Wayne Mark Doster, Jr.

Wayne Mark Doster, Jr., age 58, of Powell, Tennessee passed away on Friday, July 7, 2023 at his home, surrounded by his family. Wayne was a beloved husband. His wife, Jo, was the love of his life and his rock. He was a father, father-in-love and grandfather but his favorite people called him, "Pops". He never met anyone he didn't connect with and befriended most he met. Wayne was admired by all for his sense of humor, optimism and strong will to live. As a child, Wayne raced go karts nationwide for 11 years. He competed against much bigger race teams and had two top five finishes in Grand National Championships and two wins in Winter National Championships. Wayne faithfully worked for Shoney's of Knoxville for 22 years where he served as General Manager at multiple locations. In 2003, he started his own lawn and landscaping company, Doster Lawns and Landscaping, LLC, which is currently an ongoing, successful business. Wayne has always been an avid golfer.
