Afled 15 maj 1858 i smittkoppor. Var för sina åhörare en god lärare, som förstod och hade förmåga att ställa allt till det bästa, och för sin familj en kärleksfull fader. Under sin långvariga tjänstgöring i Hede fick hans hälsa genom upprepade förkylningar en svår knäck. Hans förklaring, att han höll sig till Jesu kors allena, bär vittne om hans sinnelag.

... He was for his audience a good teacher that understood and had the ability to put all to its best, and for his family a loving father. During his long term service in Hede his health, through repeated colds, became bad. His explanation, that he only held himself to the cross of Christ, shows what kind of temperament he had.
