Wayne was an amazing man who I will miss dearly, such a big loss to this world. 🤍

Ellis family, 

You are in our prayers through this very difficult time.  When y’all arrived In Naperville it was a very nice and welcome surprise. Since your departure, we have thought of you all often, remembering the specific great memories we have of all 5 of you. Stay strong! 

Much love and many prayers,

Marc and Myra Stinson

Heidi and Kids, 

Our hearts are breaking for you today. We love you and praying for God’s special grace during these difficult days.   

Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers daily. I have such fond memories of worshipping with Wayne at Southside. He was an inspiration and a very talented musician. We were blessed to serve under his leadership. I will always remember Heidi singing Revelation Song so beautifully and Wayne beaming with pride. He truly loved his family and Jesus and it showed!  He is dearly loved and will be greatly missed, but forever in our hearts. Love your family dearly and pray God will keep you wrapped in his loving arms.   Priscilla

Sending so much love and wish I could help more. I’m so glad I got the chance to meet him. Keeping the whole family in my prayers and heart during this difficult time ❤️

Wayne was a great worship leader that pushed our abilities and really raised the bar. He also served as a witness at my small wedding ceremony.  He will be deeply missed.
Lorenze & I appreciated Wayne’s humility. He was supportive in some challenging times through his thought processes and reflection. We valued his authenticity. We appreciated his leadership in music, as well. We are so very sorry to hear of his passing, and are praying for the Ellis family & their loved ones. May our prayers, thoughts and support help do what our words cannot. Lorenze & Heidi Shirley-Hawes
He touched many lives and made an impact for the good of the kingdom. He is gone too soon. Though we never spoke in the past several years we thought so much of him and the entire Ellis family. He is loved and will be dearly missed. Condolences to all who loved him. He leaves a lasting impact on all whose lives he touched. You are in our prayers.
