| 3812 | Obituary: Wayne Overbeck January 7, 1948 - March 30, 2019 Wayne Overbeck, 71, of Columbia, Missouri, passed away Saturday, March 30, 2019, in his home.

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.

Bryan was born on April 30th, 1975, in Big Spring, TX to Tammy Davidson and William (Bill) W. Sledge III. Bryan was all about his girls - wife Imiley and daughter Suri. He was very involved in everything these two did. He traveled with Suri for Club Volleyball and watched all her games at Midland Classical Academy. Bryan loved to serve the MCA volleyball team by working the position of "Home Guard" at Suri's games. When he was not at Club Volleyball, he went to every single Barrel Race and Rodeo to see his wife, Imiley, compete. He loved grooming the horses, and recording Imiley's runs, always ready to video every single run. Bryan also loved being on his tractor - he was always on it and loved working the ground for the barrel races. He even posed as "The Grinch" one year, in a family Christmas photo on the tractor with his girls. In addition to all this, earlier in his career, Bryan coached numerous sports for Midland High School. Bryan also loved his niece and nephew - twins! And the twins' little baby brother! He loved to take the twins in the "hooptie" and sing songs from the movie "Frozen!" "Let It Go" was the all-time favorite! Bryan was also a dog lover, and he and his wife Imiley bought a dog together. He named it Brandon and put it in a baby carrier to tote around with him at the barrel races. Three of his NINE dogs - Brandon, Wolf and Maya - especially loved to ride around with him in his tractor. Bryan also loved his Donkeys, and sometimes the Llama! There was never a dull moment on the "Barkin' Ranch". All this to say, Bryan loved his family, his animals and life! He will be greatly missed. Bryan is survived by his wife Imiley McKay Sledge, and his daughter Suri Alyse Sledge. He is also survived by his father William (Bill) W. Sledge III and stepmother Vickie Sledge. Bryan is preceded in death by his mother Tammy Davidson. The family would like to express their gratitude towards the responding medics and Midland Memorial Hospital and their dedicated staff - especially Leyla McCoy. They would also like to thank all the family members and friends who have shown their love and tender care for them throughout. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Fix West Texas from where Bryan adopted several cats and dogs.
