Wendell was born June 1, 1962 to Earnest and the late Elizabeth Bennett of Horton, Alabama. Wendell was employed at Pilgrim Pride for the last 35 years. He ran the crane at the feed mill. He took pride in his job from a young man catching chickens to weighing chickens and unloading barges at the feed mill. A hard working man devoted father, pawpaw, and loving husband to his late wife Ida of 43 years. "To know him is to love him"

Before his Pilgrim Pride days he drove a truck. He raised his children and loved his wife. He was a family man. A hard-working and a simple man. If you knew him you know he loved his motorcycle, camping, riding his boat, Auburn football, Nascar, Atlanta Braves, and we can't forget his WWE. His love for his furbabies are unmatched. Stinky and PACO Baby was his pride and joy.
