Wayne Mark Jorgensen

One of my favorite stories about Wayne is: We were at a youth conference. Wayne had been asked to be a chaperone or maybe a bouncer. At night when the kids were going back to their bunks he was in charge of making sure the boys went one way and the girls went the other. Well he was pretty disappointed when he didn't get to shoot one of the boys with his paintball gun when they crossed the line. But he did manage to get some shots off to decorate the outshouse.

To follow that same character. One time Vicki Jennings was teaching gospel doctrine. As she started the lesson, wanting to start with an object lesson,know Wayne loved to garden, she asked Wayne what he was growing in his garden this year. He replied without even a flinch. "Maraijuana" You just never know. Love Wayne

One last thing. Wayne would show up at our door step with wheat flour, which was great. But my favorite is when he showed up with a knife he had made. I told him it was great, and I would love one. And Guess what I have my own knife that Wayne made, which is very special to me and even more now.

I have so many wonderful memories of Wayne. What a wonderful neighbor. One of my favorite memoris is the day I came home with a case (6) gallons of miss matched paint on my porch. Loved it.

He loved to chop down trees. One day my son in law, Mark was cutting down a branch of my tree, that had died. The next thing we knew is Wayne came with his bigger and better chain saw. Mark came up to my door and said "I have bad news, Wayne just cut down your whole tree. Oh well.

Wayne was my first Captain when I started for Corrections and was a great mentor and friend. We enjoyed some good times at work and also at play. Great man who will be missed!

I met Wayne working for the Dept. of Corrections. He was my captain, I man I always admired, who had a great sense of humor, and always looked out for his subordinates. I hope his family will be comforted during this time.
