A man of deep conviction and compassion, Wendell began preaching the gospel in 1974. His ministry extended beyond the pulpit as he found joy visiting nursing homes to pray for those in need. His unwavering dedication to spreading hope and comfort left an indelible mark on many lives. Mac never met a stranger.
Wendell also found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. He loved family gatherings that brought everyone together and enjoyed gardening, fishing and hunting. These activities reflected his appreciation for nature and the bonds of family. He was a United States Army veteran.
