Read MoreWayne was a class act. I owe him a debt of gratitude which can't be repaid. He believed in me and supported me in my professional career. I will miss his advice and insights immensely, but more importantly, as a wonderful person.

I am deeply upset to hear of the passing of my Cousin, Wayne. He was a wonderful man, much like his own father. I will always cherish the conversation that we had nearly 2 years ago as he drove home from Dallas. We had a couple more conversations after that, building on "Family History". I do hope that he was able to get his book written.
My love & prayers go out to his entire family. Please remember that he will always live on in your hearts & memories.

We all will miss this kind & sweet man. He always took time to visit with me and through the years, we've shared many stories. He made everyone feel special. I will miss his occasional afternoon coffee visits at the office and his loving smile. He had such compassion for others and lived his life exactly as 1 Corinthians 13:4–8a professes. Fly high sweet man!

Wayne was a soft spoken, kind, gentle man that will be greatly missed. He left behind a wonderful heritage as a man of integrity and a father of three dear children who can be so thankful for his godly influence.

Wayne was such a good friend to my folks. He was very faithful to visit dad in his last few years.

Even though I had known Wayne for only a few years, I can say that he was one of the finest men I have ever known.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Heidy, Cash, Cara, Rita and Jim. The loss of a father/brother is so hard.
Lean on the Lord and he will give you strength. You know that your dad/brother is rejoicing with the Lord in heaven right now. We are so glad that we got to see Wayne in March and have a nice visit with him.
