In Loving Memory
Lloyd Wayne Bennison
Wayne passed away at Kamloops Hospice association on Saturday, July 8th, 2023, at the age of 84 years. Wayne was born in Revelstoke, BC on October 24,1938.
Wayne was predeceased by his parents John Lloyd and Vera Bennison. He is survived by his former wife Darcy and son Brad who lives and works in Delia, Alberta. He is lovingly remembered by his brother, Barry of Revelstoke, BC, and sister Charlene (Bob) of Calgary, Alberta as well as many nieces and nephews. Wayne was a very accomplished accordion player. He taught lessons in Revelstoke for some time. After graduation, Wayne went to work for CPR, but then switched to CNR where he worked until he retired at the age of 51. He then started his own business, putting out fires on the railroad following the grinder and finally retired a second time for good.
Wayne was very musical and loved to dance. He even taught dance lessons in Edmonton at Arthur Murray studios.
Wayne always had a joke to tell and told them very well.

Char and Bob – Deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Wayne was a wonderful Uncle, and had a great smile and twinkle in his eye. He will be missed.
RIP Wayne you will be missed by all who knew you💕💕💕
Thank you for letting us know that Wayne has passed. I have such great memories of him and his fun sense of humor. He was great at telling jokes. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends and family.
Love and prayers, Rick and Faith
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the Bennison and Forbes families as you each reflect on Wayne’s place in your lives.
We know you will each miss him and hope your special memories help to lighten the sadness you are feeling.
It was a pleasure to know Wayne and we hope our caring helps in some small way. Patricia and Byron Elliott
I always enjoyed Uncle Wayne’s dry wit and deprecating humour. He never took himself too seriously and was always quick with a funny aside. I have so many fond memories of Wayne, my Dad Barry and Aunt Charlene laughing and enjoying each other and our extended family when we would gather together at the home in Revelstoke where the three of them were born, and my Dad Barry still lives.
Wayne, Dad and Charlene embody the motto of the Three Muskateers. “All for one and one for all.” The siblings shared a life-long devotion to each other, and their many nieces and nephews and grand-nieces and grand-nephews and made us all feel welcome and loved and part of a very special family.
I hope Uncle Wayne’s memory will bring some comfort to my cousin Bradley, and know that we are thinking of you and your loss and missing our wonderful Uncle.
Sympathy to Charlene, Barry and family. Remembering Wayne during our growing up years in Revelstoke, oh so long ago. May he rest in peace and keep on dancing.
