    I was deeply saddened to hear of Wayne’s death. He helped organize the Sigma Chi Mother’s Club when our son was a member. What a fun organization to be a part of! Later, in 2017, Wayne came to Mt. Vernon and hosted the White Rose Ceremony upon the untimely death of our son, Cole Barker. I knew Cole was in good hands when I first met Wayne in Waco. A true prince of a man. He was amazing. I’m so happy I got to know him. Bless you dear friend.

    Wayne you will be so missed! Having read all of the tributes to you, it is obvious how many lives you touched. You packed a lot of livin’ in your years! It’s been a couple of decades now since I last saw you. My memories of you are consistent though — you were always kind, humble, quick to listen and slow to speak, and always genuine and kind. You have been consistent since we first met in elementary school — always the same Wayne in terms of your character. When most school kids can be immature, pick on one another, etc., you were always who I knew you to be as an adult — the good guy. I know Wayne is in a far better place, but also know he will be missed by so many. I love you Wayne and am blessed for having known you!

    In His Love,

    Meeting Wayne was like meeting a celebrity who became a friend. He was international president of Sigma Chi when I joined and we then met several years later. He always remembered me and would always talk highly of everyone around him. A true Texan, he loved BBQ and his southern roots. It is our loss and Heaven’s gain.
