Mr. Benjamin M Wimpee

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, November 9, 2026, at Morgan Funeral Chapel. The family will receive friends from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service. Burial will follow at Ebenezer Cemetery in Snead, Alabama.

Mark was saved at the age of nine and was later baptized. He was a devoted member and trustee of The Healing Place, St. Clair, where his deep faith guided his service to his church and others.

A graduate of Etowah High School, Mark worked at Republic Steel. During that time, he briefly left to work at Donnie Allison’s machine shop in Hueytown, making parts for Bobby Allison’s race car. After his years at Republic Steel, he worked at ThyssenKrupp before going to Nucor Steel.

His family remembers him as faithful, honorable, inventive, trusting, and deeply spiritual. Quiet and easygoing, he possessed both spiritual and physical strength.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his niece, Amiee Wimpee.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Ruby Wimpee; son, Joseph Mark Wimpee (Beth); grandsons, Jacob, Joshua, and Matthew Wimpee; stepson, James Blackwood; step-grandchildren, Matt Perry, Hollie Perry, Ryan Perry, Justin Blackwood, Heather Dyle, and Tristan Faith Overstreet ; brother, Randy Wimpee (Katrina); sister, Sherry Greer; and nephews, Jon Wimpee and Stewart Greer, niece Amber Greer Seymore.

Pallbearers will be Jon Wimpee, Jacob Wimpee, Matt Perry, Ryan Perry, and Justin Blackwood. Honorary pallbearers will be Randy Wimpee and Rick McDowell.

The family extends a special thank-you to the staff of UAB St. Vincent’s Easts' 7th floor for their kindness, support, and compassionate care.
