Wayne Yoder Jr. age 55 of Wautoma passed away on Saturday, August 10, 2024 at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN after his battle with cancer. He was born on December 19, 1968 in Hazelton, IA to Wayne J. and Amanda (Helmuth) Yoder. Wayne owned and operated Yoder’s Auction service along with holding his Real Estate License. He loved to auction whether it was car auctions, horse auctions, antiques…when there was an auction….he was there.

Wayne will be sadly missed by the auction community, his family and friends.
