My heart goes out to the Wayne family. Our lives were touched by John Wayne and his integrity and now the shock of loosing his oldest son, Michael. We have lost an most valuable part of our lives….

My best to the family during your time of sorrow.

I do beleive I may have family ties to John Wayne, and that we may be distantly related. This has been rumored in my family for quite some time. Is there any way to find out if this is ture?

Hi,
I am an American living in Europe, Belgium. I am a devoted sculptor, I have sculptured a John Wayne bust, with a cowboy hat and a scarf. Everone that has seen it marvels about how accurate it is.
John Wayne is and has been my all time favorite actor, I am now 53 and decided to do a tribute for him. My style and presentation is not like you have ever seen. I always get told that. I am very pleased with this work of art, and I want John Wayne's family to see it. What must I do? I cannot find anyone kind enough to help me?
The artist,
Daniel

I strangely knew that very evening somehow micheal passed, since i had a very sad feeling of a great loss that very evening at the stroke of midnight eastern time/ midnight pacific. My grandmothers first cousin was Ward Bond. If any body knew of any family of Ward Bond please let them know I would like them to either email me or write me. I feel that the greatest and most loyal of all friends anybody could have it would be John Wayne and Ward Bond simply for thier work ethic and honesty. We have lost the two greatest heroes in the U.S.A. and now of all times we need them!

It was my pleasure to meet Michael at a Golden Boot AWards. Saw him & his family at St.Charles Church in Hollywood. My prayers are with the Wayne Family. Keep the faith.

I am 56 years old and have been an admirer of the Duke for most of my life and was very saddened when he died but never as shocked as I am now, just finding out that Michael has died. I have seen Michael many times on documentaries and knew of the great work he was doing keeping his dad?s memory alive. I?m sure Patrick and Ethan will carry on the good work.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Michael's Wife and all the Wayne family at this very sad news.

I had the great fortune to meet John Wayne in 1964 outside the American Embassy where I worked in London. I always wanted to meet Michael but sadly now that will never come to pass.

It’s like losing THE DUKE all over again. Respect to Michael, he kept his fathers memory so alive. Sadness at losing them but pride in knowing them.
