Briggett Wendell Ellis

Briggett’s Life and Legacy Briggett Wendell Ellis, affectionately known as Wendy, the son of Helen M. Ellis and Anthony Morris, was born on September 16,1963. He was the third of four siblings. On Friday, October 15, 2021 he joined into eternal fellowship with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was educated in the public school system of Wicomico County in Salisbury, Maryland. Briggett was employed at various places in Salisbury and Cambridge as a laborer. Briggett was a skilled mixed media artist who loved to use his quiet time creating portraits and still life objects. One of his favorite things to do was shoot pool for money and talk trash. We also can not forget his favorite pastime of his love of being a “professional debater.” He loved to get his point across and if you were the opponent, consider yourself the loser. His family and friends will always remember him as having a great sense of humor who enjoyed life to the fullest. He always acted himself and did not put on any airs—you just would receive Wendy or Briggs (his new nickname) at his finest. Whenever you spoke with him, he was very kind and easy to talk to—anybody and everybody. He also enjoyed music and some of his favorite artists were New Birth and Marvin Gaye. He was loved by many and will remain a part of our lives forever. Briggett leaves to mourn, yet to celebrate his life: his devoted mother, Helen M. Ellis and his father, Anthony Morris; his son, Avion Wilson and two grandchildren; his siblings, Cynthia N. Williams of Baltimore, Maryland, Carlos M. Ellis and April L. Ellis; two uncles, Henry Cornish of Wilmington Delaware and William (Joyce) Cornish of Salisbury, Maryland; one aunt, Carrie Conway of Salisbury, Maryland and his nieces and nephews (whom he affectionately adored), Kiscia Cannon-Williams (Jonathan) of Baltimore, Maryland, Chelana Ellis, Richonda Ellis and J’uan Williams and a host of special cousins and friends. In Memoriam It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God took you home. If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches make a lane, we would walk our way to heaven, and bring you back again. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill. SUBMITTED WITH LOVE, THE FAMILY
