He was born January 1, 1959 to the late Donald and Betty Wood of Rockfish. He is survived by his brother Don (Lynn) of Wagram, his brother Todd (Sherry) of Rockfish and his sister Becky of the home, who did a truly amazing job of caring for him as he battled with cancer. He is also survived by nine nieces and nephews and 10 great nieces and nephews whom he enjoyed spending time with.
He was well-known in Rockfish and was a faithful member of Tabernacle Baptist Church. After retirement from Kelly Springfield Tire Company (now known as Goodyear) in the early '90s, he enjoyed gathering with local residents at the Rockfish Café or at Wood's Small Engine Repair Shop. Always eager to help those in need, he did not meet a stranger and was known by all to have a sweet spirit about him. He enjoyed working in his garden. He cherished his pet dogs, Maggie and Blue.
