Ionia Sentinel Standard, Sep 2008

There is now one more carpenter in Heaven – Wayne DeCort passed away on Friday,
Sept 19, 2008 at the age of 66.  He was born on Dec. 3, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio the
son of Noel and Virginia (Kamper) DeCort.  Wayne spent his entire life loving
and caring for his family and giving of himself to others.  Whether it was
serving his country, teaching or helping out a fellow neighbor, his enormous
heart continuously drove his actions.  When not teaching or serving his fellow
man he filled his time working in his basement, fostering his creative energy
into his woodworking or other marvelous pieces of art.  His wife and children
will forever hold in their hearts the countless memories he gave their family,
particularly their ski trips out west and their trips up north to Young State
Park and Interlochen.  Wayne loved being with his kids.  Whether rollerblading,
skiing, snowboarding or playing with his grandchildren, he kept up with them
till the very end.  Wayne certainly left his mark in this world, and he did so
being incredibly humble.  Even in death he gave of himself.  Wayne was able to
donate three organs so that three others may carry on, hopefully with his
remarkable energy for life.

He leaves behind his wife of 40 years, Jan; son, Dan (Mishay) DeCort; daughter,
Julie (Aaron) Yuhas; grandchildren, Kali and Leiya DeCort, and Ella Yuhas;
father, Noel DeCort; siblings, Janet (Mike) Shaink, Debbie (Mel) Scott, Diane
(David) Myers, Dave (Lori) De Cort and Mike Walters; father-in-law, Robert
Acker; sister-in-law, Ann (Bill) Acker; several nieces nephews and friends.  He
was preceded in death by his mother, Virginia DeCort and a stepmother, Lois DeCort.

There will be a memorial visitation held from 5-8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, 2008 at
the Schrauben-Lehman Funeral Home, 220 Rich Street, Ionia, MI 48846.  A
remembrance time will take place at 7 p.m. that evening.  For those desiring,
memorial contributions may be made to the Hospice House of Mid Michigan, in
memory of Mr. Wayne R. DeCort.
