Wayne lived a full life and was always unapologetically himself. A little rough around the edges, stubborn, and never afraid to speak his mind, you never had to wonder where you stood with him. In his earlier years, he was a hardworking man as a Boat Captain, who believed in putting in an honest day’s work. He lived life on his own terms and did things his own way...right up until the end. Beneath that tough exterior was a man who cared in his own way, and those who truly knew him understood the heart behind the rough edges. He leaves behind a lifetime of stories, memories, and a character that will not soon be forgotten.
Wayne is survived by his son, Joshua Hiles and his significant other, Lisa; his daughter, Jeana Moore; his step-children that he has raised as his own, Tyonia Hebert and her husband Gregory, Lloyd Gros and his wife Jennifer, Heath Gros and his wife Chante, Chad Gros, and Dawn Gro
