Few expected the blast of energy, enthusiasm and ingenuity that swept through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when then-93-year-old Russell M. Nelson ascended to the faith’s presidency in January 2018.
After all, the former heart surgeon — who died Saturday shortly after 10 p.m. at his home in Salt Lake City at age 101 — was the second oldest man ever to take the reins of the Utah-based faith and less familiar among members than his folksy predecessor, Thomas S. Monson.
But Nelson eventually became the faith’s first centenarian president and its oldest-ever prophet. (He celebrated his 101st birthday on Sept. 9.) His name quickly became synonymous with change.
