Walter K Cordes

A memorial service for Walter K. Cordes of Thomasville, were held on December 28, 2016. Mr. Cordes went home to be with Jesus on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2016, in Thomasville, GA. He is survived by his loving wife for 68 years, Ina B. Cordes (formerly Bates); loving father of Robert “Bob” (Deborah) Cordes and Donna (Don) McMillan; dearest grandfather of Jennifer, Steven (Kendra), James (Rebecca) John (Lindsey) Cordes and Kevin (Lesli) McMillan and Christy (Allan) Pierce; our dear great-grandfather, uncle, great-uncle, cousin, friend and pastor to many. Mr. Cordes spent his earlier years working in furniture sales. More importantly, however, in his later years he surrendered his life to service to Jesus Christ, his Lord. He served many years as an associate pastor at Trinity Assembly of God Church in St. Louis, MO. He is remembered for his sincere prayers and his love for the Word of God. As a faithful Bible teacher, he taught detailed, in-depth lessons to his Bible study group in St. Louis. In early November 2016, Mr. and Mrs. Cordes relocated to Thomasville, GA, to reside with their daughter and son-in-law. Due to his deteriorating health, he did not have the opportunity to meet the loving people of Thomasville. Therefore, a private memorial service will be held at First Baptist Church led by the Rev. Allan Pierce. Memorial gifts may be sent to First Baptist Church, Senior Adult Renovation Fund, PO Box 2790, Thomasville, GA 31799.
