Wayne Delvin Schwartman, 78, passed away on December 25, 2025. Wayne was born on May 23, 1947, in Nebraska to Henry and Drusella Schwartman. He grew up with values of hard work and resilience that shaped the course of his life. In 1967, he joined the United States Army and served as an enlisted medical assistant at Fort Bragg. In September 1969, he joined the Sheet Metal Workers Union, where he remained a dedicated member throughout his life.
Wayne had a passion for collecting Budweiser memorabilia and a wide range of collectibles, taking pride in the pieces he gathered over the years. He also enjoyed attending World of Outlaws races, rarely missing an opportunity to follow the circuit and keep up with his favorite drivers and events. He also spent time fishing with his cousin Gary Wohlers at the Angle in Minnesota, often at Gary’s cabin.
In 1982, he married Sondra Lou Reeve. He retired in 2010 to care for Sondra and remained devoted to her care until her passing. They also shared an enjoyment of attending sprint car races.
