It saddens me to learn of the passing of CSM Henry Wallace Wiggs, USASMA Class 7. It is true that we have sustained a great loss by his passing. However, we believe that greatest tribute to his memory will be keeping the faith and staying true to God’s word. Scripture tells us…It is the same way for the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies, which die and decay, will be different when we are resurrected, for they will never die. Our bodies now disappoint us, but when they are raised, they will be full of glory. They are weak now, but when they are raised, they will be full of power. They are natural human bodies now, but when they are raised, they will be spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, so also there are spiritual bodies. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These perishable bodies of ours are not able to live forever. I Corinthians 15:42-45, 50 NLV.

Callie, we extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your beloved Henry. May the knowledge of knowing that he is with our Heavenly Father give you comfort and peace at this difficult time. We are reminded that the Apostle Paul said, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” And so, Henry is in Heaven rejoicing and awaiting your arrival.

Sending prayers of love and comfort to The Wiggs family. May God comfort you in your time of need during the loss of your father.🙏🏼💛
To Callie and family
May God keep you under His Loving Arms during season in your lives. Henry was diligent in staying in touch with his classmates. He would plan class reunions every year as long as he could get enough to attend. Henry also would contact us as soon as he get the news of some one passing he would let know ,but with regret this time someone had to let know of his passing.
I’m praying that God Amazing Grace will surround you today and always.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wiggs family during this time of great sorrow. Callie, we (the late Carrie Stephens Smith children), are here for you anytime you need us. Cousin Henry was a man of faith, and a serious family man. His work on earth is done, and he is now resting in heavenly peace.
John 14:1-3
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
The Wiggs and Harris families are in our prayers.
As you travel this road with a broken heart, please remember that the Lord is with you. His compassion and love are unwavering. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.”

Prayers for comfort during this season for the Wiggs Family. Mr. Wiggs came to GCBC and “jumped” right into serving into the ministry. He was a strong voice not only as a fellow Jubilee Choir member, but also as a member of the Veterans Ministry.
I shall forever remember seeing him walking down Two Notch Road as I scurried to work; his cadence with the huge stick he carried, made me pause and remember to slow down.
His presence at “The Creek” will sorely be missed.
I served as 1SG under CSM Wiggs I recall the enormous amount of knowledge that he possessed. He was always willing to import that knowledge to the NCO who had the privilege of serving with him.My prayers and condolences to the family. He was a great man and he will be missed.
Love and Prayers to the Wiggs Family, Cousin Henry was kind
and thoughtful. A wise man of God! Praise God for a prepared
home when we leave this earth. May faith and prayers give you
comfort and strength during this difficult time.
Mr. Wiggs was truly a servant of the Kingdom of God and he displayed that service at the ministry of Gill Creek BC in so many ways. His presence will be missed, yet we give God glory for his spirit of excellence.
The prayers of the ministry of Gill Creek go out to his wonderful wife Mrs. C. Wiggs and to his children (spouses), and grandchildren as well as his many friends.
I was honored to have been called his Pastor
Condolences to the Wiggs Family- enjoyed working and learning from a man with Wisdom and knowledge
Sincerest condolences to the Wiggs family. Mr. Wiggs was such a sweet man and we thoroughly enjoyed him singing in the jubilee choir on Sunday mornings. His gentle presence will be missed prayers for his family.
To the Wiggs family,
I served under CSM Wiggs at Moncrief Army Hospital, Fort Jackson, South Carolina. He was a no-nonsense person. He took care of his soldiers and had the respect of everyone. I will always remember when we had NCODP, he would walk in the auditorium with a great presence. As he walked in, all of the soldiers would stand up; and in a booming voice he would say “Keep your seats, keep your seats.”
I will always remember CSM Wiggs with great admiration.
Sending prayers and strength to the Wiggs family! He will truly be missed!
I extend my deepest condolences to the Wiggs Family. Mr. Wiggs was an integral part of the Gill Creek family and will be missed. Prayers for the peace and comfort for the family in the days and weeks ahead.
