He was elected his Freshman class president and also held the 100 yard dash record for several years. He served in the United States Air Force in Vietnam and was honorably discharged. But, Waverly’s love was music. He toured the country for four years performing, and played in different establishments in and around the Jacksonville area for many years before and after. He was talented beyond words. He will be missed by those who loved him, and those he touched in his special way. He made a point to compliment people and thank everyone, even those he would only come in contact with once. Rest In Peace, Wave, you are missed..❤️
