COLUMBIA, South Carolina (NBC) -- Believing his faith would heal him, a Greenwood County, South Carolina man sat down in his recliner after an injury in March and never got up.
On Thursday, his wife explained why he stayed in the recliner until shortly before he died.
"The man totally believed in God and his healing," said Ada Webb.
In March, Webb's 550-pound husband, Tillmon, sat down in a recliner inside their trailer in Greenwood. Wearing nothing but a blanket, the 33-year-old didn't move from that recliner for the next eight months.
"He couldn't do nothing for his self and I couldn't do but so much," Webb explained.
Webb says Tillmon tore his ACL in March and drove to a doctor's office.
"They were gonna give him an appointment, but they wanted $300 up front, and we didn't have the money," said Webb.
Webb says he returned to the recliner, picked up his Bible and became determined that faith would heal his leg.
"He read his Bible daily, he spent his full focus on God," said Webb. "And he was literally waiting and praying for a Job miracle. If anybody knows the Bible and knows Job, he really and fully believed that God was going to heal him just like he did Job, because he said he couldn't think of a better testimony to go out and to tell people.
