Bollea attended Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Florida, pastored by Aaron Filippone, before he passed away from a heart attack on July 24, 2025.

He must never make a mistake.

He must possess the ability to bring everything to a purposeful conclusion and an ultimate goal.

He must be invincible, immutable, infinite, and self-sufficient.
