William Severn

Bill Severn spent his brief career at MGM as a child actor, known as Little Billy Severn. His brother Christopher was also a child actor. As an adult, he was a world-known evangelist, based in Ventura, California. His ministry took him and his family to far-flung places such as Indonesia during the 1965 revolution, Israel, the UK and also every corner of the USA by way of the Trinity Broadcasting Network. He was a devoted husband and father. He was in the midst of a busy schedule in 1983 when he died suddenly - he was exercising in his weight room when he was stricken by a massive heart attack. This was a dreadful shock because he seemed to be the in the peak of health. He was only 45 years old. He was laid to rest in Pierce Brothers-Valley Oaks Memorial Park, in Westlake Village, California, beside his mother.
