ROCKLAND – Wayne Scott Havener, 60, of Rockland, passed away unexpectedly on August 1, 2024 at Maine Medical Center due to health complications.
Wayne was born in Rockland on July 16, 1964, to Wendall and Pricilla Havener. He attended local schools and graduated from Rockland District High School in 1983. He worked for Fisher Engineering for 14 years and then for two short years at Hannaford, cleaning and waxing floors, until health issues permanently prevented him from working.
On July 31, 1990, Wayne’s firstborn son Travis Havener was born and on April 4, 2022, his second son Ryley Havener was born.
In his better years, Wayne enjoyed hunting and fishing and taking road trips through the marshes and mountains in Rockport. He also enjoyed a cold beer after a long day at work and spending time with longtime friends Chris Colson, Floyd Firth, Michelle Colson and Kempton Rich.
Wayne had a very large family that he loved with all his heart. One of the happiest days of his life was the birth of his granddaughter Leah Havener.
Wayne was preceded in death by his mother Priscilla Havener, his son Travis Havener, his nephew William “Willie” Havener Jr., his niece Morgan Wadsworth, his great-niece Danielle Brochu-Havener and his maternal grandparents,
Edward and Francis Curtis and his paternal grandparents, Hazel and Jessie Havener.
He is survived by his father, Wendall Havener of Rockland, his son, Ryley Havener of Rockland, his brother, William “Billy” Havener and his partner, Cathy Christie of Rockport, his sister, Teresa Kaler of Rockland, his nieces, Sarah Havener and her partner, Martin Link of Cushing, Ashley Havener of Camden, Santa Havener of Augusta, Emilee Havener of Rockland and Jazmyn Dennis of Rockport, his longtime partner, April Rawley and their two sons, Joe Gamage and Caleb O’Brien, a woman he considered a daughter, Kayla Morris and their two sons, Wesley and Waylen, and his beloved cat, Mario.
Wayne was a very light-hearted man who was always smiling and would do anything for anyone. He is now with most of our family, but the rest of us will miss him and his infectious laugh very much.
A celebration of Wayne’s life was held on Thursday, August 22, 2024, at Achorn Cemetery in Rockland.
The funeral home is Burpee, Carpenter and Hutchins Funeral Home in Rockland, Maine.
