He grew up in a family that taught him strength, humility, and the value of deep familial bonds. Wayne was predeceased by his father, Gene Sutton Sr., and his siblings Richard Kilgore, Gene Sutton Jr., and Sherry Kilgore, all of whom he held close in his heart. Wayne’s journey through life was enriched by his loving wife, Angela Vetrone Sutton. Together, they found peace, happiness, and a shared faith in God, creating a beautiful life with his two stepsons, Cody and Jay (Waisner). Wayne’s love for Angela and the boys was profound and unwavering, and they cherished him dearly. A proud alumnus of Berkeley Senior High School, Wayne’s career path led him to a fulfilling role as a mover with Allied. His work was a testament to his strength and commitment, qualities that inspired those around him. Wayne was a man of many interests and passions. As a child, he loved to swim, play baseball, and football, excelling in swimming with numerous first-place blue ribbons to his name. These activities brought him joy and were a reflection of his spirited and adventurous nature. Wayne shared his faith and devotion with Angela at Prices Branch Christian Church in Wright City, Missouri. His faith was a cornerstone of his life, providing him with peace and guiding him through both joyful and challenging times. He leaves behind his mother Ida Pearl Sutton and family who adored him, including his sisters, Melinda Sutton and Lisa Dulaney Sutton; his brother, Tyronne Sutton; his half-sisters, Monica and Vickie Sutton; and his half-brother, Dana Sutton.
