Heartbroken over the passing of my lifelong friend Wayne and sending my thoughts, love and prayers to the Wright family and close friends who have cared for him this past year. Thank you all for that support. Wayne and I shared an unbreakable bond as kids and through our graduation from Maloney in 89. We were tight both in and out of school, but especially on the baseball field, where we exchanged throws across the diamond (him at third base, me at first) for more than a decade. From Little League through the state final in high school, I dont think I ever took another throw from anyone else at that position. He was a superstar. He hit .530 in his final year playing for my Dad in LL and helped us win 3 titles in 4 years. And he was pivotal in helping us finish No. 3 in the state and getting to that state final in high school. He played at only one level ... hard. He hit the ball hard and threw it harder. He once threw a ball off the dirt infield at Maloney that bounced up and cracked two of my ribs. Wish I could get in front of one of those throws again, big guy ... Beyond the wins, the fights, the high fives and the laughs on the diamond, we were great friends off the field. Our families were super close and I miss those gatherings. It was ... the best of times for both of us and I'll always remember them fondly. Most of all, I'll remember this smile, this crazy good tan, that mighty swing, and that one of a kind brashness. You were a rock star who lived life to the fullest. May you enjoy a game or two up there with your dad and my dad watching. Just keep those throws up! Rest peacefully my man.

We are so sorry to learn of Wayne´s passing. My husband and I worked with Wayne at G.Fox back in the day when we were just a bunch of kids having the time of our lives. Wayne was a super sweet guy and a fun person to be around. We remember him dressed to the nines as a salesperson in men´s department. It´s been a number of years since we last saw Wayne, but he definitely made a lasting impression on us. I hope he is at peace now. Our deepest condolences.

I condolences to the Wright family and friends of Wayne. I coached him for American legion baseball back in the late 80s. A fierce competitor who always came prepared to play. He always wanted more swings in the batting cage. And more ground balls at third base to perfect is craft. He will be greatly missed.
