It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Dr. Wayne Harold Chang on October 30, 2025.

Wayne was a beloved son of the late Keith and Cheryl Chang, whose love and guidance shaped the man he became. He was the devoted husband of Hilary, the proud and loving father to Declan, and a cherished brother to Gail (David), Elizabeth, Donna, and Andrew. He is lovingly remembered by his in-laws, Anne and Tanya Clarke, and his large extended family whose lives he touched with his warmth, kindness and generosity.

Wayne was a faculty member at the University of Waterloo’s Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business, where he inspired and engaged students through his passion for innovation, thoughtful mentorship, and unwavering dedication to education. His contributions to the academic community and the lives of his students will be remembered with deep appreciation.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Waterloo, with details to follow.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Wayne Chang Memorial Fund (https://imodules.uwaterloo.ca/WayneChang), supporting a foundational scholarship in his name, or to a charity of your choice, in Wayne’s memory.

Forever loved, deeply missed, and always remembered.
