Wayne Clay Hollingsworth, a kind and most giving father, passed peacefully on September 8, 2013 in Bartlett, Tennessee. Born August 22, 1937 to John Gordon and Marjorie Collins Hollingsworth, Wayne graduated from East High School and then Tulane University, with a BA degree in business. He and his brother Gordon co-owned the Gordon Hollingsworth Company in Memphis. Wayne spent 31 years as an owner-operator with United Van Lines and Mayflower, receiving multiple driver of the year awards. He is survived by his brother Gordon, his children Clay, Vaughan and Collins, his grandchildren Micah, Leah, Lauren and Garrett, and former wife Lee Rogers. Wayne loved antique collectables, especially his 55 Chevy convertible, which replicated his most favorite car in high school. Wayne will be remembered by his family as being a selfless provider, and a man with a positive human spirit and endless optimism. He will be missed dearly. A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, September 18th, at 10 a.m. at Forest Hill Cemetery at 1661 S. Elvis Presley Blvd., Memphis, TN. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Jude Children''s Research Hospital.
