Wayne Garner, Jr. Obituary
Wayne D. Garner, Jr., of Wilkinson, Indiana, passed away peacefully on February 4, 2026, at the age of 57. Born on July 23, 1968, in Indianapolis to Wayne Sr. and Myrtie (Ford) Garner, Wayne lived life to the fullest and was known for his amazing skills as a Master Auto Mechanic.
When he wasn't working on cars, you could find him cruising on his motorcycle or at various car shows. He had a love of going to NHRA/NASCAR races and loved spending time outdoors, especially when it involved shooting his guns. But more than anything else, Wayne cherished the moments spent with his beloved family.
Wayne is survived by his loving mother, Myrtie Garner; his sisters, Darlene (Robert) Parry and Jenny (Todd) Atkins; his uncle, Stan (Karen) Garner; and his nephews, Cody, Sean, and Stan Jr.
He was preceded in death by his father, Wayne Garner, Sr., along with his maternal grandparents, John and Greedle Ford, and paternal grandparents, Carlie and Hazel Garner.
A visitation will be from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Thursday, February 12, 2026, at Bozell Funeral Homes and Crematory, Condo Chapel, 130 South Main Street, Wilkinson, Indiana 46186. Online condolences may be shared at www.bozellfuneralhomes.com.
