Wayne Brown Elliott

Wayne Brown Elliott was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, August 16, 1947, to Roy and Lucile Elliott. His elementary school years were in South Carolina. During the summers from about the age of 10, Wayne and his older brother, Larry, worked on their Uncle Robert Lee Brown’s farm in Taft, Texas, driving tractors. In 1962 the family moved to Beaumont, Texas, where three years later Wayne graduated from Forest Park High School. Wayne’s love of cars and drag racing led him to a career repairing and servicing vehicles in Taft and Portland, TX. He later moved to Beaumont and started Elliott’s Automotive. True to his love of cars, Wayne finally got to realize his dream of going to a race at Daytona Speedway. Wayne spent many hours enjoying his friends and activities at the Yacht Club and with the Elks.

Wayne is preceded in death by his grandparents, Emmett and Mittie Brown Cryer and parents, Roy and Lucile Elliott.
