on October 2, 1935 in Benton Harbor, Michigan to Lawrence “Jim” and Thelma Arent.
Wayne proudly served his country in the United States Army. He worked for several years in the
tool and Dye industry. In his younger years he was an avid runner and liked to go biking. He
loved being outdoors and deer hunting. He loved to go camping with his grandchildren and
spend time with his family. He had a sweet tooth, there was no cookie or pie that was safe
when Wayne was around. He was a fun-loving independent man with a great sense of humor.
Wayne will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Arent.
Wayne is survived by: daughter, Renee (Len) Burrington; grandchildren, Christy (Jason) Pruett,
