Mr. Wallace, 55, died June 24, 2016, in Hazlehurst.  He was born December 19, 1960, to Gordon and Lorean Hisaw Wallace.

Wallace graduated from Southwest Mississippi Community College as a LPN.  He worked as an LPN at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center and also at a hospital in Louisiana.  He then worked for many years as the head chef at Fernwood Country Club.  His talent for cooking was never learned at a culinary school, but given by God and taught by his mother and grandmother.  He worked for Will and Gay Austin in his later years.
