Wayne was born December 25,1942 in Storm Lake, lowa. He was the son of Dick and Bea Linden. Dick was Wayne's step-dad but Wayne was so proud to say, "This is my Dad."  He graduated from high school in Early, lowa in 1960.  He proudly served in the Army in Vietnam from 1964 to 1968.

On August 14,1971 he married Jelane Sadler, daughter of Ralph and Theo Sadler at Rock Branch Church. They lived in Ames lowa, and then made their home in South Sioux City, Nebraska where they were blessed with three children.  He worked for Isemans, Braungers, Boyer Valley, and Conagra.  He was a member of St. Paul Methodist Church and active with the Veterans.

Spending time with his family was very important to him. He enjoyed camping, fishing, going to his grandchildren’s activities, playing cards, and listening to Gospel music. He was always smiling and ready to give a helping hand.
