A Sad Day At Idlewild Baptist Church

Tony Dungy was a member of our church (Idlewild Baptist) in Tampa Florida until a few years ago. He moved his membership to an intercity church that was originally founded by our church.

A few years ago, when Tony's son, James, took his own life, Idlewild was asked to host the funeral.

The church had just opened and this was the first time it was used for an event like this.

Those who attended the funeral were moved deeply when Tony spoke at the end of the service. There was not a dry eye to be found.

There is not a person who I have ever met that has more character than Tony Dungy.

He truly is a man of faith.

Here is a video on Tony's comments.

  1. Amen! He is a great man of faith, no question about it...I recently devoted a blog entry to another very good example of Christian faith, Albert Pujols of the MLB St. Louis Cardinals...
