G. Wayne Petch Obituary
Wayne passed away peacefully on December 25, 2023, at the age of 78 after a short battle with cancer. He was previously deceased by his wife, Judy, the day after their only child, Tyler, was born.
Wayne was born on March 21, 1945 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan & lived his life split between Moose Jaw, Calgary, Lacombe & Red Deer. He was a hardworking, dedicated, single father to his only son, Tyler, a loving father-in-law to Janelle, & a doting Papa to his two grandchildren, Aria & Zac.
Wayne had a passion & great talent for the piano. He was a regular fixture for many years at the Seventh Day Adventist church in Red Deer as well as the accompanying pianist/organist for the CUC choir in Lacombe during his earlier years. He was an avid bowler & curler when he was younger & won many trophies. Late in life, he really enjoyed watching tennis & golf.
Wayne loved to take trips with his wife & then later his son. His many vacations included Hawaii, Disneyland, & Mexico.
Wayne was the founder & owner of Nature’s Nuggets health food store in Lacombe for many years & later the owner of Golden Sun Health Foods in Red Deer which is still running for over 25 years & now has a 2nd generation owner in his son, Tyler.
