I came in late so I got the text messages, but we\u2019re a small location so everyone knows one another. It\u2019s really how it is, so from security to our admissions to the professors everyone was pretty heavily impacted.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannon started at MDC in 2010. At the student success lab, Cannon looked over essays and taught students how to make PowerPoints and use Google Docs. He was known for giving out Scantrons to students who needed them for class. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was also an embedded tutor in professor Robin Vickers\u2019 English class. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI appreciate his assisting in my classroom. His devotion and dedication to students is to be remembered,\u201d Vickers said. \u00a0\u201cThere in the classroom often after each session, we would often talk about his love for the Lord and his commitment to students&#8217; excellence.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During his eight-year tenure at MDC, Cannon was known as a \u201cfather figure.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe was very supportive, encouraging, whether it was male or female. But, he himself had boys,\u201d Dunn said. \u201cHe really liked being an inspiration to the male population within the building.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an elder at the Miami Revival Tabernacle Church, Cannon brought his passion for religion to the Meek Center, which lead to him to start the prayer group. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Williamson joined the group in 2011 after Cannon \u201cnoticed the sadness in my face.\u201d Williamson\u2019s cousin had been severely injured in a car accident the night before. Doctors said he would not make it. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannon asked Williamson if she wanted to pray about it. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMr. Cannon asked me his name and then he started to pray for him,\u201d Williamson said through email. \u201cNot only did he pray for him, he added his name to the pray list at his church. God has the last say with everything and my cousin is a walking miracle. And that became the beginning of our friendship and our prayer circle.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two were avid football fans. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI would talk about my [Pittsburgh] Steelers and he loved his [Miami] Dolphins and Florida State University,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cDuring football season, on Monday mornings, we would discuss how badly the Dolphins played, if they lost. And by chance they won, he would say, \u2018Briggette, you saw my team won.\u2019 He would be proud to know that they [started] 3-0 this season.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannon was also heavily devoted to his family and education. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe loved being a family man,\u201d said Erica Cannon, his daughter-in-law. \u201cHe loved God. He loved to teach at Miami Dade. He was a very wise man, very honorable. [He] liked to give back to the community.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was born in Riceboro, Georgia on Jan. 17, 1948 to Albert Tee and Evelina Cannon.
