Wayne was born on July 24, 1938, in Moorhead, MN. He was the fourth of six children to Marvin and Emma Hervey. 

After graduating from Moorhead High School in 1957, he enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve and later served in the Merchant Marines. He was an outstanding marksman, earning several awards for these abilities. His training also fostered a love for deep-sea diving, and he carried that passion through much of his adult life. 

In his later years, Wayne cared for the neighborhood cats, providing them with food, shelter and love. Wayne also loved reading; he had a variety of books. He enjoyed hunting and fishing with his dad and the VanRaden’s. 

He is survived by his son, Russell VanRaden (Fargo) and family; sisters, Myrna Sacrison (Fargo), Marlene Franke (Vancouver, WA), Laurel Horning (Bismarck); and several nieces and nephews. 

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Warren and Jerome Hervey; in addition to his nephews, Dean and Alan Hervey.
