The unexpected death of this beloved pastor, the main driver behind Maadi Community Church, created a huge shock within the congregation. Within hours after his death, people met to pray for his family and the church. But rumors also started to spread. The problems surrounding the church building and fundraising prompted some to state it was suicide. Others vehemently rejected this and claimed that Egyptian security must have planned his death, believing authorities did not want to see the church grow. MCC called his death the result of "a tragic accident."

Pastor Petrescue was married for 30 years and leaves behind his wife, Brenda, and three adult children.
