Honoring Our Beloved Clergy This Appreciation Month! 🙏

At Pipkin Braswell Funeral Home & Cremation, October holds a special significance as we celebrate Clergy Appreciation Month. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated pastors, ministers, spiritual leaders, and faith communities who serve with unwavering commitment throughout Denver and beyond.

Your tireless work in guiding, comforting, and strengthening our community does not go unnoticed. We are continually inspired by your compassion, wisdom, and selfless service, especially during times of both joy and profound sorrow.

We are truly blessed to walk alongside you. Our mission to serve grieving families is deeply intertwined with the spiritual care you provide. Together, we form a vital network of support, helping families navigate their darkest hours with grace and hope.

As Ephesians 4:11-12 reminds us: "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."

Thank you for equipping, for ministering, and for being such an essential part of the body of Christ in our community. We honor you this month and always.

It is with heavy hearts and deep reverence that we announce the passing of a devoted veteran, accomplished educator, and cherished member of our community, Lieutenant Colonel Oscar Wendell Hall. Oscar passed away peacefully on September 12, 2025, at the age of 91.

Born on May 18, 1934, in Kansas City, Missouri, Oscar's journey brought him to Denver, Colorado, where he graduated from East High School. His lifelong commitment to learning was evident in the two Master’s degrees he earned.

Oscar dedicated his life to serving his country. After enlisting in the U.S. Army, he joined the United States Air Force, serving as a Computer Radio Instructor from 1959 to 1979, including participation in the Vietnam War. His dedication and leadership earned him the esteemed rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Following his military service, he continued to teach communication in college.

To know Oscar was to love him. He had an infectious sense of humor, enjoyed grand adventures, and was a devout member of the OMIK Radio Association. Many will also remember his dashing youth—he was even featured in Ebony Magazine in June 1967 as one of the best eligible bachelors!

We invite all who loved Oscar to join us in celebrating his extraordinary life and legacy:

🗓️ Wednesday, October 8, 2025
⏰ 10:30 - 11:30 am MT (Mountain Time)
📍 Pipkin Braswell Funeral Home & Cremation, 6601 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80220

Please share this post to notify all who knew him. We encourage you to share your favorite story or a photo of Oscar in the comments below. Let's remember his joy and his impact.

Rest in peace, Oscar. Your service, brilliance, and spirit will never be forgotten. 🕊️
