| Saddleback Church Says Rick Warrens Son Has Committed Suicide | | Keep Rick Warren and his family in your prayers.
LAKE FOREST (CBSLA.com) Pastor Rick and Kay Warrens youngest son, Matthew, has committed suicide, Saddleback Valley Community Church announced Saturday.
The evangelical megachurch announced the death of the 27-year-old in a statement.
Described as an incredibly kind, gentle and compassionate young man whose sweet spirit was encouragement and comfort to many, the statement said Matthew suffered from mental illness that resulted in deep depression and suicidal thoughts. He died Friday night.

| Re: | | Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers, Lysa, I have my email in my profile, but maybe others can't see it for some reason, if not maybe I can give my info to Greg and he can get it to you. Lysa, I used to have your number a long time ago, maybe I can look in my old phone book. _________________ Bill
