Wayne Prest
Obituary
PREST, Wayne…
Marwood “Wayne” Prest passed away peacefully on Friday, July 4th, 2025 at University Hospital, London in his 83rd year. Wayne will be missed by his children Barry (Lucy), Julia (Darrell), Darren (Heydi) and Tyler. Loving Grandpa to Taylor and Azalea. Brother to Jim, the late Bev (Karen) and Brian (the late Delores). Wayne will also be missed by his Aunt Donna, many cousins, nephews, nieces and friends.
Wayne was a hard worker at his jobs over the years, including nearly 20 years at Dominion Chain in Stratford and he often enjoyed riding his Honda CX 500 Custom motorcycle back and forth to work. In his spare time, Wayne enjoyed baseball and hockey as well as playing cards and crokinole with family and friends.
As his health failed in his later years, Wayne took comfort in his hope for the future based on the scripture at Revelation 21:4 which says in part, “death will be no more”.
Heartfelt thanks to all of the staff at University Hospital that cared for and comforted Wayne during his final days.
Cremation has taken place. An online memorial service will take place on Saturday, July 19th, 2025 at 2 pm via Zoom. Please reach out to this email address for the Zoom connection information wayne.prest1943@gmail.com

We will miss you Dad.
Barry, Julia, Darren and Tyler
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a very kind and patient man. He had the biggest smile and an absolute heart of gold. He loved his family unconditionally and was a true gentleman. He was also a little bit mischievous and appreciated a good joke or telling a tale.
He will be missed.
