Wayne Andrew Foster, 61, of Fort Wayne, passed away on June 23, 2026. He was born on November 23, 1964, in New Haven, Connecticut, to the late Wayne and Kathleen Foster.

He was a 1984 graduate from North Side High School and served in the National Guard for 12 years. He also worked as a transmission specialist at Summit Transmission, prior to working as a truck driver for Holly Sales, Inc. and Jerry W. Bailey Trucking, Inc.

In his spare time, he had a steady way of making others feel welcomed and was always ready to lend a hand. With a kind and gentle spirit, Wayne was known for helping the kids in the neighborhood—patiently fixing bikes, neighbors' lawn mowers, and cars—and for offering that same care to anyone who needed it. He also enjoyed spending time at the lake. His love extended naturally to animals as well; he cherished his dog, Miya, and was a devoted lover of all animals. Above all, Wayne loved his family very much.

Wayne is survived by his wife of 36 years, Lana; his step-son, Steve Robb; and his brothers, Chad Foster, Dennis Foster, Bryan Foster, and Tim (Tina) Foster.
