Wayne Robert MacLeod
1951-2022
It is with heavy
hearts that we announce the passing of Wayne MacLeod, age 71,
surrounded by his family, on Sunday, June 19, 2022, in the care of
Valley Regional Hospital, ICU, Kentville. Wayne passed away knowing he
was loved and at peace.
Wayne was born and
raised in PEI, a proud Islander who played a big part in many
prominent construction projects across Canada, including the build of
the Confederation Bridge. Pictures were proudly displayed at his home
in Centreville, and they travelled with him wherever he lived
– and there were many places!
A man who did the job
right, no cutting corners, only the best quality work was acceptable,
and you were told straight if that wasn’t the case!
Respected and admired by the businesses he worked for over the years,
Wayne was often sought out for his engineering and project management
expertise.
A man of the church,
Wayne’s life was fulfilled by his desire to show kindness
and compassion to all, making an impact on all those he met. Everyone
knew Wayne MacLeod.
Wayne was a devoted
husband, survived by his wife, the love of his life, Lynn. Her
happiness and that of his family was his priority, always wanting to
make sure they were taken care of. Proud Dad to Lorraine (Peter) and
his children through marriage, Holly (Joey), Troy (Becky), Robyn
(Dave), Mark; Wayne’s children, Kim Dodd and Wayne MacLeod
Jr. A man of strong family values, he took his role as father and
mentor seriously. A doting grandfather, big in stature and big in
heart, those “Papa hugs” will be missed by his
grandchildren, Ashley, Alyssah, David, Jack, Lucy, Poppy, Anna, Riley
and Drew. He is also survived by sisters, Geraldine Myers, Anne Marie
(Colin) Deacon, Annette Callaghan, Mary (David) MacLean, Jamie (Susan)
Clarkin, Bobby Clarkin; sister-in-law, Wendy Soward; many nieces and
nephews.
He was predeceased by
his father, Gerald Clarkin (1993); mother, Norma Callaghan (2020);
grandmother, Annie MacLeod (1981); brother, Brent (1971) and, Diane
Bradley (2018).
We are thankful for
the wonderful care our beloved Wayne received from the doctors and
nurses at the Valley Regional Hospital.
