Sheble, a life-long bachelor, was born in Lincoln on March 4, 1932, to Louis M. and Helen (Porter) Sheble.

He worked on the assembly line at Industrial Training Center.

Note: Wayne was one of the most faithful, friendly members of First Baptist Church. He was appreciative when helped to find the songs that would be sung, with papers to mark the pages. He always sat at the front of the church, but one Sunday he tripped on the old, wrinkled carpet that led to his pew. After a shocked silence, and thankful discovery that no bones were broken, the service went on—and the next week, there was a new, perfectly installed carpet down the center aisle.
