Henry Ebarb was born on July 31, 1943, in Noble, LA to his parents Henry N. and Doris Ebarb. He passed away on Tuesday, August 29 at Willis Knighton Hospital in Bossier. Fortunately, as Wayne would refer to his wife Linda, his “beautiful bride” was by his side as he went to be with the Good Lord.
After graduating from Ebarb, he enlisted in the Air Force. Upon returning home from the military, he worked in the oilfield and at the plywood mill in Florien. It was on June 13, 1969, when he married his wife, Linda Logan. He later joined the Zwolle Police Department and became the Chief of Police.
Wayne was known by so many names: Big E, Johnny Lee, John, hat man, Ray, Partner, Chief, and Ole Bud. With these names came different stories. As a husband, daddy, papaw, and friend, he was notorious in telling stories that left one laughing.
