Tyler Perry has led tributes to Myles Munroe after the celebrated preacher was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas.
The writer/life coach and his wife died on Sunday (09Nov14) after the private jet they were travelling in crashed into a shipyard crane and exploded.
A number of stars who were touched by his words of wisdom have been left devastated by the loss and have taken to social media to express their grief.
Director/actor Tyler Perry led tributes by posting a moving message on his Facebook.com page on Monday (10Nov14), writing, "The poorest person in the world is the person without a dream - Dr. Myles Munroe... No words, just heartbreak. My prayers and thoughts for Dr. Myles Munroe and all aboard that tragic plane crash."
Pop stars One Republic also penned a tribute to Munroe on their official Twitter.com page, writing, "RIP Dr. Myles Munroe... U (sic) spoke when I was in college at (Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma) & had a truly profound affect on my life. More than any," before adding one of his quotes: "The greatness of a man is measured by the way he treats the little man. Compassion for the weak is a sign of greatness - Myles Munroe."
Gospel singer Yolanda Adams also quoted Munroe on Twitter, adding, "The greatest tragedy in life is not death but life without purpose. Dr. Myles Munroe."
Munroe was awarded an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (Obe) medal by Queen Elizabeth Ii in 1998.
