With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Wayne Neville Collett on Wednesday, March 20th, 2024 at the age of 83, at the North Shore Hospice, surrounded by his cherished family.
He leaves behind his beloved family, the loves of his life – (Catherine) Kim, wife of 57 years, daughters Elisabeth Collett and Meghan Menning, granddaughters Mylie and Kaiya Menning and Rob, their loving father, b-i-l John (Maureen) Maclachlan – and the extended family. Predeceased by parents H. Neville Collett and Janet Marie Collett and infant granddaughter Brianna Collett Oble.
Wayne’s career in finance and industry, as a Chartered Accountant, was broad and varied – with RoyNat Ltd. for 14 years then Westcoast Transmission/Energy/Power until retirement. He enjoyed the world of Finance and his long association with Financial Executives Institute.
Wayne’s passions were his family; enjoying the outdoors through sports, hiking, camping and RV-ing; the details of the news and of what made things work; awe-inspiring views; at-home parties; cruising abroad in his later years; and his privacy.
