Gordon Bitner Hinckley (June 23, 1910 – January 27, 2008) was the fifteenth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from March 12, 1995 until his death. He was the oldest person to preside over the LDS Church in its history. As president of the LDS Church, he was considered by its members to be a prophet, seer, and revelator. His presidency was noted for the building of new temples and the creation of the Perpetual Education Fund. Hinckley holds the record for dedicating the most LDS Church temples and dedicated more than half of the current church temples.

As president of the church, Hinckley was also chairman of the Church Board of Education and Board of Trustees that governs the Church Educational System.
On July 23, 1981, Hinckley became a counselor in the First Presidency. As the 1980s progressed, the health of both President Spencer W. Kimball and his aging counselors N. Eldon Tanner and Marion G. Romney led to Hinckley’s being the only healthy member of the First Presidency. When Tanner died in 1982, Romney succeeded him as first counselor and Hinckley succeeded Romney as second counselor in the First Presidency. Because of the ill health of Kimball and Romney, Hinckley was involved in much of the day-to-day affairs of running the church.
At the time Hinckley became president of the church he had dedicated 23 of the church’s 47 temples and had rededicated four of the remaining 24.

While president of the church, Hinckley presided at the dedication of 65 additional temples. Hinckley also rededicated five temples while president of the church, four of which he had dedicated initially. In all, Hinckley dedicated or rededicated 92 different temples — 87 while president of the church — at 97 different dedicatory services.
DEATH
On January 27, 2008, at approximately 7 p.m. MST, Hinckley died due to “causes incident to age”, at the age of ninety-seven. He was surrounded by family in his Salt Lake City apartment at the time of his death. According to a church news release, a presidential successor will not be named until after the funeral.
