Wayne passed away peacefully, with medical assistance, at the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich on Friday, December 13, 2024 with his wife Anne-Marie, and family by his side. He is predeceased by his parents Grace (nee. Fritzley) and Ernie Peachey, and sister Ruth (George McLean), and is lovingly remembered by his sister Sylvia (Ken McGee). Wayne was a long-time employee of the Sifto Salt Mine beginning his career as an underground miner who later achieved his certification as an Industrial Mechanic Millwright. He used these skills to become a talented fabricator who completed many unique personal projects in his home shop. He was an avid trap shooter as a member of the Kippen Gun Club. At his request, there will be no visitation or funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations to Lupus Canada or charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Anne, it has been a long time since we worked together at the salt mine. I have never forgotten you and Wayne. I did not know of his illness, but I have remarked often of not seeing him tooting around Goderich in his corvette. I send my sincere condolences. Gayle

I’m met Wayne and Ace through the Doberman club, it was easy to see from day one how much he loved the dogs. I’ll never forget the day. I had a 10 week old puppy at his house and he was down on the floor playing with her. That memory will live with me forever.
