In addition to his parents, Wallace was also preceded in death by four sisters, Lecta Ellison, Novella Webb, Margie Bradley, and Zane Fleenor; and a brother, Garland Jarrett.
Wallace was a farmer and was a member of Chinquapin Grove Baptist Church. His grandchildren were the lights of his life and he loved it when his oldest grandchild took him for rides in his truck. He treasured every moment with Jace and Eli. Wallace enjoyed riding his horses and putting up hay every summer.
