E.C. “Tenner” Wagner

E.C. “Tenner” Wagner, 84, of Tomato, passed from this life, Friday, April 19, 2019, in Haltom City, Texas. Tenner was born Oct. 25, 1934, to Rev. R.E. and Margaret Wagner. He was a retired carpenter who always enjoyed working with his hands and helping those around him in need. Tenner served his country with honor in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He was a man who cared deeply for his family with unconditional love and devotion.
