Quote :
In friendship and gratitude for everything that he has given to us personally and to humanity through his love and his music, we bid farewell to [name redacted], who lived to bring celestial music to humans, and human music to the celestial beings, so that man may listen to God and God may hear His children. On December 5, he ascended with joy through heaven's door in order to continue to compose in paradise with cosmic pulses in eternal harmony.

My first thought was Sun Ra, but I don't think that's the right answer.

I thought Mike Oldfield, but that's not it. However, while looking at info about Oldfield I was led to another possibility: Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Bingo.  How'd you find it?  I didn't think the obit was posted online -- and I didn't think the description fit his public persona.

The quote made me think of Music of the Spheres and Tubular Bells, which of course meant Mike Oldfield. That didn't pan out, so I searched for a part of the quote that sounded familiar, "so that man may listen to God and God may hear His children." That led eventually to Stockhausen.
