My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Matthews Family during this tragic time. Wayne hired me straight out of college, with no experience, to work at the Yadkin Center. I learned so much during my 6yrs working with him - much of which he probably never intended to teach. Wayne was so pleasant and always had a story to tell. Even though he's gone, his memory and legacy will live on for years to come!

I met Dr. Matthew's while working with NCWorks helping students get into the trucking class at SCC. He always had a smile on his face and would help whenever I needed help getting information or just an update on what was going on. He was so proud on graduation day supporting the new graduates with their new found careers and always seemed to make them, the instructors, and the families understand their hard work. He had a wonderful heart, spirit, and was truly genuine. Prayers to his family and friends. This is a big loss to the community, but God has found another angel to watch over his flock. He will be missed.

Wayne was a caring and fun loving individual who cared for everyone he came in contact with. He was a public servant to the core. He was so proud of Loretta and the kids. I know they were proud of him.
I will miss hearing about the latest happenings in Yadkin county and the latest joke. God speed to a well deserved reward.

Wayne was one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. His easy going style and wit was a joy to witness. He always "warmed up" my students with a corny joke before each class so I called him my Ed McMahon. He will surely be missed but never forgotten!! My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days ahead.
