Wayne was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on December 11, 1947. He passed from this earth at his residence in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma on July 19, 2024. Wayne served as a staff sergeant in Vietnam from 1970 - 1971. He was married to his soulmate, Bobbie Lee Haas for 56 years until Bobbie’s passing. He worked as an electrician for many years until his eventual retirement. Wayne was a proud member of the IBEW International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
Bobbie and Wayne were blessed with three daughters: Ange Adkins-Gilbert, Jennifer Atwell, and Amy Haas. Moreover, Wayne was a grandpa to six grandkids and one great-grandson. He loved football, especially the Oklahoma Sooners! He and Bobbie would spend their Sunday evenings picking their NFL teams for the following week, and somehow Bobbie always picked more winners than Wayne! He loved to golf in his free time and never missed playing the Power Ball! He also loved to play a game called Gummy Drop on his tablet. This may sound crazy, but Wayne kept a 10-year streak on that game, never missed a day. Sometimes his grand-sons, Jared and Jacob helped him, but they always played each day.
It would be very difficult to find a person who had anything negative to say about Wayne. He was a great husband, father, grandpa, and friend. He gave all the kids and grandkids advice when needed. He was incredibly generous (he never told a grandchild “No”). He absolutely loved being a grandpa; he was so happy when the girls were having boys, but after 4 grandsons, he asked if maybe we could have some girls! He got his wish and Ange and Amy both had baby-girls. Wayne was quiet with a gentle soul, but he still had a very strong presence about him.
Fly high dad, I know you’re back with mom and happier than ever.
Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur Haas, and Norene Haas; his loving wife, Bobbie Haas; his daughters, Amy Haas, and Ange Haas; his grandsons, Jared Haas-Upky, and Jacob Haas; and his sister, Linda Davenport. He is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Joy Atwell, and husband Shawn Atwell; his grandchildren: Hunter Adkins, Carter Atwell, Cheyenne Adkins, and Jenna Haas; as well as his great grandson, Laith Owen Adkins; his brother, Larry Vee Haas and many other family members and friends that will miss him deeply.
