Going duck hunting with you, mark, Kade, and Colton. It was defiantly a rough morning, but the whole walk out, Waylon kept us on our toes makin each of us laugh till we couldn’t breathe, and always making a good time out of the worsts. We may have only got 2 ducks, and sat in the blind during the rain storm, but it will be a duck hunt I will never forget, and it was completely worth it.

Praying for all of you, Waylon was one of my closest friends, someone I could always talk to about things, he stood up for me always and I did the same, he’s gone too soon, & will surely be missed.
Carly Porter December 18, 2018
Waylon, I can describe how i feel about your passing. I've known you since you were a little boy! You were always so full of life and smiles! You always kept me laughing that's for sure. I wish things didn't happen the way they did. And i know your family is hurting without you. I wish i could turn back time for you and your family and make it where you was still here with them. I just talked to you a few weeks ago. Keep watching over your family . its only goodbye for a little while. Fly high and free!
Catherine Richard December 18, 2018
