He grew up in Kearney County and attended rural school. The family moved to a farm west of Lowell in 1943, and he graduated from Gibbon High School in 1948.

His love of family, farming, hunting and fishing sustained his life. He never knew a stranger. He retired from farming in 2005.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Velma Duncan and Treva Davis; and brother, Dale.

Wayne was a special person.I loved how he teased me.I saw him dressed up one night and I had to ask who he was. HE looked at me and told me it was wayne lange. I had only seen him in work clothes and a ball cap. what a difference being in a suit does to a person. He had a specail cow called molly that lives in Minden. I HOPE THEY KEEP THE COW TILL IT DIES. THAT'S WHAT HE WOULD WANT I KNOW. I WORKED WITH TERRY AT THE STORE IN GIBBON, SHE HAD A GREAT FATHER. WAYNE IS IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE NOW. HE HURTS NO MORE AND HE'S UP THERE TALKING TO ALL THE OTHER FARMERS THAT ARE UP THERE AND EVERYONE ELSE.
