Waymon was one of the kindest and moral individuals that I have known. I've know this family for over 30 years and he just was a model of what a human being should be. Thanks to you Waymon for being a great teacher. My prayers and thoughts are with the family left behind.

I work for the Sheriff's Dept. and I worked with Dendy at Second Baptist Church. Dendy was the nicest guy and I thought he was alot of fun. He spoke highly of his wife and I knew he had to be a great husband. I enjoyed working with him. He always made me laugh. Sorry I couldn't attend the funeral. Still working in Court 8 right now (4:30 pm) and can't leave. Sorry for your loss.....

Mr. Dendy was among the finest people I have ever worked with at the Sheriffs Office.
I often held his strong work ethic and pleasant demeanor up to younger employees as the model of how to conduct themselves.
I know the Lord has a special place for this fine man.
May the Lord comfort you in your grief.
