Suggested listening: Click here to hear A tribute from Wayne's long time friend, Keith Dudding.

We know Wayne would have loved to hear the first airing of CRSTL (formerly KDHX.) He rarely missed Keith's show. He was there in spirit, for sure.

Wayne Schell passed away on February 2, 2026.

He was deeply loved, endlessly himself, and meant so much to so many people, as a husband, father, brother, friend, and musician.

This page is a place for friends and family to stay connected as we sort out and share details about his memorial service, and to gather stories, memories, and photos that reflect the many ways he touched our lives.

If you feel moved to share a memory, a photo, or a few words about what he meant to you, we would love that. Thank you for holding him, and us, in your hearts.

We'd love it if you'd join us to celebrate his life.
