Yesterday, we lost the patriarch of our family. Howard Wayne Kemper passed away at the age of 79, with his family by his side. Wayne, as he preferred being called, was a truck driver and diesel mechanic.
There wasn’t anything Wayne couldn’t drive or fix. He played an important behind the scenes part with Xtreme Diesel, often thinking through those more challenging repairs. He was the one man think tank, often pondering how to go about fixing equipment that just didn’t want to cooperate. He got the better of most of the gear that thought it had seen it’s last days, as his solutions would often get it up and running one more time.
Wayne loved his family and the grand children they provided him. He enjoyed conversing about trucks, trucking and how to keep them maintained. He will be greatly missed by his family and all that knew him.
We will post more concerning the services, once that information becomes available.
