He received his education in rural Sheldon and graduated from Sheldon High School in 1956. After graduating from high school he started farming with his father. On December 27, 1963, he was united in marriage to Lois Funk in Sibley, Iowa. The young couple made their home on a farm northeast of Sheldon for 2 years, before moving to the family farm in 1965, where Wayne and Lois farmed for 40 years. In 2007, they moved into Sheldon. Wayne passed away on Monday, November 9, 2009 at the Sanford Senior Care in Sheldon, reaching the age of 70 years, 10 months and 7 days.
Wayne was a member of the First Reformed Church in Sheldon, where he served as a deacon and taught Sunday school and catechism. He was also a member of Farm Bureau and a Trustee for Floyd Township. Farming was Wayne’s life, love and his hobby.
