Wendel Kirkbride Obituary

Wendel K Kirkbride 11/27/65 ~ 6/16/05 Wendel K Kirkbride, 39, passed away, peacefully, in his sleep on June 16th 2005. He was born on November 27, 1965 to Lenis Speas Kirkbride and Franklin Eugene Kirkbride. He was the second of three children. Wendel is survived by his mother, his sister Pamela Knighton (husband Clark), his brother, David Kirkbride, one niece, two nephews, and a large extended group of family and friends in Salt Lake City, all of whom loved him and will miss him greatly. He was preceded in death by his father, and can now join him again. Wendel had a love and special talent of working with computers. He worked for Computer Consultants Corporation for over 15 years as a programmer, support tech, and network tech. He later worked for Matrixx Computers where he built and repaired computers. At the time of his departure, he worked for Club Try-angles creating ads and maintaining their computer network. He also wrote articles for The Pillar Magazine, providing readers with computer hints and help. Wendel was a Star "Trekkie". He created Star Trek models, which were in high demand and were sold all over the country. Wendel served strongly in his community, where he always helped others with disabilities get the government funding they deserved, and always made sure others less fortunate, were taken care of. Funeral services will be held on Friday, June 24, 2005 at The Old Rock Church, 10 S. Main, Providence, Utah at 10:00 a.m. Farewell Wendel. May the void you leave here on earth be comforted with love and memories in our hearts forever.

I was very sorry to hear about Wendel's death. He was a very nice man. I'm still amazed how he gave and built a computer system for my roommate Sonny. He will be missed.
