Wayne was a sports fan and loved to support the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Longhorns, Texas Tech Red Raiders, Texas Rangers and high school football. He was an avid fly fisherman and enjoyed good coffee. His time with his coffee group was always the perfect start to a good day.

Per Wayne’s wishes he did not want a formal service and the family will honor him privately with their own ceremony in Maui and carry on the love they shared together.
