In Memory of Wayne

Hi, my name is Emily and I am creating this fundraiser in honor of my step father, Wayne, and on behalf of my mother who is having a very devastating time putting the love of her life to rest.

Wayne was such a good person with such a warm and loving heart. He would, and has, literally given his own shirt off of his back to anyone in need. I am sure those who knew him personally knew at least a story or two of how kind hearted he was. He fought extremely hard for his life battling cancer and his family has gone through so much watching him suffer. Unfortunately, cancer won the war. He was still so young and none of us were ready for this. To say he’s gone too soon is simply an understatement. He has left behind his wife, Lori, his daughter, Angela, his son, Vincent, his two step daughters, Emily and Holly, and brand new baby granddaughter, along with many other family and friends. He was a family man and always did right by his children. Vintage cars and Harley Davidsons were his passion. He had a life time of building and welding as a career and accomplished many big projects.

With this unexpected passing, my mother is going through a hardship of trying her very best to keep all his last wishes and promises to put him to rest, as we were not prepared and ready to let him go. Our family would be the last to ever ask for help from our community but we just want to do what is best for Wayne and let him rest peacefully. It seems as though as it is we are not able to fulfill all of his last wishes, but with some help, we can do the best we can to give him a beautiful service. Any donations through this devastating time are whole heartedly appreciated, even in the smallest amounts. Just by sharing will help take some of the stress and financial burden of the wake services off my mothers shoulders.

Thank you for reading Wayne’s story. He is now riding with the angels.
