Thailand was blessed to have Brother Wayne share the LOVE OF JESUS with all of us...whether he could speak with words...or not...He was always able to communicate with LOVE...everyone that knew him here LOVED HIM!!! We loved his fun loving spirit...his guitar playing...his songs....his joy...and much more....Whether you spoke Thai or English...you understood Brother Wayne. All nations can understand the language of love and joy and everyone understands smiling and laughing. He made everyone feel loved and cared about. I am excited to know that we will meet again on the beautiful shores...in the sweet by and by...but I am very blessed to have met him here on Earth. The sweet memories of Brother Wayne will live forever.
Love to Miss Linda, Curt. Pui, and the rest of the family...love Jahnet Sims

I am saddened to hear of Wayne's passing. He and I used to sing and play guitar together back in our high school days. He was one of the good guys.

I guess you could say I grew up knowing the Mathis family- even had Kim student teach my English class in high school. When I got married, Bro Mathis was the first one to make my new husband feel welcome-he still talks about how he always went out of his way to talk to him and how nice he was. We are so sorry to hear he had passed but know he couldn't be in a better place.
Love and prayers for his sweet family,
Keith and Kristy Johnson
Linda,
We are so sorry to hear about Wayne's passing. Wayne was such a funny guy , every time he came into the shop he always has a funny joke to tell and we would all stop what we were doing to listen and share a laugh. The world needs more "waynes" today. My wife and I shared a laugh the other day of Wayne's doing, you see on one of yalls trips back from Thailand he brought me a wooden elephant head , I hung it over the door in my office, its a nice conversation piece. Now that being said in the last few years Stacy and I have been blessed with our third child (we only planned on having two) the funny part here is recently I found out that that wooden elephant head is apparently a symbol for the god of fertility in the Thai culture. So everytime i look at that head I think of Wayne and chuckle a little inside!!!! even in his passing that guy is still making me smile.
Sincerly,
Mike Stacy & all the guys at Big 5 Tire
May you be comforted by loving memories. Our deepest Sympathy, Bobby & Kathy Allen
