Robert Wayne Galloway, known to all as Wayne, 53, of Wichita, Kansas passed away unexpectedly on August 24, 2026.

Born May 25, 1973, in Wichita, Wayne spent most of his life in the community he called home. He was a larger-than-life man whose presence could light up any room he walked into. Wayne had a gift for making people feel welcome, valued, and like they belonged. He was genuine to his core, and those that knew him knew they could count on him.

Wayne was a one of a kind man who was always willing to lend a hand. If someone was in need, he was there. He gave freely of himself and had a way of touching the lives of the people around him without ever asking for anything in return.

Wayne was deeply loved by his family. He is survived by his wife, Ashley and her two sons Cooper Randleas (Kelsey) and Ethan Randleas, whom Wayne loved every bit as his own. He is also survived by his mother, Jan Galloway and sister, Heidi Garrard. Wayne was preceded in death by his father, Charlie Galloway and brother, Nick Galloway.

Wayne was beloved by his coworkers at Dynamic NC, where he was known not only for his work, but for the person he was. The friendships and connections he made throughout his life were a reflection of the kind of man he was – someone who left an impression wherever he went.

There are some people who simply make the world brighter by being in it. Wayne was one of those people. He loved deeply, gave generously, and lived in a way that made people feel better for having known him.

Wayne loved “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd, and in many ways, the song described him perfectly. He was a simple man with so much to offer everyone whose life he touched. His life may have ended unexpectedly, but the love, laughter, kindness, and memories he gave to others will remain.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved by his family, friends, coworkers, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Memorial Service will be 10:00 am, Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at Downing & Lahey West Mortuary.

  5. Wayne was truly one of those special people who could light up a room the moment he walked in. He never knew a stranger, and his warmth, humor, and kindness had a way of making everyone around him feel welcome. No matter how bad of a day you were having, Wayne could always find a way to put a smile on your face.

    We have so many wonderful memories of spending time and sharing dinners with Wayne and Ashley—memories that we will always cherish. His presence brought so much laughter and joy, and his absence will be felt more than words can express.

    The world simply won’t be the same without Wayne in it. He was truly one of a kind, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have known him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered. ❤️
