In early July, Wayne became suddenly ill and was admitted to the hospital. We learned he had a bone infection, and a PICC line was inserted for him to start receiving daily IV infusions. He is not able to work while he has the PICC line.

He was doing amazing in his recovery. He sought out many resources for improving his health long-term and was enthusiastically working not only to heal but to improve his chances of becoming stronger and healthier for the rest of his life.

On July 29th, he got up for his IV infusions and was suddenly so weak he couldn't stand. He went to the ER, and we discovered his blood pressure was dropping dangerously low any time he moved from the lying position. He was admitted to the hospital again with only questions and no answers.

We don't know what is happening with his health at the moment.

Wayne has tirelessly and joyfully been the main provider for our family.

Every day, he woke up with love and determination to provide for the people he loved.

Our small immediate family has tirelessly been trying to fill the void in his absence.

Outside of financial obligations, we desperately miss the love and happiness he brought to our daily lives just by being himself.

To know Wayne is to love him. He is a selfless heart that will give to any person (or animal) his time, energy, and help in any form to help or bring joy.

Any help received will go towards bills, gas, groceries, and medical costs/premiums that we are struggling to cover at this time.

Thank you for the outpouring of love and concern shown to our family at this time. We truly know some of the most beautiful and amazing people ❤️
