Wayne worked many construction jobs digging tunnels, subways, storm drains and water tunnels. Wino and his family traveled from State to State with the job.
Wayne was a gifted mechanic. He loved working on his trucks and helping others. He could re-build motors faster and better than anyone.
Wayne liked to tease Janie and Burn backward “J’s” for her. He liked so many things. Almost anything outdoors, mud bogging his Chev trucks, going 4 wheeling on the mountain just to see how far he could go without getting stuck.
Wayne loved to hunt and fish. He liked riding on the mountain looking for deer. He liked horse shoes and shooting his guns. Most of all Wayne liked helping his friends and family. He was always the first one to help someone.
Wayne is survived by his son Shannon Wayne Sweat of Fruitland, daughter Kristina (Mike) Lamb of St. George, son Shawn Sweat of Myton, Daughter Stephanie (Garrick) Murdock of Roosevelt and his 9 grandchildren. Also survived by his companion of 40 years Janie Sweat of Rock Springs, Wy.
