Our thoughts are with all of Waynes family at this time. We have fond memories of our time together with Wayne and the family and Wayne always had a good sense of humor and enjoyed so much being with family and friends.

I met DeWayne at Brookhaven where my dad Charlie Brotherton was a resident. He was such a delightful man. He always had a ready smile for everyone. Even thru all of his problems with his feet, he was still pleasant. He brightened my day when I saw him and I know his children will miss him. I’m sure he has a special place in Heaven. God Bless.
