He is preceded in death by his brother Hugh Worden and sister Carolyn Bomba. He leaves behind two brothers, Alan Worden and his wife Mary and Richard Worden and his wife Judy.

He is survived by his daughters, Wanda Jean Roberts and Tricia Nell Heath and her husband Michael Heath Sr.; grandchildren, Chad Boudreaux and wife Kristi, Mark Roberts and wife Laura, Patrick Roberts and wife Rebecca, Michael Heath Jr., and David Heath; and four precious great grandchildren.
Vernis spent his younger years working the family farm, and then honorably served his country in the Army. After this he began a long civil service career in aircraft maintenance and engineering. His last assignment before retirement was Lead Investigator for the Army's Helicopter Disaster Unit.
Our "Papa" was the family patriarch. All of us have been blessed by his instruction and humbling spirit. He loved his family with a deep passion, and we were blessed by his faith in the Lord that gave him his righteousness. We praise our Lord for this quiet servant who made us so much better in our purpose for this life we live.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Monday, August 13, 2012 at the Memory Gardens Cemetery in Corpus Christi, Texas with Reverend Richard Worden officiating.
