He was born on January 26, 1932 and was the 1st born of 2 children born to George and Luella Steinbrecher. Wayne grew up in Long Siding, MN where he was raised on a dairy farm. He attended a one room country school through grade school, and then graduated from Princeton High School.

Wayne continued with his education and was ordained at Augsburg Seminary in 1958. They served 4 parishes in ND and 3 in WI. They joined Daystar Ministries and later served a parish in Arizona. He retired in 1997 and moved back to his hometown in 2002 where they have resided since in Princeton Apartments. He conducted many Bible Studies in the Princeton nursing homes.

Sharing his faith in Jesus was his passion. His other interest included carpentry, fishing, gardening, baking, cooking and playing games with family and friends. Family reunions were a thing he treasured. Playing with his grandchildren and teaching them how to fish was especially enjoyable. His great-grandchildren made him feel young again.
