| WORMINGTON, Brent Ryley | Oct. 19, 1991 | Aug. 7, 2020 TX |
Research Note: Son of Junior and Gayle Wormington. Brent Ryley Wormington left this world for a better place on Friday, August 7th. His heart stopped in mid conversation as he was driving on a Texas Highway speaking of the goodness of God. I can't imagine a better way to go, but we sure will miss him. We love you Brent. "God is So Good", Those were Brent's last words before leaving this world to Praise Him forevermore. Brent lived life vibrantly and in many ways the struggles that most of us walk with on the inside were expressed in his life. Words cannot express how much Brent is and will be missed by both friends and family. Life is so short; so fragile. We all have our struggles in this life and Brent was no exception. I'm happy to say that I personally witnessed him singing praises to God daily these last 6 months I was able to spend with him. He was a fellow Christian, a friend, a brother. You will be missed little brother; we love you. We trust God's perfect timing and cling to His abundant grace and love. He was preceded in death by his grandpa, Lavon Wormington. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 12, 2020 at the Macedonia Free Will Baptist Church.
