We are heartbroken to share the passing of our brother Wayne, a truly gifted guitarist whose music touched countless lives. Wayne was more than just an extraordinary musician—he was a passionate artist, a friend, and a soul who lived through his music.

Throughout his life, Wayne shared his incredible talent on stages alongside some of the most iconic names in music, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege to hear him play. Despite his immense talent and contributions, Wayne lived a humble life and did not have the financial means set aside for end-of-life arrangements.

His family is now faced with the difficult task of honoring his memory and organizing a memorial service that reflects the beauty and spirit he brought into the world. We are reaching out to friends, fans, and anyone who was moved by Wayne’s music to help support this effort.

Your donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward covering memorial expenses and giving Wayne the tribute he truly deserves. If you are unable to give, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Wayne’s life, his music, and the legacy he leaves behind.

With gratitude,

The Perkins family
