Wayne Lineberry

Danny Wayne Lineberry, 75, of Sophia, passed away Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at his home. A funeral service will be conducted on Saturday, May 21, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. at Sunset Avenue Church of God with Pastor Boyd Byerly officiating. Burial will follow at Mountain View Church Cemetery. Military honors will be provided by the Randolph County Honor Guard. He was born in Randolph County on September 22, 1946 to Louise and Edward Lineberry. Wayne proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and had been a member of Sunset Avenue Church of God since 1972. He and Judy were involved in many areas of ministry including children's ministry, bus ministry, choir, music, and was an elder. Wayne played for different gospel groups over the years. His hobbies included riding motorcycles, classic cars, and going to one of his favorite places - the beach, just to look at God's beautiful creation. He had a reputation of being the most humble and kind person. Even during his ALS battle, he didn't complain ever but tried his hardest to help and stayed positive. He wrote Judy a letter apologizing for the hard journey they were on and how thankful he was to have her for his wife. We adore Wayne and know he is at peace and able to walk, talk, breathe, swallow and eat. Life is precious. Never take a moment for granted. In addition to his parents, Wayne is preceded in death by his brothers, Ray and Eddie Lineberry. Survivors include his wife, Judy Smith Lineberry; sisters, Ruth Adams, Carol Scott and husband Barry, Edith Kearns, Diane Westmoreland; and brother, David Lineberry and wife Debbie. In addition to his biological brother, he loved Lewis Smith as a brother as well. The family will receive friends from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 21, 2022, at the church prior to the service. Memorials may be made to The ALS Association, P.O. Box 37022, Boone, IA 50037-0022; or to Community Home Care and Hospice, 533 S. Fayetteville Street, Asheboro, NC 27203.
