Edward Jenner Wood, V shined bright in the lives of all who met him during his all too short four years on this earth.

Jenner was born on January 29, 2019, his mother and father’s first-born son. At home, he was “Tuggy” and “Brother.” To his younger brother, Howell, his “Baby” whom he adored, he was a doting big brother. Jenner’s soul was deep and wide. To his friends and to his family he was uniquely sensitive, kind, genuine, and inquisitive. He was spiritual in his relationship with nature.

Happily engaged at Christ Church Preschool, Jenner was learning how to sort the sounds of various songbirds and to delight in the stars and how the planets move. He was especially fascinated by dinosaurs, Spiderman, construction sites, and sirens of all sorts. Red firetrucks were the best.

Jenner was happiest in his home and yard in Charlotte with his mom, dad, and especially his brother. He loved taking family trips to the beach and boat rides from his family’s home in McClellanville, South Carolina. He and Howell spent every waking moment together. Jenner took it upon himself to teach his brother everything he knew: the names of trucks, how to play baseball, where golf balls could be found in nearby yards. Jenner was his brother’s idol.
