46 year old son of Coach Gene Stallings, former Bama head coach, former St. Louis Cardinals head coach, had Down Syndrome and congenital heart defect. He died today. The Rise Center at the University of Alabama which serves mentally retarded people was inspired by him, and the UA athletic facilities are named after him.
If you know anything about Gene Stallings, you know about John Mark. A father's love for sure. One reason he gave when he resigned from Alabama was that it was taking a toll on John Mark because he took the games so seriously himself. Coach Stallings attention to John Mark was the kind we all love to give to our kids.
Gene Stallings is a good Christian man, a devout Church of Christ member. Pray for the Stallings family.

John Mark Stallings died today
Human government bears the same relation to hell as the church bears to heaven. (David Lipscomb, On Civil Government, 72).
Praying for the Stalling family.
If I were to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for business. I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out right, what is said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right will make no difference." -Abraham Lincoln
