WESTON SCOTT McNEILUS

Weston Scott McNeilus, 20, of Dodge Center, passed away peacefully in his sleep at St. Mary's Hospital, on February 22, 2010, after a seven month battle with sarcomatiod carcinoma. He was born to Brandon and Tracy McNeilus on July 24, 1989, in Rochester. He graduated from Triton High School in 2008, where he was active in the high school band. He was enrolled at the Minnesota State Academy for the Blind.
Weston was involved in the Seventh Day Baptist Church youth group, authored many faith-inspired writings, and was an active witness for God. He loved to collect rocks, write songs, and participate in faith based discussion groups.
