John Mark Stallings tribute

This is my first video to try and upload. Video is from WBRC Fox 6 from Birmingham, Alabama, on the death of John Mark Stallings (son of former UA Coach Gene Stallings). John Mark was born with Down Syndrome on June 11, 1962 and died on Aug. 03, 2008 at the age of 46 John Mark touched more Alabama fans than anyone who played the game. Video was made Alabama Fox 6 by Rick Karle at the Stalling family farm in Paris, Tx.

I met the Stallings at football banquet for Boles Home. I had to get up and make a speech, not something I do ever. After the banquet people were going around and talking. Me I was trying to hide. The Stallings came up on me and were telling me about Johnny. They they said how beautiful my eyes were. I have never forgotten them are what they said. I live in Paris but have never gotten a chance to see them again. Not that they would remember me. I have never forgotten them. RIP Johnny Fly high with the angels

I'm honored to know Coach Stallings and John Mark, (Johnny). Johnny had the most beautiful soul I've ever known, and to know him was to love him. I hurt so much for Coach and his loving family, and I pray that the Good Lord will continue to give them peace and consolation. As for precious Johnny, I know he's walking hand in hand with God until "Pop" is called home and take his hand in his again. Johnny made me a better person just to know him, and that is a definition of an Angel as I see it
