I just found out today about Wayne he was the greatest dentist that walked on this earth mom and I had him for over 30 years he will always remain with us as a special friend also if we would have known mom and I would have found a way of coming to say our goodbye he sent a letter a short v time ago saying he was retiring and I knew he had health issues but didn't know that God would take this wonderful man so soon...we will miss you Wayne

My deepest sympathies to the Mrjenovich family on the loss of one terrific man. The memories are very vivid of my visits over the years and being harassed and laughed at by Wayne & Tami for continually losing my partial. I have lost a terrific dentist and a man whose friendship and smiling face I will never forget. Rest In Peace, Dear Friend.

There are so many lives he touched in a positive way. So many memories that bring a smile and show how wonderful he was. So many stories about how he made difference in our lives. So many hearts that are feeling sadness, because he was loved. Dear cousin Wayne we will miss you for ever. Dane and Mary Pokrajac

My sincerest sympathy to the Mrjenovich family. I grew up with the Mrjenovich family and Wayne became my dentist, and always gave me the Burnham discount, until his retirement. My dental visits always turned into remembering the old neighborhood. Rest in Peace Wayne.

My Dear Cousin Wayne,
I imagine you and I see your big smile and that twinkle in your warm eyes that let your big, warm heart shine through♥♥♥ and I don't want to say goodbye. Thank you Wayne, from my whole family, for so many good times, so many laughs. You sure knew how to stretch out a belly laugh to get those tears of laughter rolling. We kids were happy just to watch you crack up we would crack up just seeing you crack up, even if we couldn't fathom what you and the other "adults" were cracking up about. Like all of us, Dad loved you so much and adored spending time with you too, and boy was he touched that you wanted to write his memoirs he always said you were a great storyteller. Dad also always said you were a "stand-up guy" - and you know that was the highest praise ever, coming from Dad!!! Right this moment, you two are probably getting into mischief hanging out at the corner tavern just inside those pearly gates...
If I had to choose just one single word to describe you, it would be impressive. Going back as far as I can, I was in awe of you and that's because you were always doing impressive things, one impressive thing right after another: whether you were telling a story or bragging about your new wife Jenny or just hanging with the guys around a cool car, looking cool as the Fonz in your rolled-up tee shirt (way before there was a Fonz, you were cool), or becoming a dentist or having your beautiful children Andrew and Michael. And you know you've hit the big time when you're able to impress your Mom and Dad, Aunt Marcy and Uncle John, plus my Dad, plus Grandma. And boy, were you a hit at those family reunions. If you weren't at one, it just wasn't the same. I remember one time how Uncle Scott was teasing you-- something about your being a big man on campus and maybe a bit of a young upstart, too or maybe it was hellion?- something about you being in a motorcycle gang maybe (I'm just teasing you too :))) I was just 11, you were about 19, and I'll never forget your impressive response so funny but respectful and good-natured...no sassing the elders for you!!! Not that Uncle Scott could ever say anything sass-worthy but you know what I mean it was all in good fun :))) The thing is, you were just one all-around great guy, a big, teddy bear from the top of the heap, the best of the south side or any side. I so wish I could talk to you right now and that Rich could meet you...I'm sorry that our paths never synced up when both of us were in town... you would have loved each other. Goodbye my dear cousin I love you and will miss you forever Wayne... Goodbye my dear cousin and thank you from the bottom of my heart for so many wonderful memories.
All my love, Renae

R.I.P dear cousin! To your beautiful wife and two sons my sincere condolences. Wayne was like a big brother to me. Reminded me so much of my brother Eddy. A man's man who could hug a child, take care of a patient, or coach football all with equal veracity! His Mom and Dad my awesome Aunt and Uncle are two of the greatest people in my life and its easy to see where Wayne got his love for others. Thanks for all the life lessons you taught me Wayne. You are gone but never forgotten! May your soul and the souls of all the dearly departed rest in peace and may thy perpetual light shine upon you!

Dr Wayne was my dentist and a friend. He was an interesting person and showed an interest in my life also. . "My only comfort in life and in death is that I am not my own, but belong body and soul, in life and in death, to my faithful Savior."
