Cecil Ross Weibling

Cecil Ross Weibling, age 74, was called into God's presence on September 2, 2024.

Ross was born February 11, 1950 in Denver, Colorado.  His family later moved to Kansas.  He was preceded in death by his parents: Richard and Rose Weibling; his sister, Cecilia Weibling; his son, Edward Weibling; and his beloved wife and "little dove", Rhonda Weibling.

He is survived by his daughters: Sarina Drury and Savannah Kelb and her husband Tim; his son, Richard Weibling; his sister, Denise Beam and her husband Michael; four grandsons: Justin Weibling, Gregory Weibling, Cameron Weibling, and William Drury III and his wife Carlie; four great-grandchildren:  Grayson, Lilianna, Evelyn, and Lavender; many nieces and nephews; many brothers and sisters in Christ at Crest Bible Church; and his best friends in life: Joe Bolander, Greg Axe, and Calvin Hicks.

Ross was raised in Kansas City, Kansas and attended Wyandotte High School.  Ross accepted Christ as his savior at age 15 at a Youth For Christ rally in Kansas City, Kansas.  As a boy, Ross attended the Calvary Baptist Church(Pastor Fred Spendor), at 10th & Grandview Blvd, in Kansas City, Kansas.  It is at this church that Ross received a strong Christian foundation that would last the rest of his life.  It was at this church where Ross(age 12) first felt that God might be calling him into ministry, as he dreamed of being a pastor someday.

After leaving High School, Ross served in the U.S. Air Force for six years, most of which was served in Asia and the Middle East.  After leaving the military, Ross became an Engineer in the field of Electronics.  Ross also owned and operated an accounting and tax business in Overland Park, Kansas since 1984.

Ross and his wife Rhonda were married for 36 years and have four children between the two of them: Edward, Sarina, Savannah, and Richard; four grandsons: Justin, Gregory, Cameron, and William; and four great-grandchildren: Grayson, Lilianna, Evelyn, and Lavender.

Ross and Rhonda have been members of Crest Bible Church since October 1997.  Ross' boyhood dream of being a pastor had not died after all these years.  So, in 1999 Ross obeyed God's call into ministry, and he enrolled in the Shepherd's School of Ministry at Kansas City Baptist Temple.  Ross graduated from the Shepherd's School of Ministry in 2003 and became Associate Pastor at Crest Bible Church in 2003.  Ross served on staff as Associate Pastor and headed up the Discipleship and Adult Ministries.  He also provided pastoral care for the Spanish Ministry.  Ross' wife, Rhonda, served as the church secretary for seven years.

Ross' greatest love after God and his family, was his family at Crest Bible Church.
