Those who die in the Lord are with Jesus and are in no more pain. As it states in…..”To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” Although this is true, it is still painful to know, we won’t see our loved ones on this side of heaven. This is where our beloved Claggett William Ward Jr. is at this moment. He is rekindling relationships of other family members and friends who have gone on before him. Claggett William Ward Jr., the son of Reverend Claggett W. Ward Sr & Eva Mae Ward, is a Vietnam Veteran, husband, dad and Pastor, who faithfully cared for all who were in his sphere of influence.
He wore many hats as a husband, dad, brother, uncle, friend and Pastor.
He leaves behind his darling wife, Sheila Ward, his brother, Walter Ward, and his five daughters and their families: Rachel and Michael Wilson and their daughters; Jordan and Jayda Wilson, Deborah Ward, Christina and Michael Bologna and their daughters; MacKenzie, Sabrina, Giada and Tia, Michele Stitt and her daughters; Lauren, Kya, Mia Stitt, Kimberly Ward and her daughters; Aladreana Cheeks, Analiesae, Maason, Malachi Ward. He will also be missed by the family and friends from the following churches where he had intense influence from Emmanuel Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., Community Bible Baptist Church, in Grand Rapids, MI, Redeemed Christian Worship Center, in Waldorf, MD, and Grace Bible Baptist Fellowship, In Lansing, MI.
We will miss you, and we know you have heard, “Well done thy good and faithful servant” on Tuesday, July 27, 2021 which will comfort our hearts as we reflect on all of our memories of you! We look forward to seeing you in heaven!!
