Wayne Jeffrey, father, educator, conductor, horn player, lover of music, passed away on November 13, 2024, in White Rock, BC.
Treasured and loving father of Paul (Rodica), Sarah (Gabriel), and Mark (Ellen);
Cherished Papa of Grace and Thomas, Evelyn and Aidan, and Amelia.
Dear brother of Lynne Jeffrey Anderson.
Loving uncle of James (Ashley) Anderson and Melissa (Alex) Anderson Hazlett and Great-Uncle to Callum, and Thomas and Ellie; Son of the late Walter Roy Jeffrey and Gladys (née Purchase) Jeffrey.
He will be missed by family, friends, and former students too numerous to count.
Wayne will forever be remembered for his sense of humour, his kind soul, his brilliant career as a leading teacher in the field of Horn and Wind Ensemble conducting, his loyalty to his loved ones, and his incredible passion for living life. He loved the arts and music; he loved his friends and students; most of all he loved his family.
Raised in the musical tradition of the Salvation Army in the North Toronto Corps brass band, Wayne was a child prodigy, featured on piano at 7 years old on the popular television show Tiny Talent Time. Deciding to pursue music as a career, his studies took him to Germany to study horn with Ifor James in Freiburg, Germany, and later to earn a DMA in Wind Ensemble conducting with Donald Hunsberger at the Eastman School of Music.
Over the course of his career he was band director at Oakwood Collegiate Institute in Toronto, and Professor of Horn and Wind Ensemble at the Universities of Windsor, Queens, Toronto, Western, and Kwantlen University College. He was Artistic Director of the Courtenay Youth Music Centre, a longtime faculty member at the National Music Camp of Canada, and popular clinician and adjudicator at music festivals across Canada. He loved to travel, and he loved people. Wayne’s life was marked by a passion for music, a commitment to education, and a profound impact on the communities he served.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the National Youth Orchestra of Canada or the White Rock/South Surrey Stroke Recovery Association.
