Rebel Wallace Obituary (1946

Rebel Wallace, 70 of Henderson, Nevada, formerly of Lake Havasu City, Arizona was called home to be with the Lord on Saturday, July 1, 2017. We are grateful he flew into the arms of Jesus doing what he loved. He was born on October 12, 1946 in Missouri. Rebel started out in life as a small town country boy who later developed into a knowledgeable, cultured, God loving, courageous, honorable man. As a small boy watching the crop dusters, he fell in love with adventure and began to nurture his curiosity of all things aviation. A First Lieutenant and helicopter pilot in the United States Army. He served our Country with the Second of the First Cavalry in Vietnam. Rebel married the love of his life, Louise Wallace, at the young age of 21, right before heading off to Vietnam. On October 28th 2017, Rebel and Louise would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. As a man of many talents, capable of building and fixing most anything, he was also a man with many passions throughout his life. From fishing, hunting, motorcycle racing, bbq'ing, and making videos, to reading and studying the gospels. There is no doubt his longest and greatest passion was flying and teaching others to fly as well. Rebel is survived by his wife, Louise Wallace; daughter, Marlo Waters; brothers, Bobby and Kendall Wallace; sister, Faye DeSpain, and other extended family members and many friends. Rebel was a loving, devoted husband, father, brother, son, and friend. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A Celebration of Life for Rebel will be held in Lake Havasu City on Saturday, October 14, 2017 at 1:00pm in the sanctuary of Calvary Baptist Church, 1605 S. McCulloch Blvd. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made for Louise Wallace at: www.gofundme.com/veteran-pilot-dies-in-plane-crash.
