Wayne Delvin Little Crow moved on to his heavenly home Saturday, June 20, 2020. He was born in Poplar, MT. August 31, 1964 to Marietta (Babe) Blount-Four Bear and Rudolph (Wixie) Young.
Wayne lived his life in Brockton where he was raised by his mother and grandmother, Kathleen Red Eagle-Blount. He attended Brockton Public Schools, finished with a GED and graduated from the Fort Peck Community College with an Associate of Science degree in Hazardous Materials/Waste Technology on May 09, 2009. He was elected to the Brockton School Board in May of 2013 and served until October 2014. Wayne realized the importance of an education but also knew he had to set an example for his community, which he did.
Wayne loved to read. He read books and magazines about science and Native American history in his spare time. He also liked to watch a good movie now and then. He enjoyed participating in and watching sports, starting with elementary through professional level.
It was common for Wayne to turnover a box, tin tub or plastic basin to use as a drum to practice songs when he was growing up. He always caught the ear of the neighbors. Wayne succeeded in becoming a member of the Fort Kipp Juniors drum group. He leaves a collection of tapes and 78’s of the Fort Kipp, Badland, and other singers. He was honored to be a member of the Fort Kipp Pow Wow Committee for many years.
Wayne spent the later part of his life living with his mother. He worked various jobs to support himself and help her with her needs as he would say. He enjoyed visiting relatives in his free time to learn family history and traditional ways which included helping family. He spent many hours helping take care of a niece and nephew, William and Ronnie Prichard who lived with their grandma and grandpa Fourbear. We know, he was special to them too.
