He leaves behind his beloved wife of almost 65 years, Peggy Harrison, who stood by him through every triumph and challenge. Their bond was a testament to love and partnership.

Wallace retired after nearly 50 years of dedicated service at BellSouth/Avaya, where he was known as a hard worker and a trusted colleague. His strong work ethic and loyalty were evident in everything he did.

A proud graduate of Bellevue High School, Wallace was a man whose spirit, kindness, and dedication touched every part of his life. He shared his love for community by coaching Little League basketball in Bellevue and later served as Chairman of the Board of Education in Cheatham County. A man of deep faith, Wallace devoted more than sixty years to the Pegram Church of Christ, where he served faithfully as both a deacon and treasurer. His warmth, integrity, and unwavering commitment to his beliefs left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Wallace's love for his family was unparalleled, and it was in their company that he found his greatest joy. From gardening together to enjoying the simple pleasure of watching movies, each moment spent with his family was treasured. Wallace had a passion for football and basketball, especially supporting the University of Tennessee. He also enjoyed playing his banjo and sharing his talent with those around him.

In this time of loss, we celebrate the beautiful legacy Wallace has left behind—a legacy rich in love, faith, and the cherished memories born from a life well-lived. Though he may no longer walk among us, Wallace's spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him, a gentle reminder of the unwavering bond of family and the joy found in life’s shared moments.
