Friends and family knew him as a jokester. Once you met Wayne you would never forget him. He was larger than life and never took life for granted. He also had a serious side and fought for justice no matter who it affected. His life was centered around the love he had for his wife and fur babies. His wife meant everything to him. Their love was unbreakable. He was a boy at heart who loved driving a big truck while working at Chandler Concrete. Wayne enjoyed hunting, fishing, hiking in the woods with his fur missles, golfing, and welding.
