Wayne Young passed away suddenly on April 13, 2026, at the age of 70. He is survived by his wife, Beverley, and his daughter, Andrea, as well as his two younger brothers, his sister, several half siblings, and a large extended family. Born William Wayne Young on May 5, 1955, on Bell Island in Newfoundland, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1974, served as a peacekeeper in the Cyprus war, and finally retired from service in 1993. He spent the next 25 years as a long haul trucker across Canada and the U.S. After he retired, he got a job as a local school bus driver where he found a new joy interacting with the kids on his bus. He was passionate about politics and history, even researching his family tree back to the 1600s. Wayne moved to Caledonia in 2012 and gained a great fondness for his new community and felt peace on his balcony overlooking the Grand River. As per his wishes, Wayne will be cremated with no services or viewing to follow. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Miller Funeral Chapel, Caledonia.
