Wayne Allen Stone, loving husband, father, brother, son, uncle and friend passed away suddenly on Monday, August 12, 2013, at the age of 51. Wayne will be remembered for his huge heart, love for his family, and service to his community. Born on November 15, 1961 in Northampton, Massachusetts, to Gail and Peter Stone, Sr., Wayne grew up and went to school in Cape Cod before moving to Texas to attend Houston Baptist University where he met the love of his life, Robyn Muckelroy. They married on December 13, 1986, and have four children, Anne, Mandy, Alyssa, and Zach.
He graduated from HBU in Houston, TX, and was a member of ATO fraternity. Wayne was known in his real estate career as "Your Rock Solid Choice in Real Estate"; he was recognized as a Fort Bend top real estate producer. For the past 5 years he volunteered by delivering meals every Tuesday for Meals on Wheels. Wayne enjoyed golfing and hanging out by the pool. He also loved the beach, where building sand castles with the kids was his favorite thing to do. Wayne's ultimate date night was with Robyn at P. F. Chang's. He loved fireworks and put on huge displays for family and friends for the 4th of July and New Years Eve. He always looked forward to Robyn's homemade pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, when the family would always get together before Thanksgiving dinner for an annual football game. Wayne loved family time during the holidays, and Christmas was his favorite time of the year. He was known to stand out with all of his bright t-shirts. He loved peanuts, and always left the shells behind. He was so proud of his home and his family, and he took pride in his work. Wayne loved his music, which was such a huge passion of his life. A visit to the Stone house was always upbeat with Wayne's playlist piped through all the speakers, indoors and out.
