It’s so hard to believe that yesterday marks 6 years since you left us. Christmas time will always be a reminder if your departure. I will never ever forget that sad terrifying day.

I know you and mom ,daddy and Our sister are celebrating Christmas together not mention more family. Continue to look down on us my brother. You are deeply missed.

Dear Wayne, this time of year hurts very much when I think of all of the loved ones I have lost. I am comforted in knowing that you are reunited with your Mother and Father, Al and my Mom, who all loved you so dearly. I miss talking to you and wish we had had more time together. Merry heavenly Christmas, all my love, Karen

Dearest Wayne, All I can do is light a candle in honor of you for Christmas this year. It's still unbelievable that you are no longer here with us. I'm certain that your family feels the pain of your loss every December and will have that empty place in their hearts during the season. I miss you so much... you and Momma. I hope you were there to greet her when she arrived 2 years ago. She was so broken hearted when she learned you had passed away. So, with Christmas here agin, I feel such a sense of loss for you both. zmy heart, my love...to you always <3

I can't believe it has been a year since Wayne's passing. I know this has been especially hard for Betty and Deana. Love you all and hope you can still find a bright spot during Christmas, with memories of Christmas with Wayne from Christmas's past.

Love, Janet, Meredith, and Tony

Not sure what to say. He was so funny . Wish more people would share stories, like the time he and others buried B.J's surfboard in the sand.  Would love to hear more about how he and others changed the words of songs while working in the kitchen at the original White Point Restaurant. What a man. What a loss

Someone once said it is not what you say or what you do but how you make people feel. Somewhere there is a picture of Wayne and Doug in our apartment on Madison. I have always had that picture of Wayne in my mind. He was smiling and I could feel that joy. I felt that joy once again when he asked me to be a facebook friend. My heart smiled. Thank you, Wayne for your thoughtfulness and generous spirit. I wish you could have been with us longer.

Such a loss. The world has a shortage of truly, genuinely good-hearted souls...now we are short one more. I never, ever heard anyone say a bad word about him. Rest in peace Wayne...

Wayne leaves me with special memories we shared throughout childhood. He was my "Uncle", though younger than myself. My Grandfather Al Hegler married Waynes Mother, Betty in 1977. I am so sad to hear of his passing and my thoughts go out to Betty, Deana, Timmy, Randy and their families. I love and miss you all and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for comfort.

I have known Wayne for 25 plus years. We went to school together and also his sister was married to my brother. I last saw Wayne this past summer at our great-nephew's 1st birthday party and he and I talked about how he wanted to move back home to be closer to his family and how he just missed it here at the beach. I will miss him dearly and will never forget our last conversation we had and how we laughed together at the little kids. My heart goes out to Betty, Deana, Joey, Jonathan, and the rest of the family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I grew up in NMB and have known Wayne most of my life. We were good friends in HS, then became roommates, while I was in college 1992-1996 at Coastal. Wayne has always been a great friend. He was loyal, stood up for his friends, and was always someone a friend could count on. He was honest, truthful, and passionate about life. He was always there when a friend needed a helping hand or just an ear to listen to his/her troubles. Wayne loved his friends and his family. We often spoke of his mother. He loved his mother like a son should and wanted to be nearer to her. I will miss Wayne more than I can put to words. He was one of the few friends from my childhood that I truly considered a brother. We surfed together, laughed together, celebrated life together, and found common ground in our love of sports. Wayne had challenges in life he at times struggled with, but always seemed to find a way to conquer them. It was my sincerest wish that Wayne find happiness, love and peace in life. I know he is at peace now. Rest my weary friend I hope heaven for you is set waves on the horizon, chest high glass, with a slight offshore breeze on a warm summer day. Say hello to Michael for us all.

Meredith, Tony, and I were all so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. He was a wonderful person who we will all miss very much. After Daddy and Betty were married in 1977, Wayne was the little brother that I never had. He is now in God's loving care. We love you, Wayne. Our prayers go out to Betty, Deana, Randy, Timmy, and their families. Sorry that I will not be able to be there for the funeral. Having car trouble and don't have a way. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh my! What a shock. Thoughts and prayers are with the family on the passing of Wayne. Hope the family can take comfort knowing that Wayne is resting in peace in God's Loving Care.  Maybe he's with RD & Wanda now. In behalf of my entire family (Fred Sr, Bobbie Morris, Lee, Nancy, Hope, Debbie, Page, Ben, etc.), our most sincere condolences are sent to Betty, Tim, Edith Ann, Randy, Deana & all the rest of the family. God bless you all.

From my Mother, Cecelia Hegler McDonald (who has no internet access)
On January 29th, 1977 my father, Al Hegler married Betty Phillips. Wayne then became my 5 yr old baby brother. My heart breaks for the loss of him. I have beautiful memories of Wayne throughout the years of Wayne surfing, playing with "Panda", hanging out with my Daddy, loving his Mother. Wayne was a beautiful person. He enjoyed life, he enjoyed his friends and family, he loved his nephews and nieces very much. He was always so very sweet and easy-going person who loved going out and having fun. He is now resting in God's hand with his precious "Panda", he will always be loved and is dearly missed.

As I sit here and look at this page with all your friends sharing the good times with you. I know how much you were loved by everyone. I sit here and cry and my heart is torn apart the tears are flowing as I write only because I love you so much and I miss you so much. Sometimes I think, how can I go on without you, you were the brother that no girl had , you were always there for me good or bad. We were like bestfriends, you were my buddy from birth. We have always had eachothers back for everything. Sometimes I pick up the phone and just call your number but I know your not there. I know that God will give me the courage to go on but I will tell you its going to be hard without you here. I know you lived away you were not here all the time as much as we wanted you to be and when you were here we were always together but when you werent here you were only a phone call away I called you everyday or you called me just to check in and say I love you and miss you. It so hard to say goodbye for now I never thought I would have to say goodbye to you so soon. I do thank God we had one more Christmas together before he took you. I will close for now, but I love you so much and I know you are reading this right now and I can here you saying Deana, its ok Im happy now I will see you again soon. I love you sis! So this is for you my little brother, I love you always and you smile and be happy because now your Gods Angel. I love you
