Antwoin Wiggley

Antwoin Martez Wiggley, 43, of Waterloo, died on February 3, 2024, at Unity Point Allen Memorial Hospital.  He was born on April 5, 1980, in St. Louis, the son of Michael Gamblin and Vernell Wiggley.   Antwoin graduated from Expo High School in Waterloo.  On April 12, 2003, he was united in marriage to Summer Lee Keene.  He worked as the general manager of Money N More Pawn.  Antwoin was the epitome of a hard working man.   He loved his kids, his wife, his family, and his job.  In his spare time, he liked to crack jokes and argue with anyone; always playing the devil’s advocate.  He enjoyed playing his video games, trying new recipes in his smoker, watching movies, and supporting anything his kids did.  Work was his home away from home.  His coworkers were extended family to him, and his bosses were like an extra set of parents who guided with love and respect.  Any kid that came into his home, blood or not, became like a son or daughter to him.  Tough love was given but everyone knew they always had a place in his home.  Antwoin was kind, even to strangers.  He was always thinking of the other person in any situation, selflessly helping when it was needed.  His quiet demeanor was a strength you could just feel.  Antwoin was preceded in death by his mother; a sister, Evelyn Wiggley Gardner; maternal grandparents, Charles and Evelyn Martin; and a special aunt, Carie Mae Noble.  He is survived by his wife; 3 children, Martez, Savannah, and Sophia; his father; siblings, Charles (Angie) Wiggley of Waterloo, Michael (Erika Silva) Gamblin III of Kennewick, WA, Corey (Ashley) Gardner of Waterloo, Farrah (Joe) West of Clear Water, FL, Grace Keene of Waterloo, and Josh (Ashley) Hanson of Waterloo; his mother in law, Mary (Brian) Hanson; God Mothers, Deloris Mosley and Carol (Carl) Samuels; “brothas from anotha motha,” Trey (Destiny) Williams, Jameison Harris, Carondis Harris-Anderson, Rumain Grundy, Marcus (Vanessa) Grundy, BJ Mosley, Jason MaCallister, and Chris (Jan) Siech; “sistas from anotha mista” Erica Mosley, Tami McCallister, and Lorraine Mosley; and his nieces and nephews, Jordan (bonus daughter), Devin, Trey, Marjuel, Brian (bonus son), Paris, Que’lyn, Que’licia, Veneia, Javez, Famirra, Tyce, Que’londrius, Corey Jr, Valarie, Landon, Austin, Hunter, Caleb, Tayian, Ellie, Sasha, De’Mari, Cloe, Cailyn, Dakoda, and Que’lonte.  A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, February 15, 2024, at 2:00 PM, at Hope City Church in Waterloo.  The visitation will be on Wednesday, February 14, 2024, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM, at Parrott and Wood Chapel of Memories.
