Wayne was born on August 2, 1963 in Saint Peter, Minnesota to Delpha and Albert Passon. He grew up in Saint Peter and graduated from Saint Peter High School.

Outside of work, he spent his time camping with friends, fishing with his dad, brother and son, volunteering with the Nicollet County Fair Board of Directors, Boy Pioneers, and for his church Saint Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church.
He is survived by his wife Carrie; son Brandon (daughter-in-law Allison); daughter Brittany (son-in-law Chris); grandchildren Logan, Bennett, Margaret, and Travis; brother David; and mother Delpha.
Wayne was preceded in death by his father Albert and mother-in-law LaDonna Thompson.
