A televangelist and faith healer, Jenkins, 83, died from complications of pneumonia Wednesday morning in Florida, said his son, Danny Jenkins.
He always had a big presence, and loved being around people, Danny Jenkins said.
"He looked like Elvis, dressed like Liberace, ran for governor and said he had God-given powers," said Lee Yoakum, spokesman for the city of Delaware, in an email. "Someone like that is going to leave a pretty colorful history — in any town — not just Delaware."
