Wayne was born on June 22, 1957 in Moline, the son of Jack and Vivian Boecher Gramenz. His step-father Ronald Lee Loeffler was a huge part of Wayne’s life as well. He first worked at ACE Muffler Clinic for 19 years, and then went on to own his own auto repair business, WO Automotive. He then worked as an auto mechanic at Shawn’s Auto Service for 10 years. Wayne was an avid member at Calvary Church and loved fishing with his church friends. But most of all, Wayne’s two passions in his life were working on cars with his son, and spending time with his grandchildren.

Survivors include his son Brian (Sarah) Gramenz, Moline; grandchildren, Addison and Zoey; siblings, Terri Dodd, Aledo, IL, Rhona Loeffer Mosley, Texas; nieces, Sherae, Tiffany, and Aubrey; nephew, Kevin; and step-sons, Chris, Alex, and Tony.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sister, Dawn McComb, and nephew Jason.
