Wayland Wood

Wayland was born on August 25th, 1938 in Sylvester, TX. He was an only child who moved with his parents to Midland, TX in his early years where the buy, sell and trading began.

If you ever met him, you never forgot him. More than likely, he bought or sold you something. Some of you may remember him as “WW, Silver Fox, Or The Rolex Man” cruising in his slick black lavish cars.

He and his wife Eloise were married for 52 years and lived a wonderful, exciting boisterous life.

In 1989, he turned his life over to the Lord. He was a strong man of faith and loved spreading the word of Jesus Christ. He was always positive, supportive, and caring of others. His favorite saying was thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus.

He never sat still. He loved running around everyday talking to people, in person or on speaker phone seeing if he could do anything for them. He was an excellent care taker of his momma and his wife.

He was proceeded in death by his parents Raymond & Billie Wood and his dog Beau. He is survived by his wife Eloise; Aunt Dorothy White; Children, Stacy Yadon, Leland Wood(Angel), Teresa Garrett(Mark), Danny Roberts(Carol), Ellen Roberts, Suette Green(Pat); Grandchildren, Kristen & Chase (Jessica)Yadon, Raney, Kason & Cody Wood, Tyler & Colten Garrett, Natalie Rayburn(Brandon), Dustin Nabors(Heather), Tyson Cool, Lisa Cook(David), Robin Williams(Rock); Great Grandchildren, Mia, Abbye, Rylie, Emersyn, Connor, Ryker, Maddie, McKenna, Eli, Lily, Bradon, Riley & Scout.
