I can hear Wayne saying to me, “ live your life my girl and no watch no face.” Among other motivational sentiments, he personified strength, determination and grit. When he was preparing for his purposeful move to Texas, man was he adamant! He said to me, “make sure you come and visit me”… Sadly, I never did make it there to visit him. In fact, Wayne called me on my Birthday last year and we talked about so many things but what stood out the most is that, I told him that I would visit him this summer to see what Austin was all about. He said, “Come! come mon, you are welcome any time, you’ve been in Delaware way too long”… as we laughed and laughed… That was Wayne’s true and authentic self… I have so many fond memories of Wayne…. We shared the love of music especially Dancehall and Culture Reggae. In so many ways, Wayne was like a big brother to me because he always looked out for me and supported me in my business journey. It’s safe to say that Wayne was one of my biggest cheerleaders. I would share with Wayne, some things in confidence and he was never timid about what he thought even if I didn’t like the response… but of course, this is what a big brother is suppose to do right? Another fond memory of Wayne is the way he carried himself. An amazing gentleman he was; in his demeanor, style, dapperness, and most importantly, his love for his family. He was a high achiever and his tenacity exemplified his character to the extent of what he wants for his two amazing children who he was extremely proud of. I can go on and on but lastly, Wayne always loved to look good and his self respect was far reaching among his friends and colleagues. Wayne was a force and his memories will live on in those who was blessed to have know who is was. Rest in perfect peace Wayne!
Times like this reminds us all to live purposefully, much like Wayne did❤️
