Obituary: MyWestTexas.com
Carl Stephen Morris Tankersley, 65, went home to be with Jesus on June 3rd, 2006.
Steve was a man who truly loved his Lord and openly shared that love with others. Through his ten year battle with cancer, many remember him for his positive spirit, friendly smile and salutation, "Jesus loves you." He was a member of First Baptist Church for thirty years and loved his Sunday school calss, the Daniel Department. He taught Sunday school, sang in the choir, worked in apartment ministry for eight years and went on several mission trips. Even during his illness, he dilligently prayed for others who were sick, often calling to encourage them.
Pepaw loved spending time with his family and found particular delight in his "A Team", daughter, Ainslee, and granddaughters, Ashely, Aubrey, Adi and Anni. Family domino games, pizza night and visiting his family in Israel were treasured moments.
His life was simple, but complete. He loved the outdoors and always took time to enjoy God's creations. An afternoon fishing on the lake and watching the beautiful sunset were favorite pastimes. Steve also enjoyed arrowhead hunting, playing the guitar, visiting with friends, reading his Bible and a tall glass of iced tea.
Steve is survived by his loving wife of twenty-nine years, Janice Stanfield Tankersley, and daughter, Ainslee, both of Midland; daughter Tammy Worley and husband, John, and four granddaughters, Ashley, Aubrey, Adi and Anni, all of Tivon, Israel; a brother, Lamar Tankersley and wife, Margaret, of Fredericksburg; a sister, Virginia Kelly of Albuquerque, New Mexico; and a cherished extended family. He was also blessed wih many loving friends and caregivers.
