Wayne Bruce Bluman

Wayne Bruce Bluman, age 67, died on 10/10/2026 in Port St. Lucie, FL. He struggled with multiple health issues for many years, but he never gave up hope of getting better. He now has been released from his pain and difficulties.

Wayne was born in Brooklyn, NY. His family moved to Manalapan, NJ when he was almost 9. He graduated from Manalapan High School in 1977. He worked for 17 years at the Associated Press as an electrical technician, where he wired and networked communications satellites. He lived in NJ most of his life and moved to Florida about 20 years ago. He lived in various Florida beach towns, most recently Port St. Lucie.

Wayne was a very sociable person, who loved talking to people he met along the way. He had many friends and still stayed in contact with high school friends. He loved his family deeply, most of whom live in the New Jersey and Florida areas, and he communicated regularly with them.

Wayne enjoyed playing many sports, such as baseball, volleyball and street hockey. He loved attending or watching games of the NY Yankees, Rangers or Giants, but really any sports. Wayne also could be seen at the local minor league games. He loved supporting the up-and-coming players who knew him by name.

Wayne enjoyed many hobbies including collecting sports memorabilia, checking out classic cars, and going to Auto Shows with his nephews and brother. One of his greatest passions was photography. His mother taught him how to develop pictures, and this became a life-long hobby and passion. He was the photographer for his high school yearbook. He eventually attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale for multimedia and photography.

Wayne loved the beach and lived in Bradley Beach, NJ for several years. He enjoyed taking pictures of cars, nature, sunrises and especially sunsets. Over the years Wayne was a volunteer protecting turtle nesting areas on the beaches.

He was predeceased by his parents, Sandra and Herbert Bluman, and nephew Christopher Bluman.

He is survived by: his twin sister Lori McGill and her husband Robert; his brothers Steven Bluman and his wife Marion, and Jeffrey Bluman; his nieces and nephews Jason Bluman and his wife Amanda, Daniel Bluman and his wife Steph, Angela Bluman, and Regina Bluman and her partner Andy; his great nieces (2 sets of twins, all sisters), Capri and Riley, Harbor and Millie Bluman; his Uncle Bob Bluman and his wife Aunt Sharon, along with several cousins.

It broke his heart that he never got to meet in person Jason's wife Amanda and his great nieces. Fortunately he got to face-time with them often.

We believe that he is now reunited with his Mom and Dad and Christopher. His contagious smile and laughter will be greatly missed. May God rest his soul.
