Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 9, 2015 Root Admin Posted May 9, 2015 Wayne SW/MO passed away on April 25th. George Wayne Kirtley lived in Rockaway Beach, Missouri and had been a member since the forum's creation. I didn't know Wayne well but he did fish a few of our trout tournaments over the years. His posts will be missed.
J-Doc Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Very sad to hear this. This forum is more than just a "forum" to me. It's a network of fishing buddies and fellas that I talk to frequently. A fishing family. This forum has truely lost someone. Rest in peace sir. Clay Goforth and ness 2 Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!
Mitch f Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 OMGoodness, so sorry to hear! I always loved Wayne's posts. Even though I never met him, I always felt a kinship with Wayne. God Bless him and his family! MOsmallies 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor

Ham Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I hate to hear that. I thought of Wayne about a month ago. I checked and saw he had been active on the forum the day before. I forgot to follow up with him. Wayne and I fished together on War Eagle and on the King's. We had a mini Rodeo. Wayne, me, and Ozark Stream Hawk. We tent camped at the outfitter at Trigger Gap. It was a good time. Wayne was a good guy with a full lifetime of experiences. Rest In Peace. God Bless his family. Clay Goforth 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
dtrs5kprs Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Definitely a loss. Trust that God will comfort and keep his family at this time.
Flysmallie Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I met Wayne here and he was a great guy. I didn't get to spend a lot of time on the river with him but had many conversations and heard lots of great stories. He was one of the great ones. I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace Wayne. Love you man. ness 1
