Holcombe Family Funeral

One of my friends, John Holcombe, is a Sunday school teacher and

webmaster at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland, Texas, the church

where the tragic shootings occurred on November 5, 2017.

Nine

members of John’s family were killed. John was hit in the leg and has

been in the hospital. His parents, brother, three of his children, and

pregnant wife were all taken from him.

John’s father, an

associate pastor, was to preach that day. As he ascended the pulpit, the

shooting began and he was one of the first to be killed.

John is

an incredibly good guy. He married a widow with 5 children, took them

as his own. Now, as he and Crystal were preparing to have their first

together, this horrific murder took his wife and unborn child.
