With heavy hearts, we announce that Wayne passed peacefully in his sleep at the age of 64.

Wayne will be lovingly remembered by his sons, Shawn (Carley) and Dustyn; sister Susan (Alphy); brothers, Greg and Alan (Debbie) Eleanore; nieces, nephews and many other family members and friends. 

He was predeceased by his parents Carl and Evelyn Purpur.

In his younger years, Wayne was an accomplished athlete. He set and held long-standing records in track and field and participated in the 1973 Canada Games. As an adult, he worked for CN Rail, where he retired from after many years. After retirement, Wayne resided in Carman, Manitoba.
