He was a member of the Amarillo Firefighters Association and also served with the Firefighters annual Fill the Boot campaign to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. He was honored with the Firefighter of the Year award in 2008. His girls were his world, and he loved his fellow firefighters. When he wasn't working, Wayne's favorite times were spent with his family and fishing with his friends. He will be remembered as an amazing dad, the best PaPa, and a faithful friend.
