Students and colleagues mourn the death of a music teacher who was found dead
For the last two years, Marcus Allen, 28, was a music teacher at Cornerstone Baptist Church and Christian Academy. But his colleagues and kids say he taught so much more than music.
Posted — Updated“He was not easy. He was tough on the kids. What he always said was no excuses, I want results,” said Ollis.
He taught all of Cornerstone's 145 students not to be afraid to lift their voices in harmony.
Allen wrote a song called "I'll Be Your Light,” that has become an anthem for the school.
But on Sunday, a day he would have gone to church, he laid in his yard lifeless.
He also declined to release the 911 call because of what he calls "sensitive topics."
“His love for our Lord Jesus Christ, and then his desire to lead others in the worship of the Lord. That is really what he was all about — leading others in the worship of Christ,” said Tadlock.
His kids are heartbroken. But they have his song "I'll Be Your Light" in their hearts.
