Wayne grew up in Beulah, FL on 20 acres 12 miles out in the country with his large loving family and many horses, dogs, cats, goats, pigs and cattle.

Wayne loved family and friend visits and gatherings and could tell big tales and stories from his past in the manner of his Grandpa Powell. He had many friends and in later years attended Beulah Baptist Church with his friend and relative Paul Busbee and his friend Allen Stoner. He also loved to sing and listen to country music and sang “You Are My Sunshine” to his daughter Deb during his last day.
