Only had a few brief interactions with Wayne over some years cycling, it was obvious to me he was the kind of good person that makes this world a better place. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.

We knew Wayne's parents, Denzel and Nadine at Third Baptist, decades ago, in fact, Linda taught the Sunday School Class which Nadine attended. Then a few short years ago, we came to know and love Wayne and Sue, and made the connection.. small world.
Like others, we recognize Wayne, and Sue, as being a champion for Christ, with the true heart of a servant(s). Wayne is dearly missed, and it feels so wrong that he was taken, for now. Yet, we are joyful for his "gain" as put forth by...

Wayne was a classmate at West Point (Class of 1965) and good friend. Our paths diverged after graduation. But I am certain that "goodness and mercy followed him all the days of his life and that he dwells in the house of the Lord forever"

Oh, Sue, I’m so sorry to hear this. I cannot think of a more kind man than Wayne. While I haven’t ridden with the bike group in a long time, he was such a wonderful bike group friend. May your many happy memories help your through an unimaginable time.
