JOHN UNDERWOOD

deacon

John T. Underwood has faithfully served as a deacon for Brown Street for many years. He and his wife, Carol, tied the knot in 1967 after being set up on a blind date. They are proud parents to two sons, Chris and Keith, and delighted grandparents of six. Born in Mississippi but raised in Dallas, John completed his education in North Texas, graduating from SMU Law School in 1974. Now enjoying retirement from his career as an attorney, he spends time caring for his cattle. He fondly recalls his baptism at DeSoto Church of Christ on April 10, 1979, and cites John 3:16 as his favorite Bible verse.
