Junior was a strong man of faith leading many to the Lord. He was a skilled mechanic by trade, often seen with his grandchildren by his side while working on cars. He loved his family and the Lord more than anything, even carrying around pictures of his grandkids in his wallet. He was the most selfless man, no matter the time of day, if you called, he was there instantly to help in any way he could, especially for his sons, Keith and Anthony, any time they moved, needed help with their cars, or anything else they needed. His love for his wife, Kay, was expressed in many ways with the most notable being that every morning, without fail, he would cook her breakfast so she started her day off on a positive note.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Gilbert Franklin Waite and Mary Magdeline Waite; siblings, Hazel Howel, Larry Waite and Amilean Bodenmann.
Left to cherish his memories are his loving and devoted wife, Kay Waite; sons, Darrell Keith Waite (Shawnda), and Anthony Watie Sr., (Donna); grandchildren, Samantha Waite, Anthony Waite Jr., Zackery Waite and Marissa Waite; great grandchildren, Sapphira Laylani and Easton Blaine. Also, survived by other relatives, family and friends.
