Wayne E. Whipps, age 74 of Jordan, passed away quietly at his home on February 9, 2022.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, February 19, 2022 from 1-3PM at Ballard-Sunder Funeral Home, 4565 Pleasant Street SE, Prior Lake.
Wayne was a simple man, he believed that if you had a warm coat to wear, a roof over your head and food in your cupboards, that’s all you really needed. He loved the outdoors, was a fisherman and a deer hunter and overall, just loved being outside. He loved animals and had a special spot in his heart for dogs. They knew that when Wayne came over…he came to play.
He learned a trade that was as old as they come in working as a masonry and farmer which was hard and strong work but that reflected in the kind of guy he was. His hands of workmanship show in the fireplaces he built in his own home, the homes of his children and just a few years ago in his granddaughter’s home.
He was a quiet, kind, humble man, devoted to his family. He was our inspiration. Wayne loved his grandchildren immensely – Ashley, Brian and Hayley. He absolutely was their biggest fan at their sporting events. If these kids were sick and their parents needed to go to work….call Grandpa and he would come and sit with them.
Our hearts are sad but as he would say……I’ve lived a wonderful and blessed life and really….what more can you ask for.
Wayne is loved and missed by his wife of 57 years, Diane; daughter, Tammy (Kevin) Hartman; daughter-in-law, Mary Whipps; grandchildren, Ashley, Brian, Hayley; step-granddaughter Rebecca; great-grandchildren, Aiden and Addison Malz.
Wayne is reunited in Heaven with his son, John W. Whipps, and parents, Elmer and Agnes Whipps.

My heart goes out to Diane and the Whipps family. I grew up with Wayne and knew him to be a quiet, humble and loving man. I will always remember him for the special man that he was. May the Lord Bless you and hold you in the Palm of his hand.
My heart goes out to you Diane, Tammy, Kevin, and all of the other family members that meant so much to Wayne. So many memories of growing up just down the road from you and the fun times that we had back in the day. Wayne was a big man with a gentle but even bigger heart. Just remember… he is in good company up there. Prayers for peace and comfort to all .
Our deepest sympathy to Diane, Tammy, Kevin and all the Whipps family. Wayne was such an easy guy to visit with and always made me smile. I will forever remember his trips back & forth to the farm to do chores with good old Smokey, the blue tick hound. May all the wonderful memories you have provide comfort and peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I’m saddened to hear of Wayne’s passing. Reading the condolences clearly represents the class of 1965 and the friends he grew up with. I remember him as a gentle boy who could run fast and make touch downs. His athletic prowess was unchallenged and admired by so many underclassman. As we all age we will confront our mortality. As teenagers Marsha and I remember him as a star, though he was clearly much more than that. RIP.
