Life History: Wayne was raised in various areas of Wyoming. In sixth grade, he lived with Duward and Dorothy Jones on the Warm Springs Ranch. Wayne graduated high school at Hot Springs County High School where he met lifelong friends Craig, Rodney, Ernie, Nels, Gary, Lee and Bart. Wayne joined the National Guard and planned to join the Army, but met the love of his life, Mari Beth Skelton. They married in 1972 and began their family of four daughters. Wayne enjoyed spending time with his girls. They spent time riding horses, trailing cows, singing and dancing. He had a zest for life and enjoyed it to its fullest. The Riggs family lived in Thermopolis until 1986 when they moved to California for a short time. They have made Casper their home for the last 18 years. Wayne loved his "big toys" so he began Talon Excavation, RussLee and RFM businesses where he could play all day. Wayne enjoyed spending time with his ever-growing family listening to Elvis music, watching Bronco games, and going to movies.
