Wayne was born on October 9, 1958 in Bagley, MN to Albert and Inez (Schwartz) Ehlers and was raised in the Leonard area. He graduated from Clearbrook High School and went to work for some local farmers. On October 6, 1979 Wayne was united in marriage to Sheryl Stormo and together they raised their family. They milked cows for themselves and later also other local dairy farmers. Wayne was on the road for a couple of years helping install fiber optic cables before returning to work at the Clearbrook Elevator.
Wayne loved deer hunting. He enjoyed reading and watching his Westerns. More than anything, he loved spending time with his family and grandchildren. Once he opened up, Wayne had quite the sense of humor and would tease those he liked. He was a very caring father and husband and will be deeply missed.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Inez Ehlers; his sister, Pauline; his father-in-law, Richard Stormo; his brother-in-law, David Miller; his niece, Lisa; and his grandson, Dax.
