IIICecil’s story

Cecil was a true minister of God’s word who put God first, faithfully, always. “Family was his heart,” his wife wrote.

He was gentle, honest and trustworthy, meek and strong, stern and steady. He was intelligent and compassionate, complex yet down to earth.

His favorite scripture was Joshua 24:15: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

He was a true leader, not overbearing but caring and thoughtful, with strength, patience and temperance. He was also a Raider fan until the move to Las Vegas.

“You were my soul, my heart my inspiration… You were my rock!”
What she wrote to him

She misses his advice, his touch, his humor and his humility, “his quiet leadership manner,” and his faith in God.

“A piece of me is gone, part of me, half of me.”
Cecil’s wife, in her video

She asked for a tender, peaceful hymn for Cecil. She says it “made me see this whole man all over again.”
