WAYNE MONTGOMERY
1900 — 2023
To know and share time with Wayne Alvin Roy Montgomery was to be with a kind, generous and happy man. He savoured his days and, even more, his wife, children, grandsons and friends. Wayne died suddenly, and tragically, near Chase, B.C. on January 3, 2023
Wayne and Trudy Nicol married in 1966 and have had decades of embracing life as they raised their children and delighted in each grandson’s arrival, and in each other’s companionship as they travelled to distant places, boated and camped. And when they looked at each other in their elder years, their family and friends knew Wayne still saw the pretty, vivacious 15-yr-old he’d first met and Trudy saw her amiable handsome 19-yr-old old drummer.
Hockey was Wayne’s sports love, and from 1977 to 2012, he lived and breathed Old Timer hockey, first with the Port Coquitlam’s Coachmen and the Chuggers, then in Kamloops with several league teams plus what he called the ‘most fun Friday Noon Goons.’ He was a fervent and faithful Canucks fan, supportive of them, even when they lost.
Wayne graduated from Kamloops High in 1961 and began his forty-year career in the bearing and transmission industry. At the age of 60, he joined Trudy in real estate in Kamloops until his retirement in 2011.
Wayne leaves a family mourning our loss of him: Soulmate Trudy, his dear son Jason, wife Nicole and grandsons Alton and Boston; his cherished daughter Tanya Giles, husband Kevin and grandsons Kaden, Tristan and Makai; his sister Sharon Howe; and his in-laws, Sharon and Wayne Nicol and Lynne Stonier-Newman and Brian Newman. as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Vera and Monty Montgomery of Valleyview.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.
A celebration of life will be held in the Spring.
