Wayne Richner Obituary
A visitation will be held from 4-6 P.M. on Monday, August 4, 2025 at the LeMieur Funeral Home in Little Falls, MN. Caring for Wayne and his family is the LeMieur Funeral Home in Little Falls, MN.
Wayne was born in October 1963 in Minneapolis, MN. He attended Little Falls Community High School before proudly serving in the Army National Guard, where he received an honorable discharge. Following his military service, Wayne worked a variety of jobs throughout his career. He enjoyed camping, watching football, spending time with friends, and having a good time. Wayne will be remembered for his infectious smile, his laughter, and the way he could light up any room he entered.
He was preceded in death by his father, Edsel; his stepfather, Tony; his mother, Marlyn; and his two sons, Ryan and Justin.
Wayne is survived by his daughter, Lacey (Datrick) Mitchell; grandchildren, Jasmine, Ciara, and DaVonte; siblings, Steven Richner, Jackie Wika, Barbara Nelson, and Dawn Ziemer; along with many nieces and nephews.
