John Mark, or "Johnny" was the son of former A&M, Alabama and Arizona Cardinals head coach Gene Stallings. He passed away this morning at the age of 46.
Some of you may recall a memorable NFL United Way commercial from the late 80's in which Coach Stallings is helping a boy with Down's Syndrome to ride a horse. At the end of the spot, he announces that he has known the boy all his life, because "he is my son".
Johnny never missed a game or practice at Alabama during Gene's tenure in Tuscaloosa and one of the workout facilities the Tide uses is named in his honor.
