Wayne Ferguson

June 22, 1943 – June 15, 2015

Wayne Brent Ferguson, of Chilliwack BC, passed away in VGH Monday June 15th 2015 after a courageous battle with leukemia. He had a peaceful send off with family at his side. During the singing of ‘Nearer My God To Thee’ Wayne took his last breath.

Wayne is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Patricia, and his son’s Ryan Brent (Pandora) and Bradley Wayne (Jessica). He will truly be missed by his adored granddaughters Ashley Patricia and Kayla Mauvoreen, and Miracle the wonder dog who always kept him hopping. Wayne is survived by his older brothers Ron, Reg and Garry (Carol). He was predeceased by his parents Lorena and Clayton, his Uncle Elmer, his Aunt Lula and his Grandmother Hutson.

Wayne served 27 ½ years with the Military, where he was stationed throughout various parts of Canada, Germany, Israel and Norway. Upon retiring as a Warrant Officer with the Military, Wayne chose to pursue a career in real estate where he found success in sales, and during this time also held position of President of the BC Real Estate Board. After 10 years in real estate, music and writing novels became an endeavor. He became a talented song writer, recording many beautiful heart-rendering country ballads, and thrived on playing and singing in front of a live audience.

Wayne had a passion for fishing and hunting. When spring arrived, he was right on key in starting to prepare for his annual hunting trip to Pink Mountain. Come rain, sleet or sun, much of May was spent trout fishing at Osprey Lake. When he wasn’t hunting and fishing he was following current sporting activities on TV.

A Celebration of Wayne’s Life will be held on Monday June 22nd at 11:30 AM at the Chilliwack Alliance Church with Pastor Leon Throness officiating.

Memorial Donations would be so graciously accepted to Music BC, during the service at Chilliwack Alliance Church or by mail to; C/O 10514 McDonald Road, Chilliwack BC, V2P 6L5.
