Monetary gift to former pastor who moved away 30 years ago

If we give a financial gift (over $600) to a former pastor of our church who moved away 30 years ago, are we required to give a 1099 to him and file with the IRS? Will that incur taxes to the former pastor?

If you paid over $600 then a 1099 would be in order.
