Obituary - Wayne Frederick Romain

PHOENIX, Ariz. - Wayne Frederick Romain was born in Fort Benton, Montana, June 29, 1957, to Meradel Vaughan Romain (1931-2014) and John Dominic Romain (1927-2015).  

Tuesday, April 25, Wayne went in for a very complicated heart surgery and after a long process passed away May 3, 2017, at 2:31 p.m.

Wayne was raised in Havre, Montana. He had a successful farm and bar in Montana before joining the rest of the family in Phoenix. He was in the real estate appraisal business for several years before he retired over a decade ago.  

His pride and joy was his daughter, Amelia of Phoenix, who survives him, and her daughter, Anya. He is also survived by his brother, Richard John "Rick" Romain, and sister-in-law, Janet Boling Romain, his niece, Kaley Romain of Fountain Hills, and his big sister, Angela Romain of Phoenix. Wayne was also very proud of raising his stepchildren K.J., Dru, Jamie and Ryan from a previous marriage.

He loved to travel and over the last couple years had an RV that he hung out in when away from Phoenix. He had a brilliant mind and could figure out how to fix things without blueprints or directions. He was very creative such as how he took certain pictures or how to address problems. He loved family more than anything. He was an absolutely amazing father and will be sorely missed.

We will be having private events in his honor in Phoenix.
