Wayne was born on January 3, 1950 in Olney, Texas to the late James "J.T." and Joyce Marie (Smith) Roberts. He graduated from Olney High School in 1968 and then received his Bachelor's degree from Midwestern State University. He taught Physical Education and Health for several years at Burkburnett, Bowie and Wichita Falls and completed his career at Fannin Elementary teaching there for over twenty years. He was a wonderful teacher and a role model to his students. After his retirement, he spent most of his time taking care of his parents. Wayne loved sports and was a die-hard Yankee fan. He was always trying to convince others to agree with his way of thinking. Wayne loved spending time with his nieces and nephew who lovingly called him "Uncle Bubba". He loved his dog, or as he called him, "his boy" Jake.
Survivors include his boy, Jake; two sisters and brothers-in-law, Angela and Robert Williams of Kent, Ohio and Kathy and Glen Woodall of Olney; two nieces, Samantha McKisic and Katy Grubbs; one nephew, Joshua Williams; two great-nephews, Ryan Talley and Trenton Grubbs; and one great-niece, Lexie McKisic.
