With deep sorrow for our loss, but with joy in the knowledge that our beloved dad is with Christ, we announce the passing of Wayne Christopher Attwood on September 18, 2021, at the age of 80. Wayne was a devoted and exemplary husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother and friend to many.
He is survived by his precious wife of 59 years, Muriel and his children Todd (Patricia), Lynn (Paul), Kemp (Natalia), Bryn (Stacy) and his special nephew Corry who is like a son. He is the cherished “dad” of Bonnie, dear friend of Michael and uncle to Sean and Christina. He will be profoundly missed by his grandchildren Sarah (Tyler), Joel (Jolene), Taylor (Amber), Annah (Maph), Abby (Kaleb), Ruth, Judah, Jesse, Esther, Sam-Jin, Naomi, Hope, Grace, Connor, Nathan, Emily and Logan, his great grandchildren Carter, Caroline, Axel, Eden, Audi and Amy, his sisters Irene (Duaine), Marlene (Brian) and Wendy (Ken), and dear friend Fred Cronmiller.
Wayne passed away suddenly while he and Muriel were visiting with family and friends at Liard Hotsprings, British Columbia.
A memorial service celebrating Wayne’s life will be held at Lakeshore Evangelical Missionary Church. For more information please refer to Wayne’s memorial website for more information in the coming days.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, you are welcome to make a donation to the ministry of Paul and Lynn Hanthorn who are missionaries in the Northwest Territories with Northern Canada Evangelical Mission.
The family thanks everyone for their generous support, prayers and love. Muriel would like to express special gratitude to the staff at Liard Hotsprings Lodge.
