Msgt. Wayne A. Addison

On the afternoon of Thursday, March 28, 2019, MSgt. Wayne A. Addison, USAF (Ret.), 69, met Jesus face to face in heaven.

MSgt. Addison was born on December 8, 1949, in Erwin, North Carolina to the late James Thomas and Louise Page Addison. Following graduation in 1968 from Erwin High School, he began his military service in United States Air Force, proudly serving for 20 years and attaining the rank of Master Sergeant. During his Air Force career, he was assigned to the Presidential detail for Air Force 2. As crew chief, he was honored to fly with Presidents Ford, Carter, and Reagan. In 1982, MSgt. Addison and his wife Brenda moved their family to Warner Robins where he retired from the Air Force in 1989 and began a civil service career on Robins Air Force Base as an aircraft mechanic for 21 years. Central Baptist Church was his church home. MSgt. Addison had an eclectic variety of hobbies to occupy his free time including fishing, jigsaw puzzles, wood working, playing music, collecting guitars, and tinkering with hot rods and automobiles. However, his greatest joy in life came from the time that he spent with his adoring family. He was preceded in death by his brothers, James Addison and Edward Addison.
