Winston Morgan Pennell, born on August 30, 2006, brought life and joy from the day he was born. He never met a stranger and everywhere that he went he brought happiness and left with new friends. He was active with his church and was baptized on September 30, 2018. He was very loving to his family, friends, and animals.
He graduated from Aaron Academy on May 30, 2024 with a 3.9 GPA and had been working at Walmart for the past two years. Then, after he turned 18 was accepting a new job as a stage hand and attending Tennessee College of Applied Technology for Heating, Air, and Refrigeration. Winston still found time to help his parents on the farm and help his grandmother. He was always very giving and concerned about everyone around him.
We may never understand why God brought him home so soon, but he has taken our hearts with him. He was a good Christian and we are certain that he is in the arms of Jesus. We can’t wait to be rejoined soon. The family requests donations to the Birdwell’s Chapel Church of Christ Youth Group in lieu of flowers.
He is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Leon Russell Smith and his paternal grandfather, William D. Pennell.
He is survived by his loving parents, Kevin & Lana Pennell, Goodlettsville, TN; maternal grandmother, Brenda Birdwell Smith, Cottontown, TN; paternal grandmother, Rita Ann Pennell, Jacksonville, IL; uncles, William Dale (Kathy) Pennell, Jr., Jacksonville, IL and Bruce Wayne (Rebecca) Pennell, Rochester, MN; several cousins.
