February 23, 1923 - March 22, 2009

Wayne R. Millhollin, 86, passed on March 22 due to complications of heart failure.
Wayne was born to Charles and Edna Millhollin on February 23, 1923. After enlisting in the Navy, he graduated from Naval Air Training in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1944 and served his country as a Navy pilot. While attending Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa he married and moved to Corning, Iowa in 1946. He owned and operated the Oldsmobile-Studebaker dealership before making his home in Hastings in l961.
Soon after moving to Nebraska, Wayne became an independent State Farm Insurance Agent. He was well known for not only his outstanding customer service, but his ability to turn customers into life time friends. When he retired, he worked at Hastings Keno where he established many more valuable friendships with both customers and co-workers. Wayne always made everyone he met feel special. He always found the good in everyone and made each one aware of just how important they were in his life.
Throughout his life, his children and grandchildren remained his primary focus. He left behind a legacy of love and laughter; one that can never be replaced. He was a giving and thoughtful father, grandfather and friend who never talked about the many things he did for others.

Wayne is survived by son Jeff Millhollin (Rhonda Strayer) of Corning, Iowa, daughter Kimberly Shursen of Des Moines, Iowa, grandchildren Andy Damrow (Sara) of Seoul, Korea, Adrienne Siemers (Tommy) of Nashville, Tennessee, Matthew Millhollin (Rosa) of Encinitas, California, Anthony and Adam Damrow of Des Moines, Iowa, and great-grandchildren Cody and Bryce Damrow of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
