Tennessee pastor Dwayne Maxey, whose congregation was strengthened as he battled a lung disease for which there was no cure, died Feb. 23. He was 45. Maxey was called as pastor of Eastside Baptist Church in Martin, Tenn., in 2000 when the congregation consisted of about 10 weekly attendees. Baptist Press ran a story profiling him in 2010.
