Mr. Weiss was born December 1, 1923 to Fred and Esther (Kruse) Weiss in Boelus, Nebraska.
He attended school and graduated from Boelus High School.
He entered the United States Army on May 21, 1945 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He was honorably discharged December 27, 1946 at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
After he returned home to Boelus from the military, he began farming as a dairy farmer.
He was united in marriage to Alice Duncan on May 26, 1948. To this union two sons were born.
Wayne bought the family farm near Boelus and raised cattle and crops. He loved his work and was a lifelong farmer.
He retired from farming, but still came to the farm every day to help.
Wayne was a member of the First Baptist Church in Dannebrog and a member of the Schipman-Mogensen American Legion Post #201 of Boelus and a member of The Gideon's International.
He had the best mechanical skills and could just about fix anything. When he got some time off from work, he enjoyed fixing cars, singing and playing music on the violin, dulcimer and the guitar. He always had a love for animals especially dogs and cats. He loved his work on the farm and was known by many for his hard work.
