Obituary of Wayne Albert Moore
September 29, 1944 – Cereal, Alberta
November 13, 2024 – Calgary, Alberta
Wayne Moore of Calgary, AB, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at the age of 80 years after a two-year battle with cancer.
Wayne was born in Cereal, AB, on September 29, 1944, and grew up in Oyen, AB. He pursued technical school in Ontario in 1962 and commenced a 50-year career in telecommunications. In the 70s, he answered the call of the prairies, returning to Calgary where he married his wife Sharon with whom he raised two children.
Wayne enjoyed playing guitar, listening to music, and he had a keen interest in trains. In Wayne’s eyes, there was never a task too large; automotive, construction, or otherwise. He was generous with his time and expertise, always willing to lend a helping hand to friends and family.
Wayne’s most memorable vacations were family road trips to Idaho, camping with his family in a van he customized himself. In his retirement, he ventured further this time by plane, to Huatulco, Mexico with his wife Sharon.
Wayne is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Sharon, his children, Karla Hayduk (Vince) and Kaleb Christensen-Moore (Sandra); four grandchildren, Walter, Alec, Gracelyn, and Sebastian Hayduk; his brothers, Alvin (Gayla) and Dennis; mother-in-law Carol Stewart, as well as five brothers and sisters-in-law; ten nieces and nephews; and thirteen grand-nieces and grand-nephews. Wayne was predeceased by his parents Walter and Helen Moore.
A Celebration of Wayne's Life will be held at Glamorgan Church of God (4715 45 Street SW, Calgary, AB), on Friday, November 22, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. Reception to follow in the Church Hall.
