Wambolt, Wayne Robert – Age 81, of Milford, passed away on Saturday, June 27, 2026 in Brookfield. Born in Wellington, he was the youngest son of the late Samuel Seaforth and Lottie Mae (Taylor) Wambolt.
Wayne is survived by his children, Robin Wambolt (Torben), Dutch Settlement; Dwayne Wambolt (Tabatha), Kentville; estranged daughter Roxanne Sutherland, Shubenacadie; and Durell Wambolt (Bernadette), Mississauga, Ontario. He is also survived by his sister, Betty Jean, Georgetown, Ontario; six grandchildren; and several great-grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his former wife, Phoebe Cousins; brothers, Aretas Wambolt and Vernon Wambolt; and his beloved sister, Bertina Murphy. Loved ones he now joins in rest.
Those who knew Wayne knew his greatest passion: the miles he put beneath his wheels as a long-distance truck driver. Trucking wasn’t just his job—it was his identity, his pride, his freedom. He could tell you what the sunrise looked like in half a dozen provinces. He could recall the best diners, the worst weather, and the stretches of highway where he felt most at peace. The cab of his truck was a place where he thought, dreamed, and reflected. It was where he felt most himself. The highway wasn’t just his workplace; it was his home and the place he nurtured his deep appreciation for hard work!
The family extends our heartfelt gratitude to VON, Colchester East Hants Health Centre, and the staff of Elk Court long-term care in Brookfield for their kindness, care, and support during Wayne’s final years. We would also like to extend a special thank you to Linda and Billy Day for their unwavering friendship and care for Dad during these most difficult times.
As per his wishes, cremation has taken place.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Christ Lutheran Evangelical Church, Camperdown, Lunenburg County.
