Wayne Roy Van Hollebeke passed away on April 26, 2018 at his home in Umatilla at the age of 46.
He was born on Nov. 26, 1971 in Kennewick, Wash. to Roy and Mary Lou Cory Van Hollebeke.
Wayne lived in the Tri-Cities during his early childhood until moving to Anchorage, Alaska in the early 1980s. He graduated from Anchorage High School in the class of 1989. After high school, he traveled extensively and lived in many locations. He continued his education at a school in Denver, Colo., where he received his ASC diesel mechanic certification. He had lived in Umatilla and enjoyed his work as a millwright at Lamb Weston in Boardman for the past five years.
Wayne was an avid motorcycle enthusiast (especially Harley Davidsons) who loved to ride, work on and build them. He was an excellent mechanic who could repair most anything he put his mind to.
He is survived by his father, Roy Van Hollebeke; mother, Judy Grimes; fiancé, Becky Leaf; sister, Earlene Berry; brothers, Mark Lee Van Hollebeke, Brian Pereault and Eric Pereault; and many nieces and nephews and extended family members.
A celebration of life service will be announced at a later time.
