At a young age, John watched his dad carefully as he practiced medicine in a small town in Texas. John frequently heard stories of how his dad had taken special care with a patient causing the patient to reach out to him personally after the treatment to thank him for his care. John went to school to study sports medicine and joined a practice in California. He was married and raised two children. He modeled his parenting and his work after his father. On Sunday he was attending a reception at church for one of the pastors that had just returned from a mission trip. In the midst of the celebration, a lone gunman entered the reception hall with the intent of killing as many people as he could. John rushed the gunman and tackled him, allowing other parishioners to restrain the shooter until authorities arrived. John was shot multiple times and died shortly thereafter. Praise God for a man that was willing to sacrifice himself for the good of others. Click here to see a short professional video introducing John Cheng.
