Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, 

and I will give you rest.    Matthew 11:28

Jarvis Vernon Wingo, Sr. entered into eternal rest on December 25, 2022.  He was born on August 2, 1956, to the late Pompey and Marie Wingo.  Jarvis was educated in the Amelia County Public Schools and was a member of the graduating Class of 1974.

Jarvis accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Union Branch Baptist Church where he remained a member until God called him home.

Jarvis was joined in holy matrimony to Betty Jean Kirby.  From that union two children were born.  Jarvis was an avid hunter and enjoyed fishing.  He was preceded in death by his sister, Joyce Wingo.
