I retired from KUB 3 years ago, but I worked with Wayne for 8 years prior to that. I was heartbroken to hear of his passing and will be in continual prayer for Katie, Payton and Norris and all of his family! Wayne was always a family man first and foremost and his  love and joy in that role was a delight to witness. I cannot imagine how much Katie and the boys must miss him! As others have said here, he was a caring and compassionate friend in the office and always had an encouraging word or a joke or  lighthearted comment to share. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and definitely left the world a better place, even though his life was far too short.

I met Wayne at UT as members of the Pride of the Southland, even more so when he started dating my good friend Katie. We spent a lot of time all of us together. I was in their wedding, it was such a beautiful and special day that I was very honored to be a part of. So many memories of Wayne, just an honestly good person. One of the best, lost way too soon. Praying for Katie, Payton and Norris, and everyone who knew and loved Wayne. I am sorry I had to miss what I’m sure was an honorable service.

Wayne was a great coworker and friend. Wayne and I worked side by side for many years and had many discussions about family. Wayne loved his family and often talked about his wife, kids, church, boating, biking, and scouts. Wayne loved spending time on the lake with his family and shared many pictures.  I am sorry for the loss of Wayne. Wayne was a good man and was called home sooner than we expected or wanted.

So sorry for your loss. Keeping your family in our prayers. May God continue to Bless you and your family. Jo Harris and Charlotte Beets

As a little kid, just about nothing was more exciting to me than the fact that I knew TWO members of the pride of the southland band. We would line the street every Saturday as the band made their journey to Neyland Stadium, yelling for Katie and Wayne as they passed our spot. The band is serious business and they could never really acknowledge our presence but we  would get a little side eye and extra smile from Katie and Wayne would without fail shoot us a wink. Although I was only 7 or 8 years old, this memory has remained strong for me and will continue to be remembered fondly in the future, as each time I think of Wayne I will think of this and smile. 

I can’t express the sadness and heartbreak I feel for Wayne’s family and friends. The Ryan family have you all on our hearts and minds and in our prayers.

I am heartbroken by the loss of Wayne. I had the privilege of working very closely to Wayne for 8 years, nearly 6 of those being in gas supply. Due to the nature of gas supply, we spent many evenings, weekends, & holidays having to check in with one another and had lots of windshield time over many trips. And in the course of that Wayne became a dear friend to me. 

Wayne was always encouraging me in life and in work. I always loved hearing his stories about his family and he made it very known that Katie, Payton, & Norris were the light of his life! I am also so thankful for the many conversations we had about our faith in the Lord. 

Wayne was such a joy to be around. He always had a smile on his face at work, always had a bad-dad joke up his sleeve, and was the office prankster. Every time my computer doesn't work, I'm still going to think it was you, Wayne! Wayne was also always willing to drop anything to help someone and was one of the most caring people I have ever met.

I am going to miss my weekly boat listings that I can't afford, your Blackstone recommendations, and your frequent disappointments/teasings when I don't know the movie quote. I am  a better person because I knew Wayne, and I'm truly going to miss my friend.

Katie, Payton, Norris, Leo, Richard and the rest of Wayne's family, I am heartbroken for you and I am so, so deeply sorry for your loss. I will be holding you all close to my heart and covering you in prayers in the days to come. I am thankful to know Wayne is in the presence of the Lord and that all of those who believe in God will see him again in heaven, one day!

We are so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers. 
With deepest sympathy,
Michael, Kim and Noah(Cub scout) Harris

Praying for your family in this difficult time.I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank God for Heaven, His promise that we will meet again, and people like Wayne that we have the privilege of knowing on earth.  Wayne was a great person to work with - super smart, easy to talk to, and always willing to help.  Praying peace and comfort for his family.

We were so saddened to hear of the Wayne’s passing. We are so sorry for your loss.  My daughter Artemis was a member of his scout troop this year with Norris, and she really enjoyed the time that she spent with him in the troop. My husband and I really appreciated the encouragement and prodding that he gave to her to achieve scout goals, even when she was reluctant to do so. I enjoyed talking with him on scout hikes and activities as well. We are thankful for the work and dedication that he put in supporting all the scouts and could really see the love and support he had for his son as well. He will be missed. Your family will be in our prayers.

I worked with Wayne at KUB for many years.  He was an awesome person to work with.  I am heartbroken about him passing away.  He will definitely be missed by everyone that knew him.

Katie and boys ~ praying that God will give you grace and comfort during the coming week.  Praying for God’s protection throughout your lives.

Wayne was one of the first people I met when I started working at KUB in 2004; from the beginning, he always made it a point to touch base with me every time we crossed paths until I left in 2022.  Beyond work, he always asked how my wife and kids were doing and reached out to offer encouragement when I was going through a hard time; he was a great co-worker and an even better person, he will be missed. Rest in peace, my friend.

Leo & Richard, so, so, sorry for your loss!  This doesn’t seem possible!  Gale & I will keep you and the family in our thoughts & prayers!

Pat & Gale Pidkowicz

My heart is broken. Every member of his family are and will be in my prayers. A wonderful father and a kind person, he will be greatly missed! Payton, Norris and Katie, I will always be grateful that I was blessed to know your family.
                        Miss Becky

Our love and prayers are with you. Wayne was a loving father and husband and always had a smile on his face. 
   He will be missed by many.
