “She was a faithful member of our church, involved with the women’s ministry, the youth, Bible studies and Sunday school. She was totally supportive of the church as a whole.” Before her untimely death, Kesha was working on a citywide effort to bring local African American churches together to talk about what they could do for global missions.
