Wayne Parker

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Wayne Robert Parker at his home on July 11th, 2024.
Wayne had fond memories of growing up in Barrie, Ontario. He met Anne (predeceased), the love of his life, at 18 years old, and they were married 63 years.
Wayne will be greatly missed by his daughters Kathleen, Lori (David) and Sandy (John); by his grandchildren Jeffrey, Heather (Nat), Jenny, Jamie (Marnie) and Tom (Danielle); and also by his sister-in-law Pat (Jim).
Wayne was at heart a carpenter, the consummate handyman. Happiest with a project on the go —from building his own cottage, to making furniture— Wayne loved spending time in his workshop.
A gentleman, avid reader, helpful neighbour—a family man. Wayne will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
At a later date, Wayne will be interred at the Aurora cemetery in a private family service. The family requests no flowers.
