Wayne was born to Alphonse and Cecelia Donabauer. He operated Donabauer Well Drilling in St. Joseph, MN for many years. He had a deep passion for fast boats, cars, and especially fast Arctic Cat snowmobiles. His stories of his early seventies Arctic Cat 650 Ext Triple were told many times by many people. Also in the late 80’s through the 90’s his fierce competition with Ron Green, another local radar run competitior who ran Polaris snowmobiles, are the things that local legends are made of. Wayne was the first person in the Grey Eagle area who had an Arctic Cat 975 Triple. Wayne also loved his family very much. Wayne had dreams that he accomplished and many dreams and projects to the very end. He will be missed.
Wayne was preceded in death by his parents Al and Cecelia Donabauer; and daughter Vicki L. Fitzgerald, age 35 who he missed dearly.
