His love of life was his dear Geniel! We all knew that she was the most important person in his life. One of his deepest heartaches was their separation for the past three years. We are all so profoundly touched with the love he had for her. We know their reunion was so sweet.
Wayne will be missed by many, he made everyone around him happier. He loved his family and his Father in Heaven and Savior. He taught his family the importance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He always led by example and his actions confirmed his sincere testimony of Jesus Christ. We love you, Dad!
