Per request of our good friend Gregg “Digger” Walker (Walker Family Funeral Services) the family of Wayne Emery Stout has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Wayne was born in Los Angeles on May 18, 1924 and entered into Eternal Rest at home in Corona on December 19, 2015.
Wayne grew up in Madera County but the family moved to South Gate where Wayne attended some high school. Many years later in 1989 Wayne received his High School Diploma from Corona High School being the oldest student graduating that year.
Wayne joined the U.S. Navy proudly serving his country during World War II from January 1943 to November 1945. Wayne was a Motor Machinist Mate Second Class (MoMM2C) stationed in the Philippines on PT Base #17.
After his honorable discharge from the Navy, Wayne started his life-long passion as a truck driver following his father and grandfather. Wayne drove trucks until he retired.
Wayne is preceded in death by his wife of forty-two years Wyvaun, his son Don and brother Melvin. Wayne is survived by his partner Susan, three daughters and numerous other family members.
Wayne was baptized a few months prior to his passing after a long illness, he was anxious to be with the Lord. He had a very contagious personality always cracking jokes and making people laugh.
