Wayne Krauth Obituary

Krauth, Wayne William,

68, of Ormond Beach, FL, went to be with his Lord on April 11, 2015, following a short illness.

Born in Louisville, he survived his street racing days to graduate from Valley High School. At the age of 25, the white sand beaches he loved to drive on brought him to the Daytona Beach area. An auto body man by trade, he worked for many years at local dealerships before finally retiring to restore classic cars in his spare time. He never met a stranger, even though his front door mat read "Oh no, not you again!!" He was generous and loyal to his friends, counting his Harley rides and long summer days on the St. Johns River among his favorite memories. One never had to call before visiting Wayne, as we all know he valued a good conversation with a friend or family member more than any gift.

He was predeceased by his parents, Donald and Helen, and brother Danny.

Left behind to treasure him are: Nancy Allgood (the love of his life), brothers Morris (Jenny), Donnie (Shari), and sister Tina (Gary), in addition to nephews, Rickey, Kevin, Daniel, Taylor, and nieces, Laura, Tara, Kayla and Marina.

There will be a Celebration of Life held for Wayne on Saturday, May 9, 2015 from 5-8 p.m. at VFW Post 3282, 5810 Williamson Blvd., Port Orange, FL 32128.

Cheerful floral arrangements are welcome or donations may be made in Wayne's honor to the Halifax Humane Society, 2364 LPGA Blvd., Daytona Beach, FL, 32124.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
