He is also survived by his grandchildren: Simone, Wyatt, Cassius and Evan; his siblings Janice Boggess, Cathy (Roger) Lockstein, Christy (David) Krueger, Cindy Benzar and Curtis Funk. He will also be forever remembered by his best friend and cousin, Rick (Donna) Dunk and his four-legged friends, Bowser and Shae. He is further survived by other relatives and friends.

Wayne was preceded in death by his parents.
