In Loving Memory of Wayne Fretwell — Forever in Our Hearts

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Wayne Fretwell, aged 55, who left this world peacefully in the early hours of the morning at 12:45 a.m., surrounded by the love and comfort of his children. His passing marks the end of a long and difficult journey, but also the beginning of his eternal peace. Those who knew Wayne remember him as a man who faced life’s challenges with quiet courage, resilience, and a heart full of love for his family.

Born and raised among people who knew him well, Wayne’s story is one of perseverance, strength, and unconditional love. Though life was not always easy for him, he carried on with determination, meeting every obstacle with the same grit and spirit that defined him. His life was a testament to endurance — to never giving up, even when the world felt heavy.

Wayne’s family describes him as a deeply caring father, brother, and friend — a man who loved fiercely and gave the best of himself to those he held close. In his children’s eyes, he was a hero — someone who, despite his struggles, remained a constant source of love, laughter, and protection. The final moments he shared with them were filled with tenderness and peace, a reflection of the bond they will forever cherish.

Those who knew Wayne remember his warmth, his honesty, and his humor. He had a way of lighting up a room with his presence — not through loudness or grandeur, but through authenticity and heart. He said what he meant, meant what he said, and cared deeply about the people around him. Even through the hard times, Wayne never stopped being there for others, often putting their needs before his own.

He faced many difficulties in his life — challenges that shaped him but never defined his worth or his spirit. He “paid the price,” as his family lovingly said, but he did so with dignity and strength. His journey was not an easy one, but it was real, human, and full of love. And now, after all the pain and struggle, Wayne has finally found his rest.

The Fretwell family wishes to express their gratitude to all who have reached out in love and support. Your kind words, prayers, and memories bring great comfort during this time of mourning. To those who knew Wayne — friends from near and far, old neighbors, and lifelong companions — his family asks that you remember him not for his struggles, but for his heart, his laughter, and the light he brought into your life.

A service to celebrate Wayne’s life will be announced at a later date, giving family and friends the opportunity to come together, share memories, and say goodbye to a man who will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Though his time on earth has come to an end, Wayne’s spirit lives on in the hearts of his children and all who loved him. His story — one of perseverance, love, and quiet strength — will never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace, Wayne Fretwell (1970–2025)
You fought your battles bravely. Now, may you rest peacefully at last.
Forever loved, forever missed.
