J Johnson says
My sincere condolences to the family of Wayne Allen Tall Bull – May you find comfort in your loving memories, great pictures and in recalling the many talents of Mr. Tall Bull. It was not the Creator’s purpose that mankind suffer and die and has promised that a time will come when no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). We are promised the resurrection of loved ones we have lost (John 5:28, 29). Our loving Creator has promised an end to pain and death. (Revelation 21:4). The promise of Paradise, the perfect conditions God originally intended for mankind in the Garden of Eden, will be fulfilled including God’s “will being done as in Heaven also upon Earth” (Matthew 6:9, 10). Please be comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).

Devin Richey says
My name is Devin K. Richey I was born 5/17/89 wayne is my father. I have no memory of him because he was never there. My mother went on to kill herself from the stress or mental illness. I’m glad so many of you had good times with him. Thanks so much for ignoring me in till it was too late. I never had a chance to tell you so many thing and also you ran away from your child. How can any of you say he was or is a good person.
