David Wigfall Jr.

DAVID WIGFALL, JR. David Wigfall, Jr., was born to Beatrice Evelyn Washington on November 15, 1955 in Los Angeles, California. David received his formal education in the California Public Schools and Muskogee Public Schools. He enlisted in the United States Air Force after High School during which he earned successful completion certificates for Remote Operator Course, (1974), Inventory Management Specialist Course at Lawry AFB in Colorado (1974) and Supervisor’s Safety Training Course (1976) among others. Sgt. David Wigfall, Jr. left the Air Force in April of 1976 with an Honorable Discharge. He studied Real Estate at Connors State College during 1981-1983, and received 72 of 72 hours to complete Plumbing Boca Codes at the Indian Capital Vo-Tech in Muskogee. Although he loved being a handy-man and using his skills to help others, David’s true love was God. He was a regular attendant of Goodwill Church of God In Christ while growing up and he also attended various other fellowships in Muskogee. In 1983 David professed the beginning of his personal relationship with God and God gained first place in David’s life. In his own words, David said, “I started my walk with Him (God) in 1983 when He showed me He was real. I’ve been in the wilderness being developed and now by His grace I feel He is about to bring me into The Promised Land with all His promises.” And with this, David set out to learn all he could about our Lord and Savior. He completed The Ambassador College Bible Correspondence Course not once, but twice. He equipped himself with various Bible study aids and proceeded to specialize in the study of God’s Word! He loved attending Sunday School and did so on a regular basis, faithfully, where he expounded on the Word. He was currently attending Loving Mt. Calvary until his health began to fail. He was always willing and eager to help anyone who wanted to know God’s Word! David was afflicted with a terminal illness about two years ago which brought his faithful race to an end on December 21, 2010. David was preceded in death by his mother, Beatrice Evelyn Washington. He leaves behind to cherish his loving memories his wife, Bobbie, a son, Jarred of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; 3 grandchildren, Jayden, Jacobi and Janya, all of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; a brother, Ulysses Washington of Tulsa, Oklahoma; sister-in-law, Deloyce of Tulsa, Oklahoma; two nephews, Ulysses Jr. and Marvin, and one niece, Delera all of Tulsa, Oklahoma; two special friends, Lerlise Mills and Jimmy Gilyard; two spiritual brothers, Bernanzo Brown and Harry Truman Edmondson; and a host of other relatives and friends.
