Wayne Garry Clark

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that the family announces the passing of Wayne Garry Clark on May 23, 2022 at the Neepawa Health Centre.   Born in Brandon, MB. on April 1, 1945, he was the youngest child of Winnifred and William Clark.

After completing his commercial cooking course in Winnipeg, he took a position in the dietary department of the Brandon General Hospital.  In 1970 he married Janis Chown.  They moved to Neepawa in 1971 and Wayne became the Food Supervisor at East View Lodge.  In 1973, he purchased the local bakery and kept Clark's Bakery for 13 years.  After a short time as a butcher at Barber's Sore in Gladstone, he began working at Neepawa Creamery and eventually Schwans Canada.  Wayne became the Western Canada Distribution Manager.  After leaving Schwans, he finished his career working at the Neepawa Vet Clinic.

Wayne was a hardworking, fun loving Boston Bruin fan who was first in line to help, to volunteer his time and expertise, to offer golf advice, to coach hockey, to be a volunteer fire fighter and to teach people to drive.  His quick one liner wit put a smile on everyone's face.

He was predeceased by his siblings George, Edward, Robert, Emma, Reta, and Anita.  He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Janis, his daughter Laura (Trevor Watt) and granddaughters Gianna and Genevieve,  and daughter Tracey (Jamey Harper) with special buddies Yogi and Romeo.

His celebration of life will be held on May 28, 2022 at the Neepawa United-Anglican Shared Ministry Church.

The world has lost a wonderful man.
