After graduating from Mt. Carmel High School, Wayne (as most everyone referred to him), joined the USAF. After serving honorably in the military for 8 years, he and his wife Peggy established their home in Many, Louisiana, where they raised their three children. He worked as an electrician for many years at Boise Cascade, and then later he had his own logging business.

Wayne dearly loved his family and took every opportunity he could to spend time with them. He enjoyed antique cars and old tractors. Attending car shows and camping with his family were two of his greatest joys in life. He also enjoyed attending church with his family and spending time together afterwards.

Funeral services were held on October 3, 2021 at Provencal United Pentecostal Church, with Reverend Paul Grace officiating. Burial followed in the Florien Cemetery.

Pallbearers were Ronald Dockens, Reggie Green, Caleb Dockens, Christopher Burnell, Jacob Adams, Billy Colston, Victor Lee, and Shanna Green. Honorary pallbearer is Shawn (Sonny) Erwin.
