Man ministered to 'America's Team'

EULESS, Texas (BP)--Hundreds of people, including dozens of players and representatives from Dallas' professional sports teams, crowded into First Baptist Church in Euless Nov. 6 to honor the life and legacy of longtime Dallas Cowboys chaplain John Weber.

Weber, 59, a deacon at FBC Euless, served as the Cowboys team chaplain for more than two decades. He died Nov. 1 in Dallas following a heart attack, and he was remembered by his family, friends and those he served as a gentle man with an eternal mission.

"John was a chaplain, a deacon, a staff member for Athletes in Action, a father, husband and grandfather," said John Meadon, the Euless church's senior pastor. "We are all here because we've been touched by John. We will never be the same."
