They added: “The transition was painless and peaceful. He was surrounded by brothers Larry Love, L.B. Dope, The Spirit, Jonny Jamm and Sister Therese Mullan.
We are heartbroken.
All that remains for us, at this moment, is to carry out his precise instructions regarding the continuation of his teachings as a First Minister of The Presleyterian Church of Elvis The Divine, and continue The Great Work. (sic)”
Alabama 3 also noted Jake’s last words, although they have “yet to decipher” what they mean.
Closing their statement, the group wrote: “His last words, which we have yet to decipher, were ‘Tweet Tweet, Possil Fleet’.”
