I wish we could be together with you all to share in the sorrow of saying goodbye to our beloved cousin Wayne, and to celebrate his amazing life. I hope many of you will be able to travel to the memorial service. The rest of us will be together in spirit, in remembering Wayne and all the warm and happy memories we share with him.
Wayne was one of the great pillars of the Stephens Family. I have always loved hearing the stories from my Dad and others at our family reunions of early days growing up. And I have many wonderful memories of family gatherings, reunions, trips to Silver Creek. Wayne would often stop by our place to visit on a Saturday afternoon, and to tease and joke and tell stories with my Dad. He really valued family, and went out of his way to visit, and also to help people. We will remember his smile, his jokes, the twinkle in his eye. He was warm and friendly and generous. Wayne, we will miss you and all the love and laughter you brought to our lives. The world is a better place having had you in it for sure. We will always remember you with a smile and great fondness ♥️ thank you Wayne!
Sending my love and healing thoughts to all of Wayne's family and loved ones.
