On Sunday, December 29, 2019, Wayne Deane, passed away peacefully in his sleep, following his loving wife Beverlee Deane, who had passed in the month prior.

In their retirement years, Wayne and Bev enjoyed spending time in Yuma until his several health issues forced them to stay in province. Wayne had a lifelong love of planes and trains, and managed to fulfill a dream to obtain his pilots license. Wayne also enjoyed to tinker with many things, from cars to models, to household repairs. He was always there to lend a hand. Wayne is preceded in death by his wife Beverlee, his brother Jim, and his parents Moses and Caroline. He is survived by his children, Cheryl (Kim) Hryciw, Toni Deane, Marliss Hartle, Nikki Bode, and Cameron Elliott.
