Wayne Eugene Sunderhuse

Papoo, I miss you so much. I will miss looking into the stands and seeing your familiar face smiling back at me at every one of my games. Knowing you were there, supporting me, cheering me on, and believing in me meant more than you will ever know. Every time I step onto the field or court now, I carry that love with me.

I also miss our times together playing 31 — the laughter, the friendly competition (and, you constantly cheating and taking my money lol) and just being able to sit with you and share those moments. Those memories are ones I will hold close to my heart forever.

You weren’t just my Papoo, you were one of my biggest supporters, my partner in cards, and someone I looked up to so much. I will always love you and cherish you for the rest of my life.
Love Your Great Grandson- Braygen

I am sorry to hear about Wayne. Sending prayers to his family.

Missing you hurts in a way words can barely touch. ??

There are days I still reach for the phone just to tell you something, days I swear I can hear your laugh, and moments when the quiet feels too loud without you in it. You weren’t just a grandfather — you were safety, strength, wisdom, and so much love wrapped into one.
I miss your stories, your hugs, your presence, and the way you made everything feel okay just by being there. Braygen will miss you being around at all his football and basketball games along with his track and field events. The world feels different without you, but my heart and Braygen’s heart will carry you forever. We love you more than we could ever say, and we miss you more than we ever imagined. Until we see you again, Papoo.??? ??
