    Tribute to Wayne:

    Wayne held a very special place in our hearts and was dear to us in so many ways. We miss him. The part of Wayne that we love most about him was his genuine heart, he had a heart of gold that was as big as the sky! Wayne never lost sight of the principles that he lived by. He was an honest man who had the best of intentions when it came to his fellow men. He was intellectual and a deep thinker. He shared his thoughts and feelings with us on many occasions about life, his thoughts and beliefs in God, what he thought about the world and its economy as well as America and its economy. He shared his views on politics and sports as well as NASCAR news and events. Wayne just loved to sit and visit and when you were with him you had his undivided attention and interest. In addition to his honest and genuine nature he was naturally respectful and considerate. He lived by the principles he most wanted to believe and see in others, he lived by the golden rule… do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We are so thankful that our lives were touched by his, we cherish his memory and are so thankful for his friendship and love. Along with “family”, genuine friendship and love are some of this life’s most treasured possessions. Again, we love Wayne and we miss him.

    To us all… In light of Wayne and his memory we all have the power to make a difference by being good, honest, genuine people and uplift and enlighten the lives of everyone around us just like Wayne did. His laugh and his smile always made you feel warm and welcome with him. He will always be remembered by his goodness and his genuine disposition. He will be missed but his memory will always be sweet and cherished. We wish him God speed.
    His Utah Family
