Wayne Gaylin

Wayne was one of my dad´s best friends. When Wayne was CEO of the credit union, my dad was president of the board. They enjoyed golfing together and time in Arizona up until my dad´s passing. Wayne was one of the best men I´ve ever known. Sending all my love to Quanah and the family.

I remember many years ago, when I first started dating Wayne and Quanah´s nephew, Jeff. Even though Jeff and I were incredibly young at the time (15 & 17) It meant so much to him for me to meet his Uncle Wayne and Aunt Quanah-they were incredibly important to him.

Wayne is my father-in-law and I have many great memories with him. I was not the best handy-man but Wayne was always there with tools in hand and taught me so much. We both loved to golf and had many great rounds that always ended with his golf group, beer, collection of bets and many good laughs. Wayne was always kind to us all and made me feel welcome always; I'll miss him.

My Grandpa was the best ! He had such a kind heart and was a big part of my life . My grandpa made sure we went on amazing trips, and enjoyed making Christmas extra fun. My grandpa was the best Dad, Grandpa, husband and friend. He was always there anytime someone needed anything. I am so grateful that my son got to know his great grandpa Wayne for many years. He always showed up for his soccer games, holidays and performances. I enjoyed meeting him and grandma at breakfast some Sundays...

Wishing you comfort and peace to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart
