Waymann passed away on May 31, 2016. He was born on December 4, 1933 in Norris, SD.
The life of a cowboy, Waymann, began on December 4, 1933 in a sod house about 7 miles north of Vetal, SD. He was the only child born to Fred and Zola (Grass) Wild. His youth was spent ranching alongside his folks, learning and loving the cowboy way of life, near Slim Buttes on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Upon graduating from Chadron Prep in 1952, he asked for his 16-year-old sweetheart’s hand in marriage. In July of the same year, Waymann and Helen (Laue) were wed, and remained by one another’s side for 63 years until Helen’s death in July 2015. To this union were born two sons, Jess and Dan, and daughter Molly.
Waymann wore many hats over his lifetime: commercial pilot, county commissioner, and real estate broker; but the one he was most proud of was being a rancher. He was always there if a neighbor needed an emergency C-section during calving season or to take out a cancer eye. Whether it was feeding, fixing, or chasing a cow down, Waymann was the definition of a “top hand.”
The best years of his life were spent raising cain, cattle, and his kids on the home place at Slim Buttes.
He was preceded in death by parents, Fred and Zola, and wife, Helen.
Immediate Survivors:
Daughter: Molly and husband John Hahn of Chadron, NE. Sons: Dan and wife, Millie Wild; Jess and wife, Dee Wild of Chadron, NE. 11 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild on the way. Chamberlain Chapel of Chadron is in charge of arrangements.
