In memory of
Wayne Fowler
October 5, 1947 - November 12, 2024
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Wayne Fowler. As the saying goes, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight,” we find comfort in the beautiful sunsets that remind us of Wayne’s vibrant spirit and the joy he brought into our lives.
Wayne was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend to many. Known for his sarcastic humor and love of teasing, he always knew how to bring a smile to our faces. As a dedicated educator with the Durham District School Board and a lifelong learner, he deeply influenced many lives with his wisdom and kindness. In retirement, he became a bird carver, an avid gardener, and nurtured a deep love for nature.
On a summer night in 1981, while sitting on the boat and watching the beautiful 3:30 am sunrise in Prinyers Cove, he wrote about the experience with his co-pilot at his side. His co-pilot remained at his side until the end.
In accordance with his wishes, there will be no formal funeral or fuss. Instead, a private Celebration of Life will be held in the spring in the gardens he loved so much in his backyard, symbolizing renewal and the enduring impact Wayne had on all who knew him.
May he sail away in his dreams.
