OPINION (CBN) – For Pastor Steve Lentz, the loss of one of the victims of Friday’s mass shooting in Virginia Beach is personal Bert Snelling was a deacon in his church and his friend. “You could always depend on him,” said Lentz, who noted ironically that Snelling was one of two people who oversaw security at the church. Lentz says that Snelling was very aware of his surroundings and would likely have noticed anything
suspicious on Friday afternoon if given the opportunity. “He would have been very alert,” he said. Lentz said that Snelling’s strong faith was evidenced in his quiet, humble personality. He remembers him actively participating in the church’s men’s group. “He would share his faith regularly and how it was impacting his business and the way it would inform how he did his work,” the pastor said.
