I met Wayne when I was in 8th or 9th grade during a campus visit. It was when the athletic offices were still located in the stadium. My little brother and I were looking for Shaq but came across Wayne instead. He was a very nice guy and got a kick out of us searching for Shaq.

Terrible news. I hope he is at least able to be with his son now.

Sad, sad news. Never met the man, but have ONLY heard good things about him.

RIP to a great Tiger.

No. Just no. I was in school with Wayne and the softness of his jumper matched the softness of his heart. He was a gentle giant with a peaceful expression on his face, almost always. He exuded goodness. I'm just so sorry for the Sims family. I know father and son are reunited in a better place but pardon me for taking a moment to feel bad about what we in the LSU community have lost. RIP, Big Man. You made everything you did better.

One of my favorites from my time at LSU!
I remember watching him at one of the home games and he was on fire! I think he went 8 for 8 from the field that night!
I’ll never forget that game!

Crushing…knew him a bit when he played, and he epitomized kindness.

Prayers up for Fay.
She’s had a hell of a lot to endure…

So sad to hear. One of our Tiger hoops greats. My daughter and I sat next to him and Wayde at a football game in TS in 2011. We had a nice visit as the game went on. Hard to believe they’re both gone way too soon. Praying for his wife and family. ????
