Vernon Brice Wagner was born August 26, 1934 in Post, Texas, to Leonard Vernon Wagner and Movelda Aquilla Brooks Wagner. Mr. Wagner was surrounded by his family when he took his place in heaven on November 14, 2021, in Lakeway Hospital after fighting a lengthy battle of complications with health issues.
Brice was a successful family and businessman. On April 20, 1972, he married the love of his life, Marjorie Helen Hill of Richland Springs, Texas. They started their lives together in Brownfield, Texas, farming and ginning their own cotton, and later added a White's Home and Auto store, and Case Tractor and Equipment business. In 1979, Brice took an overseas job and relocated his family to Venezuela, where he retired after 11 years as a drilling superintendent. He and his family relocated to the San Saba area.
Brice would always put his faith in the Lord first in his life, and contributed this to his successful businesses, as well as other areas of his life. He knew no stranger and missed no opportunity to share God's Word with all who crossed his path. His favorite ending to any conversation was, "I'll see you here, there, or in the air." He was a man after God's own heart and that is why he was loved so dearly by so many.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a son, Ricky Wagner; daughter, Toni Pounds Wagner; great-granddaughter, Madison Colburn; great-grandson, Shawn Marfell; sister, Maureen Smith; and son-in-law, Jim Phillips.
Brice is survived by the love of his life, Marjorie Wagner; children: Butch Wagner and wife, Kaye; Cheryl Phillips; Gena Colburn; Vickie Figueroa and husband, Eugene; Victor Hill; K.C. Hill and wife, Terri; and Misti Wagner; as well as 20 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.
A Memorial service will be held on December 7, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at Heritage Funeral Home in San Saba.
