Wayne completed his education in both Denver and Aurora Public Schools. He attended Northeast Academy in Denver, South Middle and Hinkley High Schools, both in Aurora. He made many friends and developed a passion for working on stereo systems. Wayne worked as a Forklift Driver. While employed in warehouses, he worked diligently with commitment to fulfil his job. To Wayne, relationships were extremely important. Those he had a relationship with knew him as the man that could brighten up a room with his smile, a jokester, and a protector. He touched so many lives, including his last act of protection, as he gave his life to save his sister and nephew. He was never afraid to give of himself. A hero who will never be forgotten.
