Wayne Leonard Martin
December 11, 1954 – October 13, 2020
Wayne left this world at the age of 65 on Tuesday October 13, 2020 the same way he lived; with dignity, selflessness, class and a sense of humour.
Son of the late Leonard and Jean [nee Jarvis] Martin. Brother of Linda, Marilyn and Brett Martin.
Wayne held many titles in his life, but none were as important to him as, Dad, Husband and Grandad. He is survived by his three children Lindsey, Ashley and Claire, his loving wife, Melissa and his granddaughters, Zoey and Victoria.
He retired in 2015 after a long career with the Royal Bank of Canada. Over the years, Wayne was also a great teacher and held a 4th Dan black belt in Shotokan karate. He was a skilled craftsman who always ensured a job was done right.
Since his teens, Wayne had a passion for motorcycles. In recent years, he enjoyed numerous trips including Africa, the 75th anniversary of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Gettysburg PA, Cooperstown NY/Vermont and a solo trans-Canada/US tour.
A celebration of a life well lived will take place at a later date so we can raise a glass in honour of an amazing man, partner, friend, father and grandfather.
We are very grateful for and wish to thank his compassionate healthcare team and, most of all, our wonderful family and friends for their support.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Juravinski Cancer Centre.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Wayne Leonard Martin December 11 1954 October 13 2020..
