I am absolutely heartbroken to hear that Ozzy Osbourne has passed away.
When I met Ozzy in 2023, I expected it to be very rushed, and that’s what it was at first to the front of the line.
Ozzy stopped the line and told workers he didn’t want to rush fans. Even when they told him he’d be there super late, he didn’t care.
That being said, Ozzy left the event at 2am, when the event was supposed to be over at 9pm.
Ozzy sat in his chair, and shook hands with everyone, was very sweet, very cordial, and thankfully, very receptive to the Gospel
He had said in an interview with The Guardian in 2014, “I’m a Christian. I was christened as a Christian. I used to go to Sunday school. I never took much interest in it because … I didn’t. My idea of Heaven is feeling good. A place where people are alright to each other. This world scares the (explicit) out of me.“
He went on to say that he doesn’t understand the Bible because it’s written in a language he doesn’t and can’t understand.
When I met him, I introduced myself, and told him I had him a gift based on his spiritual beliefs, he said, “Let’s see it!”
I pulled out a new believers Bible that is easy to read. As he was looking at it, he said, “Is that my name on the cover?”
I told him the reason I came to meet him was because I love and care about him and his soul.
After thumbing through the Bible and looking at the Gospels for a moment, he said, “I can understand this!”
Two weeks later, I saw Jack at a convention in Kentucky. I was standing off to the side because the convention floor was so crowded, and ended up standing right in front of Jack’s booth. He got my attention and asked, “Were you in Philly last weekend?” He went on to say he recognized the back of my jacket (Love God, Love People).
He said, “I want to tell you something. Your gift meant more to dad than you know. He wouldn’t go to his hotel room without your gift. He specifically said, “Where’s my Bible? I’m not going up without it.” We had to go back down to find it at his table, and he said, “I want the rest of it too. There was a letter too.”
Ozzy had one day off during his weekend in Philadelphia, and he said he wanted to look at the material on his day off.
Jack said during their family lunch the next day, the Gospel material was the topic of conversation, and that it meant a lot that each gift and letter was specific and not generic.
He then went on to say Ozzy has had the Bible on his bedside table since being home, and has been showing everyone who comes to visit the “Bible that has my name on it!”
Please be praying for the Osbourne family.
My hope is that when we get to Heaven, we will hear, “All aboard!”
