June was born a healthy baby. When he was four or five years old he
contracted rheumatic fever. The doctors didnt think he was going to make
it; but June had another doctor. Though his life would be forever changed
he lived a life of triumph in God.

Remarks

June received Jesus Christ and was baptized at an early age. He worshipped
at Primitive Baptist and Southern Baptist Church for some time. He has been
a member of New Jerusalem Baptist Church and served in various capacities
including a deacon. He was a member of the New Jerusalem Male Chorus
and sang to the Glory of God. June loved his church and eagerly waited on
Sunday mornings for the church van to pick him up. He would wake up at
the crack of dawn to get ready.
