Our dear friend and beloved family member, Wayne, passed away peacefully on the evening of Friday, 05/09. Wayne was a devoted father who raised his daughters with unconditional love, giving them safety, stability, and a beautiful life and familial bond. He created countless cherished memories with his late wife, Liz, his daughters, grandchildren, and many dear friends who became family along the way.

He loved music, and during his final hours he was resting peacefully with Classic Rock playing nearby, bringing him comfort. If you knew Wayne’s sense of humor, you can imagine his chuckle as Van Halen’s “Get Me a Doctor” and Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” happened to play back to back - a perfectly timed moment that felt so very “Wayne.” What a goofball.

Since losing Liz a few years ago, Wayne carried a deep love for her and longed to be reunited with her again. While our hearts are heavy with grief, we find comfort in knowing he is finally free from pain and at peace.

We ask that you keep his daughters, grandchildren, and loved ones in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

We have created this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden of Wayne’s final medical expenses and funeral costs. Any donation, no matter the amount, will help his daughters honor his final wishes and give him the memorial and farewell he deserves.

If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping the family in your prayers, wrapping them with light and love. Also encouraged are shared photos and memories. Thank you for your kindness, support, and love during this time.
