Wayne married the love of his life, Mary, on June 22, 1973. Together they built a life centered on family and shared values. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
Wayne was an avid hunter for many years and loved watching NASCAR. Above all, he cherished spending time with his family, which brought him the greatest joy in life.
He is survived by his beloved wife Mary; children Lindsie, Lacey (Scott), Stacy (Perry), and sister-in-law Melissa (Bill); sisters Gloria (Logan) and Kay (Dennis), and grandchildren Jake, Jack, Maigan, Finley, Reese and Elsie.
