Wayne was a loving husband and father. A great friend, always ready to lend a hand or spin a yarn. A prankster of the highest degree, his accuracy with a water balloon or a funny remark was unmatched. Aside from his devoted wife, his great love was the sea, having been a fisherman for 30+ years. His time as a volunteer Firemen in Whitbourne gave him a feeling of accomplishment and comradery, giving him a chance to give back to a community he adored. Having retired from the sea at age 51, he began a career as a DSW with Caregivers Inc, where co-workers became friends, and some co-workers became family. Wayne was loyal, loving, and kind, a pillar of strength and comfort to friends and family alike. A celebration of his life will be held at the Whitbourne Firehall on 14 September, from 2 – 4. His ashes will be spread at a later date in a private event.
A special thank you to Gary Holloway of Holloway’s Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Wayne Howell Memorial Fund.
