Son of Vina Mae Franklin and Robert Eugene Highfield, he was born on February 11, 1958 in Cartersville, Georgia.

Despite education being important to him, immediately upon finding out he was going to be a father, Wayne quit high school and went to work in the oil field. He loved his oil field career which consisted of various positions for many years. Wayne could run a rig in his sleep even to this day. Many years later, he completed his GED and joined the City of Snyder's Water Department where he retired after 18 and 1/2 years. By many, he was known as the friendly water meter reader on the 4 wheeler. He enjoyed zooming through the alleyways and visiting with the customers. Wayne spent many years sharing the word of God as he was invited to preach at various churches and events. Denomination did not matter to him because it was his belief God was God no matter the religion. One thing is for sure, Wayne loved the Lord. Some of his all time favorite hobbies consisted of riding horses, working on small engines, learning to play the guitar, writing Christian music, site seeing, and preaching the word of God. Above all things, Wayne loved his God and his family!

During high school, Wayne met and married Janet Ann Melton in April of 1976. Together, they had 3 children: Sherry, Jason, and Daniel. The two of them were blessed to celebrate 39 years of marriage. In June 2018, Wayne married Kathy Posey Reynolds.
