Wayne Warner, a devoted family man and highly regarded professional in electric motor repair, passed away peacefully on January 30, 2025, in Elsmere, Kentucky. Born in Covington on April 12, 1950, Wayne's life was characterized by kindness, simplicity, and a deep commitment to his loved ones.

He is survived by his daughters Karen (Ken) Sparks, Tammy (Wayne) Wagner, Tina (Brian) Beach; son Michael (Shannon) Warner; grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a host of family and friends who will miss his gentle spirit and unwavering support.

Known for finding joy in cheering for UK basketball and attending river dancing shows, Wayne took pride in supporting his family's pursuits. Preceded in death by his wife Connie Jean Warner, parents Fred and Georgiana Warner, and sister Linda Sharp, Wayne leaves a legacy of kindness and love.
