Wayne Doiron

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Wayne Doiron on August 11, 2025, surrounded by his family.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 57 years, Diana; his children, Leanne (Warren) Pharis of Manning, AB, Kori (Joel) Steenhart of Crossfield, AB and Dallas Doiron of Carbon, AB; grandchildren, Ward Pharis, Clayton (Avery) Pharis, Levi Pharis, Sarah Steenhart, Scarlett Steenhart; and great-grandson, Kirby Pharis. Also remembered by his siblings, Lorna (Urbain) Gaudin, Pauline (John) Cox, Carol-Ann (Don) Evans, Irene (Ron) McLean, John (Helen) Doiron, Ricky (Tracey} Doiron; sisters-in-law, Inez Doiron and Marina Doiron; in-laws, Judi (Bill) Brose and Darryl (Connie) Murphy as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Wayne was pre-deceased by his parents, Aubin & Bertha; brothers, Ron, Fred, Allison; sister, Marilyn; and in-laws, Bill & Doreen Murphy.

Wayne was born and raised in Hope River, Prince Edward Island. At the age of 16, he headed west via Quebec and Toronto, eventually landing in Alberta to work in the oilfield. A few years later he met Diana, and they were married in 1968 with their three children to follow.

Wayne spent most of his life as a truck driver. In retirement, he traded in the gravel trailer for a 5th wheel holiday trailer, and they set out on the road. Wayne and Diana set up their "Hole in the Woods" in PEI on a piece of land that he had grown up on. They would spend every summer here enjoying seafood, golfing and trips to the shore with family and friends. Once fall approached, they would pack up and head back to Alberta for some visiting and to help out on the farm before heading to Arizona & Nevada for the winter.

Besides his family, Wayne's greatest accomplishment was his dedication and 46 years of Alcoholics Anonymous. This was his extended family, and he went to every meeting he could until his illness changed his world. As much as AA saved his life once, he played a roll in helping many others find recovery.

He will be sorely missed by so many.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity.

A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date.
