On Wednesday, September 26, 2018, Kendall Dale Fortner, loving husband and father of three children passed away at the age of 53.
Kendall was born on March 19, 1965, the beloved son of Jerry and Betty Wilson, and Larry and Zelda Fortner. He married the love of his life, Carol Lundberg, on July 1, 1989, and together they raised two daughters, Brittany and Terra, and one son, Christian.
Kendall was a visionary, brimming with ideas to positively impact those who were fortunate enough to know him. This passion started with his family, and he passed his willingness to jump into the unknown and work hard to make his dreams happen on to his children. He had the enviable ability to make friends with anyone, and devoted his time and steady wisdom to helping those friends be the best that they could be. Above all, he loved Jesus, and searched for ways to share that love with the neglected and downtrodden.
Kendall was preceded in death by his mother, Betty. He is survived by his wife Carol, his children Brittany, Christian, and Terra, his parents, Larry and Zelda, his father Jerry, his brother Ward, several aunts and uncles, several cousins, nephews, and a niece.
A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held on Sunday, October 7th at 2:00 at 425 Downtown (425 W Walnut St, Springfield, MO 65806). All whose lives were touched by Kendall’s are welcome to attend.
