Wayne Archie Turner, 70 passed away Sept. 11, 2015 at home and surrounded by family after bravely battling cancer.
Wayne was born April 4, 1945 in Boise, ID to Archie and Una Turner. He was the second of four children.
After returning from boot camp, Wayne married Vienna Louise Van Hook November 27, 1965 who he met on a summer camping trip at one of his favorite places, Deadwood Reservoir. Wayne and Vienna had two children, Wade and Shelly, both bringing extraordinary happiness and sadness as both children passed away shortly after birth. Love eventually came to Wayne and Vienna in their adoptive daughter, Bryana Sue. Though the marriage did not last, Wayne and Vienna remained friends.
Wayne later met and married his second wife, PJ—Patricia Kaye Parr, on March 6, 1982. They lived nine years together with PJ’s daughter, Jodi Stocker.
Wayne made many good friends during his lifetime, but Rick Christopher and Lori Hines have been dubbed honorary family members and were a big part of Wayne’s life.
