Wayne William Holman's Obituary
WAYNE W. HOLMAN, AGE 85 OF INDEPENDENCE, PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY ON TUESDAY, MAY 20, 2025.

Wayne proudly served his country in the United States Navy and retired from The Illuminating Company/CEI after 25+ years. He was full of bright ideas and loved to tinker with things and build with his hands. He was a master at fixing items around the house in an unusual way, but it always worked and lasted. Above all, Wayne loved his family and friends and was always up for an adventure.
