I'm now learning of this to a heavy heart Wayne was my grandfather neighbor in Coldwater so I spent every summer from the early 1980s up till the mid 90s around Wayne he played a little bit of a father role to me. Me and Scott were best friend and spent most minutes together Wayne was also a great friend to my grandfather with there morning run for a cup of mud as they called it to there mutual assistance in many home remodeling projects I have literally 100s of memory of him he was a great man I'm truly grateful for everything he ever did for me as I write this his voice come in my head thx Wayne for everything may God bless you for eternity

Wayne I´ll never forget our last chat on the phone. I look back on the conversation and can´t help but think you knew things weren´t good but you never let on! I´ll always cherish our friendship and hope we cross paths in heaven. You certainly added a bright spot in my life rest in peace my friend!

I met Waine in the army in Fort sill Oklahoma back in the summer of 1977. When I first met Waine he chose me to go with him on tank trails to test drive jeeps for the motor pool. I remember sitting on the battery box catching my coveralls on fire and just watching Waine laugh at me. Had a good time all that day. Got in trouble when we got back to the motor pool but it was worth it. I’m happy to say the last day I spent with Waine. And just like the first day I met him laughing and having fun. He will be missed by me one of his best friends Willy!

Wayne,
A year has passed since God took you. He saw you needed rest. Death leaves such a heartache. To me you were so special. I thought the world of you. You were my strength, never will I forget you. You remain forever in my heart. I miss you!
Love, Nance❤

To my brother Wayne, your memory will forever live in my heart! Thank you for everything that you have done to make my life a little easier. You have always been my rock and it is so hard to say goodbye to someone I
love so much.
I will miss that beautiful grin and the way you always made me laugh. You hold a special place in my heart and in my life.
Thank you for always being the first one to lend a helping hand to anyone who had a need.
We have lost someone very special. There is a dark cloud of sadness in the air. You will be greatly missed. I love you!❤ Nancy

His family were our neighbors when we lived in Ray. Every year we returned to Ray I always looked forward to Wayne and Dan s visiting me talking and laughing on our front porch. We had lost touch and I always wondered what happened to him . So sorry to hear this about Wayne and my thought and prayers go out to April and Nancy.
