In loving memory of Wayne Alrik Selman, age 68 years, who passed away at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg Manitoba, on Friday, April 4th 2025.
Wayne was born in Fort Frances, Ontario. He is pre-deceased by his parents Roy and Matilda Selman. He leaves behind sister Brenda (Dante), brother Carl (Crystal), sister Ivah (John), nephew Zane (Rebecca and family), nephew Dante Jr (Danni and family), nephew Caelum (Breanne), Sharleen and extended family.
Wayne shared thirty-one-years with Gloria, Brandy, Edward and Shyla.
He graduated from Dryden High School. He worked various jobs after working at the Dryden papermill. He then went to woodlands as a heavy equipment operator. He enhanced his career by graduating college in Pembroke Ontario, receiving his wood scalers certificate. He was employed with Buchanon, in Sioux Lookout and was a truck scaler at the Hudson Mill. His later years he worked at Dryden Husky/Esso and then Canadian Tire. His favourite past times were watching sports (hockey, football, baseball, curling), fishing, picking berries and mushrooms, and playing bingo. He had many friends, but was a private man and loved dogs more than people.
A Celebration of Life will take place on Sunday, April 13, 2025 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Unifor Hall.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Second Chance Pet Network, Box 953, Dryden, ON P8N 3E3
The family asks in lieu of flowers or cards, that you plant a tree in his memory.
