Mr. Waylan was always so kind to my family whenever we needed him to help us with our house over the past 5 years. I was shocked to hear about his passing. He was a true professional and a kind, decent, hard-working man. My family’s prayers are with his during this unexpected painful time.

Carol and all the family, We were so shocked to read the paper today and learn of Waylon’s passing. So sorry we did not know in time to come and pay our respects to all the family in person. You are in our prayers. I have known Waylon since we were teenagers (forever). He was a special person and I am sure a very special brother, husband, father, and uncle. Love, Ronnie and Eloise
