I met Wayne thru marrying into the family, and glad I got to see a transformation in Wayne that you don't see very often. I was proud of him and enjoyed talking with him. He had a great outlook on life and became very wise in his life choices, and helping others do the same. You will be misses by many friends and family. I prayed to God to have you healed and remain here but God had another plan for you, which I am sure you are finding out now about that. Even though, we all have sadness , we have to remember that GOD chose you to be with him. Have a great time up in heaven.

Brother what can I say. I am so proud of you the way you took your life under control. Through your experiences in life you have most likely helped many find themselves and find their way to God. I find peace knowing where you are and looking down on all of us. Just know brother I look forward to one day seeing and hugging you again for I am assured that I will join you in His presence. Love you Wayne

Lwanna start off by saying I am very blessed to have had my big brother back because of all your successes of sobriety that made it possible. I am so utterly proud of you❣️❣️❣️
Ever since God called you home I have found it Difficult to do anything. But with Gods help and you as my angel.
“As long as I can I will look at this world for both of us, as long as I can, I will live, laugh and love for both of us. I will camp and enjoy nature for both of us, I will pray to the stars, for both of us.”
Rest in peace my big brother. I will always love and miss you❤️
