Wayne was born in Ravenna, OH on September 30, 1967. He was preceded in death by Harry and Jean Yenner of Wilmington, NC.
Wayne loved spending time in nature, woodworking and bonding with family and friends. In his spare time, he tended his garden and attempted to keep his cat, Cinnamon, from getting into too much mischief. His talents were beyond measure- He lived in the moment.
