MUISE, Wayne – It is
with great sadness that the family of Wayne Muise announce his sudden
passing on Tuesday, August 9, 2022, surrounded by close family in the
Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital, after a short battle with
cancer at the age of 64. Wayne’s life may have been cut
short, but he touched the hearts of many while he was with
us.
Wayne was the son of the late Ernie Muise and Florence
(Matthews-Muise) Ellis. Wayne grew up in Big Marsh surrounded by
family and many good memories were made with grandparents (Russell and
Maude Matthews) and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Wayne worked away for many years in Alberta and Ontario in
the oilfields and construction, but he was happiest when he moved back
to Cape Breton where he met Florence, built a home and enjoyed 25
years together. Wayne started his own company, Digger Construction and
was an honest and reliable entrepreneur in the surrounding areas where
he completed many projects large and small.
Wayne had two sons, Nick and Johnny who he was very proud of
and looked forward to their calls and visits hearing about their life
and plans. Wayne spent many hours in the rinks all over the Maritimes
watching his own sons and then his nephews play hockey. He was so
proud of their accomplishments. He could be seen with a Tim Hortons
coffee in hand standing by the glass watching them
play.
Wayne spent many a winter hunting with his uncles Earl and
Billy and loved his hunting dogs, especially Cabot. Wayne loved music
but Country was his favorite. His talent, playing the guitar was
obvious but mostly he loved being around his family when they played
and sang.
Wayne is survived by his wife, Florence (Matheson); sons,
Nicholas and Jonathan (Emily); brothers, Brian (Jo-ann) Ellis, Wendall
(Wendy) Ellis; sister-in-law, Chris; nephews, Colton, Chase, Matthew,
Kai, Jonah; niece, Haylee Dawn and his fur babies, Pumkin and Bella.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Stevie and
mother of his children, Gail Muise.
There will be a Celebration of Life in the Blues Mills and
Area Fire Hall on Monday, August 22 from 6-8 p.m. with a private
family burial at a later date. Donations can be made to the Margaree
Cat Rescue or a charity of one’s choice. Words of comfort
may be forwarded to the family at www.haverstocks.com

hands at Rest”
