Marc Lynn Allen Wendling, 52, Ft. Pierce, Fla., passed away September 7, 2015. Marc was a light of hope that rushed back to Kansas to help his family members as they were ill. Marc joined his loved ones in heaven and is deeply mourned by his parents, Richard and Gail Wendling, brothers, Michael (Sheila) Wendling of Augusta, and Matthew Wendling of Wichita, the love of his life and companion of 27 years, Linda Spradlin of Ft. Pierce; nieces, Jasmine (David) Linder of Andover, Cassandra Sprenkel and nephew, Joshua Sprenkel of Hays; aunt, Joan Jackson, nephews, Anthony and Ricky Jackson, all of Rapid City, South Dakota. Marc was a strong advocate for cancer care and worked for the KU Medical Center - Cancer Center in Kansas City for over 20 years. Many patients received hats and scarves from him during their treatment and he always had a kind word for those in need. His family is requesting for donations to be sent to www.kucancercenter.org/give in his memory.

Obviously the guy upstairs needed someone special. I'll miss all of our beach days and lunches at Archies in Ft Pierce. It was awesome to have you as a friend Marc.

To the Wendling Family:
I was so very sad to hear about Marc's passing. He was such a great friend to me. His laughter and smile brought alot of joy to us here in the Cancer Center. He will be missed by so many people. May God comfort you during this time and the days to come.

I'm still so shocked that Marc is no longer here with us. He will be truly missed. We had so much fun working together and I was so happy to see him finally make to Florida where he wanted to retire. I can't bring myself to erase my last text message from him, it said "if you ever need anything"...that's the Marc we all know and love.

This is such sad news. Marc and I were good friends in high school. I am so sorry for you all.

You were a fierce friend and a giver! You knew no strangers, everyone was a friend! You were a family first, myself second. Your family was much bigger than anyone of us could have ever guessed. You will be sadly missed but you will never be forgotten
