Wayne Rayboun Obituary

Wayne Ellis Rayboun

Wayne Ellis Rayboun passed away on July 28, 2021, due to COVID-related complications. Wayne was born in Tallahassee on September 4, 1940, and graduated Florida High School in 1959, followed by active service with the U.S. Coast Guard, and 8-years of reserve service. Wayne married his beautiful, warm and intelligent wife, Jan, almost 50 years ago, and never stopped loving and caring for her until his final day. Wayne was such a hard worker during his life, serving as the dock manager at both K-Mart and then Maas Brothers (later Burdines) for nearly 30 years, even working additional jobs - sometimes 3 at a time, to support his family. Wayne is survived by Jan, his children Amy and Mark, his grandchildren, Faith, Sara and Dillon, his brother Billy, his brothers-in-law, Frank and Tom Walker, and his sister-in-law Becky Rayboun, along with many loving nieces and nephews. Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, Ellis and Mary Rayboun, and his brother Joe. At this time, and based upon Wayne's own wishes, no memorial service is planned, though his surviving family and friends will always cherish Wayne's memory in their hearts.

Susie Mozolic of Bevis Funeral Home is assisting the family with their arrangements. (www.bevisfh.com 850-385-2193)
