John Sherrill Westmoreland, Jr. “Johnny”, 71, was born in Houston, Texas on September 4th, 1944 and joined his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on Monday, August 1st, 2016 after a brief but valiant battle with Cancer. John is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Janice Johnson Westmoreland of Cedar Hill, Texas.
John graduated from the oldest and largest university in the state of Texas, Texas A&M in 1967 with undergraduate and graduate degrees in Architecture. He was a Member of The Corps of Cadets and The Singing Cadets during his time in “Aggie Land”. He enjoyed a career as a Licensed Member of The American Institute of Architects with a passion for designing churches, homes and medical buildings.
He was preceded in death by his parents John Sherrill and Bernalice Peake Westmoreland. He is survived by his three older sisters, Theda Jaggers, Charlene Zwink and Sherry McCarty, all of Houston, Texas.

John was a 48 year member, choir member and elder at Dallas First Church of the Nazarene. Anyone who knew him would agree that he was a true servant leader that carried a quiet presence that demonstrated both strength and humility concurrently. A man guided by his faith, character, integrity and a never wavering belief in all people doing what is honorable and true.
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Psalm 28:7-8 NIV
