MINNETT, Wayne

1943 - 2023

Wayne and I met in Gr. 13 at EHS, and in July marked our 55th year of a wonderful life together. We had so much fun. He lived every day with enthusiasm and was so kind and caring to us all. Wayne loved so many things - his Lord, his teaching, his music, his garden, farming, volunteering and very especially his family: Seana, Stan, Norah & Evan, Karyn, Ken, Bec & Mitu, Kristy, Titus & Scarlett. We were all so loved. How we miss him already at every turn.

Visitation on Saturday October 21, 2023 starting at 1:00 p.m. onward at the Good Shepherd Church in Englehart. All Welcome.

When I think of Uncle Wayne so many memories come flooding in. I remember him coming to our house with his new skidoo, shopping for a new dress for the wedding, Uncle Wayne and Aunt Isabell moving into the little house nearby, Uncle Wayne coming to Charlton public school to give us a music class. I even remember the song he taught us, “Jack was every inch a sailer”. I remember him at so many church and family occasions. I was always happy to say that he was my uncle. He was so kind and generous and a man of God. He will be greatly missed! Our sincere condolences and love to the family.

Wayne minnett

Our deepest sympathies. Wayne was a humble man, always putting the needs of others above his own. He loved his Lord first, his family a close second, and gave himself 100% to service. He brought joy, peace, comfort, and inspiration to us all with his music. He challenged us all with his service, humility, and joy in simple things. He demonstrated how to live a life of Christian service, showing your faith in a loving God by loving others. He will be sorely missed.

Dear Isabelle and Family

It was heart breaking to hear the sad news. I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Minnett was an incredible person who positively influenced the lives of all of his students. He had such passion, kindness and humour that turned learning into fun.... he is the reason that we are better adults today. I will forever cherish the memories of special times at Savard Public School. From the music to him playing sports with us at recess ... there will never be another educator/Principal so invested in student success. He was truly a Champion and one of a kind. We will forever remember him. I am wishing you comfort and peace at this challenging time. May happy memories of the love and times you shared together as a family, comfort you and give you the strength to go on. Love and prayers.

Isabell, Seana & Stan, Karyn & Ken & Kristy and the entire family

I keep searching for the right words but they don't seem to exist.... What a wonderful man Wayne was. The list of descriptive adjective is lengthy; godly, kind, loving, caring, friendly, compassionate, intelligent, witty, humourous, musical, multi-talented, honest, forthright, dedicated, faithful, loyal, giving, generous, practical, adventurous, energetic, passionate, nature loving, thoughtful, selfless........... etc. So many memories flood our minds and our hearts of precious times we shared over the years.

Isabell, we know Wayne was your best friend, that he was as perfect for you as you were for him, a true partnership. We love you and will continue to pray for you and the entire family as you grieve this sudden and unexpected loss. May God grant you rest and comfort, dear friend. xo Nancy & Lloyd Packham

Mr Minnett will always be remembered by so many people for an array of things. I remember having him as 4/5 grade teacher and all the brightness he brought to school with him. His passion of music and teaching combined. Often his lessons were accompanied by a song or a keyboard melody. He touched so many peoples hearts and saw the good in everyone. Although he is gone he leaves behind a maze of memories that he will live on in. Although the road is hard Isabelle know that all of our thoughts are with you. He was a remarkable man. May he rest in peace. Good-bye Mr Minnett

My thoughts are with you. Wayne was an inspiration to us all by his life of service. I’m certainly not alone in having many good memories of him quietly playing the piano at church for so many years whether there was a large or small number in the congregation. Always a friendly word whenever we met. He will be dearly missed. Do keep in touch.

Isabel and Family

We just learned today from our family in New Liskeard about the passing of dear Wayne. We are deeply saddened for all of you family members and the many in the area who held this man is such high esteem. My first memory of Wayne comes from music festival time when he accompanied singers from the Charlton area. His distinctive walk up to the piano and his musical style embedded themselves in my memory. Then on the occasions when we were visitors are Thornloe Baptist church, our hearts were warmed by that same style as he smiled warmly from the piano bench as he played. He was a great contributor to so much ministry and will be greatly missed. May your assurance of him being in the loving arms of His Saviour bring you comfort even as your own hearts ache with his absence. You are much in our thoughts and prayers.

Garry and Rosemary Schubert, October 21, 2023
