Born on May 5, 1967, Wendell was the beloved son of the late Major Warren J. Goss, Sr. and Jane Wright Goss Hicks. A proud 1985 graduate of Green Run High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia, he went on to attend Norfolk State University, where he furthered his education and ventured out into the community. In his formative years, he was a member of Bank Street Memorial Baptist Church.

Wendell will be remembered for his youthfulness, sharp wit, and fun-loving nature to those he loved.

He is survived by his daughter, Natasha Talley, who was a light given to the family; his mother, Jane (Edward), his loving siblings; Warren J. Goss, Jr. (Sylvia) and Whitney J. Goss; his nieces Rachel Goss and Ravyn Goss; his great aunt Ola A. Goss; and a host of other family and friends whose lives were touched by his warmth and charm.

Wendell's presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will remain a lasting comfort to all who knew and loved him.

May he rest in peace.
