Such fond memories of the SRO days one that comes to mind is there was a all male review there one night and he gave away a limo ride to the show for the winner and some friends but he rigged it and my name was drawn so I won the limo ride. My prayers are with the family during this time cannot be there tonight due to having hip surgery and cannot walk sure wish it could be videoed

Sorry for the loss of your love one. John 5:28, 39 assures us that Jesus will restore life to those who has died. Revelation 21:3, 4 gives further assurances that death will be swallowed up forever. What a wonderful blessing to look forward to knowing that your loved one is in God's memory. Hope this thought brings comfort.

I am so sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. I was a good friend of him when he managed SRO Country. I performed there many times with the Chisel Ridge Bluegrass Band, the Whiskey River Band and the Shotgun Band. I sold western hats and feather bands to Wayne and stocked them in his club. Rest in Peace.

Prayers for his family. Knew Wayne for many years. From dancing to the music he played, to the volley ball games he hosted for select friends. He taught my late husband to DJ when he decided to reopen SRO. Then was a there when my husband Donnie was laid to rest. There will never be another DJ that will be as good as Wayne Wilson. Rest in peace in the arms of the Lord.

Lisa, those volleyball games were fun and intense to say the least. Those are great memories that I hope will be shared tonight during the service. He touched so many lives through his DJ career and I'm thankful you were a part of it.

I am sad and shocked to hear about Wayne's passing. I showed him how to DJ back when they took over SRO. I'll never forget how thankful he was, and years later when I went to any place he was playing, he Always called me up, thanked me and ask me to spin a few. Wayne, play some country up there for the Lord. You'll be missed my friend.
