Obituary – Wayne McConnell

WAYNE McCONNELL

Wayne Glen McConnell of Kincardine passed away, suddenly at home, on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023, at the age of 72.
Beloved son of Glen McConnell and the late Isabel McConnell (nèe Cameron) (2008)
Cherished brother of Brenda McConnell (Rick Williams).
Fondly remembered by a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and many friends.
Wayne was a reader and a gatherer of knowledge. For him, reading the encyclopedia was a good thing. He always had several pens and a few notepads handy, to record and make note of thoughts and findings. A social being, Wayne would talk to anyone. He enjoyed going for a drive “to see what was going on” and breakfast at Jean’s was almost a daily event. Along his life’s path, Wayne met and chatted with many, sharing time and stories. He will be remembered by those who knew him.
His family will receive friends at the Davey-Linklater Funeral Home (757 Princes Street, Kincardine) from 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2023. The funeral service will be held at the funeral home at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 28, 2023, with Rev. Rob Hiscox officiating. A reception will also be held at the funeral home following the interment at the Kincardine Cemetery.
If so desired, donations to the Kincardine Agricultural Society in Wayne’s memory would be appreciated by his family.
