W.A. Kendrick Obituary. Posted online on June 23, 2021 by The New-Press, Fort Myers, Fla. Coach W.A. "Dub" Kendrick, age 95, of Fort Myers, passed away on June 17, 2021 surrounded by his family. He is preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Mary M. Kendrick. Dub is survived by his sister, 2 daughters and sons-in-law, 6 grandsons and their wives, and 5 great-grandsons. Dub served in the United States Marine Corp during WWII. Following his service, he played football at Florida State University, where he was named Most Valuable Player of the undefeated 1950 team. Dub also earned a teaching degree from George Peabody College in Nashville, TN. Dub served as Head Coach and Athletic Director at Pahokee High School in Pahokee, FL and then at Waycross High School in Waycross, GA. For his service in Waycross, Dub was inducted into the Ware County Hall of Fame. Beginning in 1959, Dub spent 31 years serving Fort Myers High School as a teacher, coach, and athletic director. His time in Fort Myers was also marked by raising his two daughters with his beloved wife, and creating lifelong connections with his students, players and friends. The Fort Myers High School Track and Field House was named in Dub's honor, and he was inducted into the Fort Myers Track and Field Club Hall of Fame. Dub always felt so blessed to maintain contact with his prior players, students and friends - many of whom he continued to share special memories and jokes with for years to come. Dub was a devoted husband,
father, and grandfather who will be greatly missed. |
