Joseph Wayne Wommack

Joseph (Joe) Wayne Wommack, 60, passed away peacefully in the early morning of January 19, 2024 at St. Joseph West Hospital with his loving wife and two children by his side. Funeral services will be held Saturday, January 27, 2024 at 1:00 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Millwood, Missouri with Bro. Joe Miller, Bro. Judah Marx, and Fr. Charles Tichacek officiating. Visitation will be from 9:00 to 1:00 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall. He was born May 7, 1963 in Silex, Missouri to Henry “Hank” and Mary (Grothaus) Wommack. Joe graduated 8th grade at St. Alphonsus, Millwood and graduated from Silex High School, where he became affectionately known as “Wacker” by his friends. Joe married his high school sweetheart, Sherie (Angel) at St. Alphonsus, Millwood, on August 4, 1984. To this union were born Kala Marie, and 14 ½ years later, Nathan Joseph. Joe has lived and worked on the family farm all his life, with crop farming being his passion, but found the need to work off the farm and began working for his brother, David’s, electric business. In 1996, he began working for Stanek Construction, which led to Earll Construction where he began his travels as a union carpenter for 10 years, mainly remodeling restaurants. When the economy declined in 2008, Joe found a job with Geeding Construction working as a union laborer for another 10 years. Joe loved spending time with his family and friends, barbequing, frying fish or wild game and potatoes, playing cards and games, four-wheeling, boating, pulling the kids on tubes or skis and watching tractor pulls, especially watching Nathan pull the JD 4010 or IH 1066. But, Joe especially enjoyed hunting just about anything, including mushrooms and arrowheads, and fishing every way possible. Joe put a lot of pride in his sunflower patch every year, so that his kids, buddies, and he could enjoy a good dove hunt. The past few years, Joe enjoyed his early morning drives making the square with one of his dogs by his side, watching the sunrise, and looking to see deer and turkey, sometimes stopping along the way to shoot the breeze with any neighbor he might see. Joe was a very giving man and was always willing to help in any way. Joe will be sadly missed by those who survive without him, Sherie, his beloved wife of 39 years, his pride and joys, daughter, Kala and husband, Kevin Buck; son, Nathan and fiancé Clare Eggering; his mother, Mary; brother, David (Maureen) Wommack; and sisters, Karen (Mike) Bolte and Nancy (Monte) Niemeyer. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Betty Angel; and sister-in-law, Kim (Mike) Hudson; and many nieces, nephews, and several cousins he thought of as brothers. He was preceded in death by his father, Hank; his grandparents; and his father-in-law, Walt Angel. Memorials may be made to the Donor’s Choice.
