Charles Patrick “Pat” Windham was born in Shelby County, Texas, November 1, 1934 to Laurie W. and Zelma Windham. He died February 6, 2022, at age 87, at his home in the Campti community of Shelby County.
For over fifty years, Brother Pat Windham followed his calling from Christ to be a preacher of the Gospel, including over 30 years spent as pastor of Center Missionary Baptist Church in Center, Texas. He spent 67 years married to his lovely wife Janice Ware Windham – who predeceased him by one week.
Brother Pat was a great blessing, encouragement, and help to me when I, a young wet-behind-the-ears preacher, met him in the mid-1980s. I preached several times at Center, and he preached for us many times at Old Prospect. We did not spend as much time together in our later years, as God’s Providence would have it. I did have the opportunity to hold a weeks’ meeting with them at Center in the late 2010s. The last time Brother Pat preached at Old Prospect was in October 2014, when he was the main speaker at our 40th anniversary service. At that time, he was already having some issues that racked his body with pain. All at Old Prospect gladly testify that the Lord made Brother Pat a blessing to them.
May the Lord bless this family, who has suffered two losses within a week, with much love and comfort.
