Wayne Cameron Bain Sr. of Lethbridge, Alberta, beloved husband of Lydia.
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Wayne Cameron Bain Sr. announce his passing on December 17, 2015 at the age of 79, six days before his 80th birthday.
Wayne leaves behind his wife of 57 years, Lydia; his legacy of children Carrie (Yuki), Sandi, and Cameron (Karen); grandchildren Kevin (Angela), Shereen (Jared), Chantelle (Ryan), Katherine, Kristen and Skyler; as well as six great grandchildren, four sisters and many cousins.
Wayne was born in Lethbridge at the Galt Hospital on December 23, 1935. Wayne loved country life and his time on the farm. He is fondly remembered for the days when he was retired and spent most of his earlier days going to auction sales. He loved to spend time buying and collecting old tractors and harvesters. Wayne spent his final days living on the farm. He loved driving around on his ATV, and his scooter and then in the end, his wheelchair.
We will always love and remember you Dad. You will be deeply missed.
Willow, Piper and Koda will truly miss sitting under and by your wheelchair waiting for a morsel of food.
A special thank you to Dr. J. Burke for your kind and gentle guidance in Wayne’s final days. We would also like to thank the home care girls, especially Deanne, Melissa and Candace, who gave dad excellent care for the last 6 years.
At Wayne’s request, there will be no funeral service. Cremation entrusted to Martin Brothers Funeral Chapels.
A private Celebration of Life with immediate family will be held at a later date.
