Thomas Monson May Be Succeeded By Russell Nelson As Mormon Church President

President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Thomas S. Monson, died at the age of 90 on Tuesday evening at his residence in Salt Lake City, Utah, a news release from MormonNewsroom.org confirmed.
"He loved the cultures of the world, and deeply respected them. And particularly the faith of the people," President Henry B. Eyring, who served as first counselor in the First Presidency said after the news of his death broke on Tuesday.

As church tradition goes, the next longest-tenured member of Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the church's governing body, becomes the next president. By that rule, Russell M. Nelson, 92, who is the current President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles is most likely next in line to succeed Monson.

However, according to LDS church, Monson’s successor will not be officially chosen by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until after his funeral.

Nelson became a member of the Twelve Apostles on April 7, 1984. He was appointed the president of the governing body by Monson on July 15, 2015.

Nelson was born to Marion C. and Edna Anderson Nelson in Sept. 9, 1924. Nelson received his Bachelor of Arts and Doctor of Medicine degrees from the University of Utah.

 He was an internationally renowned surgeon and medical researcher, who served his residency in surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and at the University of Minnesota, where he was awarded his PhD degree in 1954, according to his official profile.

Additionally, Nelson was also awarded honorary degrees of doctor of science from Brigham Young University in 1970, doctor of medical science from Utah State University in 1989, and doctor of humane letters from Snow College in 1994.
