Robert Wayne Spears ("Wayne") was born in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, on November 5, 1934. He was surrounded by family and friends when he passed away September 18, 2023.

He also enjoyed fishing, flying, boating, NASCAR racing, quiet time at home with Connie and their dog Jenny, and spending time with friends at the Agua Dulce Airport. Wayne lived in the Agua Dulce, California, area for 47 years, along with time in Florida and summers in Alaska.
Wayne is survived by his wife Constance "Connie" Spears; children Richard "Rick" Spears, Robert "Bob" Spears, James Heyen, Tami Smith, and Susan Heyen; nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; sister Carolyn Crittendon and brother William "Bill" Spears.
