They were also dedicated to the service of the poor and other charitable activities in the parish. In retirement they traveled the country extensively, often by RV, including a lengthy trip to Alaska. They also visited Mexico, Italy, and Switzerland.

| 2652 | Obituary: Wayne Overbeck, 71, of Columbia, Missouri, passed away Saturday, March 30, 2019, in his home. Visitation will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, 2019, at Memorial Funeral Home, 1217 Business Loop 70 W., in Columbia. A memorial service will follow at 5 p.m. at the funeral home with the Rev. Bruce Williamson officiating. All are invited and encouraged to attend. Wayne was born Jan. 7, 1948, in Sugar Creek, Missouri, to Bert and Elizabeth (Wisecup) Overbeck, who preceded him in death. While working at the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center, he met the love of his life, his loving wife of 41 years. He and Gail wed on March 2, 1974, and she also preceded him in death, on June 7, 2016. On Nov. 7, 1974, they welcomed their oldest daughter, Emily, into the world. She preceded both of them in death, in December 2013. He is survived by his youngest daughter, Erika, and her husband, Tylor Prentice, of Centralia; three grandsons, Deven Overbeck, Jace Brady and Masen Prentice; one "unofficially adopted" son, Mark Fox of Centralia; his cuddly and loving cat, Motor Oil; one younger brother; and one older sister. He was also preceded in death by three brothers and two sisters. Those who knew him undoubtedly loved him, claiming he would do anything for anyone at just the cost of a smile and a cold Diet Coke. Mowing yards, scrapping a large variety of "junk," dressing up as Santa Claus, moving furniture across town or just hauling anything away are just a few things Wayne will be missed for. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to JDRF, c/o Memorial Funeral Home, 1217 Business Loop 70 W., Columbia, MO 65202.

"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, So he put his arm around you and whispered "Come with me". We watched you suffer and saw you fade away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A Golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove that he only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day, Life doesn't seem the same since you've gone away; When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong we seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on". Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping, We'll meet again some day".
