Wayne A. Bergeron

Born and raised on a farm in Vermont, Wayne learned the value of hard work at a young age. He spent much of his life logging and always had his trusty chainsaw by his side. No job was too big or too small, and his tireless work ethic earned him respect from all who knew him. He loved a long day’s work, a cold Miller Genuine Draft and the satisfaction of a job well done.

Wayne proudly embraced his Native American heritage and was known as Chief Wolf-Heart by his Native American friends. He loved his family fiercely and considered his only brother, Paul, his closest confidant. With no children of his own, his love for his two nieces was immeasurable.

Wayne was a daredevil, always looking for the next thrill to make his heart race. Despite his impulsive nature, Wayne’s family and friends could always count on him to help. His unwavering commitment to his family and community testified to his character and goodness.

Wayne’s life may have been cut short, but he lived it on his terms. He made no apologies for his rough-and-tumble ways and lived each day to the fullest. He will be missed by all that knew him, but his family takes comfort that he is at peace and surrounded by his loved ones who have died before him.

Rest in peace dear uncle, brother, son and friend. Your legacy will live in our hearts forever.

Wayne was predeceased by his father, Paul Bergeron; his mother, Anita Bergeron; and his great niece, Christa Keppler.

Wayne leaves behind his stepmother, Patricia Bergeron; his brother, Paul Bergeron of Craftsbury and Hardwick; two nieces; a great nephew; and a large extended family.

To honor Wayne’s memory and his love of animals, please donate to your local animal shelter in lieu of flowers. Services will be at the convenience of the family.
