Wayne Edgar Flint, age 83 of Sidney, died Friday, September 20, 2013. He was born April 30, 1930 to Luther and Cassie (Middleton) Flint in Flint, MI. On June 20, 1959, he married Twilah L. Bekke in Vista, CA. Wayne graduated from Belding High School in 1949, and from Palomar College in 1955. He served in United States Army for two years during the Korean Conflict. After completing a four-year apprenticeship program, Wayne worked for ten years as a Journeyman Machinist at Oldsmobile in Lansing.

He was preceded in death by his parents; one sister, Doris Diebold; and one brother, Boyd Allen. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Twilah; two sons, Dwayne Flint of Hager Shores, MI and Robin (Rebecca) Flint of Sidney; three daughters, LeAnn (James) Horn of Freeport, FL, Ronda (Misak) Dulbandzhyan of Sheridan, and Roxanne (Andrew) Switzer of Sidney; ten grandchildren, Ashleigh and Bekke Horn, Nicholas, Kirsten, and J.J. Dulbandzhyan, Jacob Rogers, Hailey Flint, and Paige, Todd, and Jenna Switzer; one great-grandson, Colton; and one sister, Beverly Christiansen of San Marcos, CA.
