September 7, 1956 – June 13, 2022
With broken hearts, the family announces the passing of Wayne Grandmont on Monday, June 13, 2022 at the age of 65.
He was predeceased by his parents Maurice and Olive Grandmont and many other loved ones. He leaves to mourn his siblings, Denise, Ray, Roger (Carrie) and Lisa (Martin); nieces Renee and Christie (Ryan); nephew Cory (Amber); great-nieces Mikaila and Emma; great-nephews Nicholas, Richard and Brady; also, his loving girlfriend Leslie and their cat Snoopy.
Wayne had a career of over thirty years at Maxim Truck and Trailer. He was very well respected and knew his “stuff.” He was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer two years ago and lived life to the fullest getting in as much ride time as he possibly could on his beloved Indian Chieftain. That bike was a 2016 and he had put on over 90,000 km. He loved to ride!
Wayne was a kind, humble, gentle soul who touched many people’s lives and left a lasting impression. He had a lot of life-long friends who will miss him dearly. Great stories and memories will continue for many, many years. People were always drawn to Wayne. Total strangers would often strike up a conversation. He had quite a sense of humour and loved teasing people. Wayne also loved his snooker and was an avid pool player since his teenage years. He could be found many Saturday nights table-side along the pool tables at his neighborhood establishment. We always knew where to find Wayne. We will truly miss you brother.
A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, June 23 at 1:30 p.m., in the chapel of Voyage Funeral Home, 220 Hespeler Avenue at Henderson Hwy.
“Life is short, forgive quickly, love honestly, laugh easy, keep it simple, ride often, ride FREE and never regret anything that makes you smile”
