Waco Wiggins Obituary (1975 - 2025)

We gather here today with heavy hearts and a touch of humor to remember the life of our beloved Waco Wiggins, whose charismatic soul and infectious laughter left an indelible mark on all who knew him. Born on September 12, 1975, Waco graced this world with his unique charm for just short of fifty years before his departure on September 7, 2025. A lifelong resident of Dayton, Ohio, Waco was a resilient spirit who navigated life's ups and downs with an enviable flair, embodying Mark Twain's words, "Humor is mankind's greatest blessing." Waco, who never held a traditional job, was a smart man who believed that life was more than punching a time clock. He found joy in the simple things: a nice pair of shoes, an intelligent conversation, a well-timed joke, and most importantly, his beloved cats, Pebbles, BamBam and Casper. His affinity for feline companions was renowned, and his home was always filled with purrs and the soft padding of little paws. One of Waco’s greatest joys was working on moto bikes - Riding and working on those bikes wasn’t just a hobby for him; it was freedom, creativity, and a reflection of his independent spirit. He also had an ease with people — the kind of charm that made him well liked by friends. Despite his challenges and setbacks, Waco was a family man at heart, cherishing the bond he shared with his niece, Callie Wiggins, and his son, Kayne Meade, who survive him. Preceded in death by his father, Paul Wiggins, his mother, Katherine Carpenter, and his brother, Johnny Wiggins, Waco's memory will continue to live in the hearts of those who loved him. His funny anecdotes, his charismatic personality, and his unyielding resilience will be remembered and celebrated. We pay one day we can all be reunited with the ones gone before us and I find comfort in the fact that they are always waiting whenever we are ready to go home. We invite all who knew Waco to leave their memories and upload photos to the memorial page. Let's remember him not with sadness, but with the laughter and warmth he brought into our lives. As we bid farewell to Waco Wiggins, let's honor his spirit by living each day with joy, resilience, and a touch of humor, just as he did.
